    Dave Tried The Scoring Method. Then THIS Happened. | Will Robins (Part 2)
    Oct 17 2026

    What if you could shoot lower golf scores, hit more greens and cut your handicap — without changing your golf swing? Dave tried Will Robins’ Scoring Method. And the results might surprise you.

    After the incredible reaction to Part 1, Will Robins is back on How Low Can You Go? for the second half of a conversation that could fundamentally change the way you play golf.

    Will is an award-winning PGA golf coach and creator of The Scoring Method, a revolutionary approach to golf improvement that focuses on one thing above everything else: shooting lower scores with the golf game you already have.

    And in Part 2, things get seriously practical.

    Why do golfers keep making doubles and triples when they could be making bogeys? Why do we obsess over improving our golf swings instead of learning how to score? And could smarter course management, better club selection and playing to your actual ability be the quickest route to breaking 90, breaking 80 or reaching scratch?

    Will challenges Dave and Chris to rethink almost everything about how they approach the golf course.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • The Four Gears of Golf — how to choose the right shots for your ability, manage risk and avoid unnecessary mistakes.
    • Confidence versus competence — why positive thinking isn’t enough, and how testing your skills can transform your performance under pressure.
    • Play to your handicap — Will’s brilliant approach to tackling difficult holes and taking the pressure off your scorecard.
    • Stop making doubles and triples — why eliminating disastrous holes can dramatically lower your golf scores.
    • Better club selection and approach shots — why taking more club, aiming away from trouble and understanding your distances could help you hit more greens.
    • Train hard, play easy — how to practise with purpose, build genuine golfing skills and take them onto the course.
    • The truth about your short game — why so many golfers overestimate their ability inside 100 yards, and how to identify where shots are really being lost.
    • Better golf without changing your swing — why smarter decisions and better scoring skills can deliver results that swing improvements alone might not.
    • The mental game of golf — managing expectations, reducing tension and learning to enjoy your golf even when you’re desperate to shoot a good score.

    And there’s a very special update from Dave.

    After recording with Will, Dave and Chris were generously given full access to The Scoring Method.

    Dave wasted no time putting it into practice.

    And after a couple of rounds getting to grips with the system, something rather exciting happened.

    Ten greens in regulation in consecutive rounds. A round of 81. And a handicap cut from 13.6 to 13.1.

    Could this finally be the breakthrough that gets Dave under 80?

    Whether you’re a high-handicap golfer trying to break 100, a mid-handicapper desperate to break 90 or 80, or a low-handicapper chasing scratch, Will’s advice offers a completely different way to think about golf improvement.

    Because golf isn’t about how good your swing looks. It’s about how many shots it takes to get the ball in the hole.

  • Stop Trying to Play Good Golf. Start Shooting Good Scores. | Will Robins' Scoring Method

    Stop Trying to Play Good Golf. Start Shooting Good Scores. | Will Robins' Scoring Method
    Oct 8 2026

    What if the secret to shooting lower golf scores isn’t improving your swing — but completely changing the way you play golf?

    Golf is a scoring game. So why do so many of us spend hours working on our swings, only to see the same disappointing numbers on our scorecards?

    This week on How Low Can You Go?, Dave and Chris are joined by Will Robins, award-winning PGA golf coach and creator of The Scoring Method, a revolutionary approach to golf improvement that focuses on helping golfers shoot lower scores with the game they already have.

    And Will has a remarkable story. After surviving the devastating 2004 Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand while on his honeymoon, his life and golfing career took an extraordinary turn.

    In Part 1 of this fascinating two-part conversation, Will challenges almost everything we think we know about getting better at golf.

    We explore:

    • Why better golf swings don’t necessarily mean lower scores — and why so many golfers are working on the wrong things.
    • The expectations trap — how frustration, pressure and tension can destroy your ability to perform.
    • Train hard, play easy — why your practice sessions might actually be setting you up to fail on the course.
    • Breaking 90, breaking 80 and breaking through scoring barriers — how to turn your existing ability into better results.
    • The Four Gears of Golf — Will’s brilliant approach to course management, risk and playing to your ability.
    • Stop making doubles and triples — why eliminating big numbers is often far more important than chasing birdies.

    Dave also reveals how applying Will’s advice several years ago helped him shoot 86 when he was struggling to break 90.

    Whether you’re a high-handicap golfer desperate to break 100, a mid-handicapper chasing 80, or a low-handicapper trying to reach scratch, this conversation could fundamentally change the way you approach the game.

    Because golf isn’t about how good your swing looks. It’s about how many shots it takes to get the ball in the hole.

Why isn't simply understanding your golf psychology enough? And what happens when your brain tries to drag you straight back into the same old patterns?We also get into one of the biggest issues facing any golfer who is working hard to improve:EXPECTATION.Dave has been practising, taking lessons and seeing genuine signs of improvement — so why aren't the scores coming?Raymond explains why expecting your hard work to produce better golf on your timetable can become a trap — and why the pursuit of improvement is very different from demanding a particular outcome.Chris, meanwhile, gives a fascinating real-world example of what can happen when you stop protecting your score and start playing freely — including how that mindset helped him shoot 67 twice.We also discuss:How to change your golf mindset and play with more freedomDealing with fear of failure and performance anxiety in golfWhy changing your mental game requires repsExpectations versus improvementPlaying under pressure and entering a flow stateWhy golfers start protecting a good scoreTaking swing changes from the driving range to the golf courseBlock practice vs random practiceWhy making a swing change might mean accepting worse scores in the short termIf you've ever worked hard at your golf, expected to get better, and then wondered why you still can't produce it when it matters, this episode is for you.DR RAYMOND PRIOR — GOLF BENEATH THE SURFACEDr Raymond Prior is a performance consultant and author of Golf Beneath the Surface: The New Science of Golf Psychology.
