I'm going to start with telling you the worst thing about the "How to Break 80" program. Its the title! It should be How to shoot in the 70's. Because that's what I do now. Yes, I break 80 now, round after round. But I get great satisfaction saying I'm a 70's shooter! I think everyone who plays this game and doesn't already break 80 wants to get there. I'll admit I act a little more confident and yes occasionally I feel a little more licensed to give advice which probably isn't a good thing.
I used to be one of the "If only" guys in the bar after the round. You know "If only I had more time to practice, If only I drove the ball better, If only I could putt, If only I didn't duck-hook the ball into the water on 18 then I could break 80!
You see my problem was I didn't have a plan. I tried every tip that came along. One week I foucs on driving, the next week chipping, then irons, and always, always putting. There was no real discipline and in some cases I was working on the wrong things. It turns out I actually drive the ball pretty well for my abilities but I still spent a lot of time working on that part of the game when I should have been focusing on chipping and iron play if I wanted to break 80.
I won't bore you with the all the details of my first time breaking 80. My foursome is a little sick of that story anyway. But I will tell you this. The last hole at my home course is a relatively easy par 5. But there is water all the way down the left side. I came to this hole only needing a bogey to shoot 79. I'd been in this position several times before but always managed a hooking a ball into the hazard, take my double bogey and yes post 80. But the How to Break 80 program made me think about this situation differently and I actually birdied the hole to shoot 77. My first time breaking 80 and I shot 77! I'm still excited talking about it.
So if you're struggling to break 80 you might want to consider this program. You can probably get there on your own but if you want a blueprint for how to break 80 quickly then this is it.
Pros
The material is presented by someone who understands where you're coming from. Even tour pros used to say they didn't want to take a putting lesson from Ben Crenshaw. He was such a naturally gifted putter that he probably didn't struggle with some of the the putting isses that other good golfers go through with their putting. The instruction is presented clearly and concisely with lots of photos so its easy to see the concepts. Its also simple. No, physics of the swing information to give you paralysis by analysis. In fact, its the opposite. One of the keys I learned was to be comfortbale with my own swing. I didn't have to change everything to break 80. I just had to learn how to make what I already had work better for me.
Cons
There is a lot of information and material. You could try and do too much at once because there are simple concepts to work on for every part of your game. This is not intended to re-make your entire game. Its designed to help you score better.
I would recommend you take advantage of the game tracking software. This was a key for me because it told me that I drove the ball well enough to break 80 and I actually putted well enough. However, my chipping was not up to par.

How to Fix a Slice
Are you hoarse from shouting Fore? Are you embarassed when you have to grabs three clubs and go looking in the woods for your ball? Has your dreaded slice cost you another nassau?
Don't worry, my friend Dave has devised a simple 4 step, 4 drill program that will get you back in the fairway with just one bucket of balls.
I didn't think I would ever need a product like this because my tendency is to go left. But a little while ago that tendency turned into a vicious snap hook. So I started doing everything I could to hit the ball the other way. I changed my grip, changed my stance and wouldn't you know it I developed a nice slice and lost about 30 yards in the process.
So then I tired everything I thought I knew about hitting the ball left and nothing worked. I was desperate because I was paying out every weekend and no one wanted to get paired with me. With me as your partner you not only lost money but you were stuck in a cart that was always in the rocks, hills and trees on the right side.
I came across Dave's simple method and voila! I was cured after one bucket of range balls. Actually for me it happened after just two of the drills but I won't say which two because everyone is different and the other drills may be better for you.
The nice thing is that its been a few months now and the slice is still gone. If there is one drawback its that I go left sometimes. I still have some alignment problems from all of my slicing but the ball is going pretty straight now.
