⛳ How to Use a Golf Simulator to Lower Your Scores (Free Download)

If you're serious about lowering your scores, using a golf simulator can be a game-changer. I recently shaved a few strokes off my handicap, going from a 7 to a 4, by creating a precise Printable Golf Club Distance Chart. Over several sessions, I meticulously tracked the distances of each club in my bag, including ½ and ¾ swing shots, using my golf simulator. This data revealed surprising insights, like the 30-yard difference between my best and worst shots with some clubs and the fact that my assumptions about how far I hit certain irons were off by 10-15 yards.

With this information, I adjusted my approach, created a laminated cheat sheet of my shot data, and now reference it during rounds. This tool has helped me make smarter club selections, avoid trouble on the course, and ultimately reduce dreaded three-putts. You can do the same—download my free Printable Golf Club Distance Chart, start tracking your shots, and watch your scores drop.
