Breaking 80

A 30-Minute Breaking 80 Session Plan

Sharpen a focused practice block with wedges, approach targets, short-game pressure, and putting closure.

Make every minute count

A golfer chasing 79 doesn’t need a casual bucket. The session should pressure your scoring clubs and reveal whether your plan is ready for the course.

Time Task Standard
6 min Wedge carries Land within a chosen window
8 min Approach targets Safe miss named before swing
8 min Up-and-down game One ball, full routine
5 min Lag putting Inside three feet
3 min Four-footers Finish without rushing

Add a rule

You only get one ball per target. If you miss, move on and record it. That small constraint changes the feel of practice because it removes the comfort of immediate correction.

What to learn

Notice which shots fail under pressure. If 80-yard wedges keep flying long, your next session has a theme. If approaches miss on the short side, your target selection needs work as much as your swing.
