Two things contribute about equally for me-
1. Putting. Even if it's hitting shorter ones, it just feels good being able to hole out. Consistently making putts makes me a lot more confident in addition to lowering the score.
2. Learning to throw putters and mids effectively. I rarely reach for a fairway driver anymore, and there aren't a whole lot of courses where I even bring distance drivers. Longest I ever really have to throw on a woody Charlotte course is 350-375. Most are 325 or less, which is mid/putter duty. I'm staying in the fairway more, I'm loving shaping shots with my angle and not just the disc.
Those 2 changes took me from averaging about 6-8 over par, to averaging 2-4 under, with a personal best of -14 on a shorter course(Bailey Rd) or a -10(12 birds, 2 bogeys)at Dry Creek from the longs
