Justin Thomas has played in plenty of Pro-Ams throughout the years, so he’s well aware of certain mistakes which amateur golfers commonly make.

Thomas is one of the best golfers in the world, so any advice he has to offer should be grasped with both hands by any golfers out there who are looking to improve their games.

Over the past few months, Thomas has offered advice to amateur golfers looking to stop slicing the ball.

And recently, Thomas also provided tips to help everyday golfers increase their distance off the tee.

This time, the American Ryder Cup player has much simpler advice on offer for amateurs.

Interestingly, it has nothing to do with the technical side of the game…

Justin Thomas highlighted a mistake every amateur golfer makes

Thomas is well known for helping out amateur golfers as much as he can.

The 16-time PGA Tour winner has seen numerous amateur golfers struggle up close and personal.

When speaking to Panther National, Thomas was asked what is the biggest mistake he sees amateurs make on the golf course.

“Hit more club, hands down,” he said. “No amateur ever hits enough club. They are just infatuated with that 7-iron that they one time hit 180 yards with all that roll, and every time they are 180 yards they hit a 7-iron. I’m like ‘Guys, no offense, you are not good enough to be hitting the wrong club every time. You need to at least do yourself a favor.’”

The problem most amateurs face is that, like Thomas said, they may hit a seven-iron one time 180 yards but they forget their ball rolled 30 yards to get to that distance.

In the modern game, certainly in the United States, it’s all about the carry distance now and amateur golfers need to get up to speed with exactly how far they fly the ball through the air, if they really want to improve.

Amateur golfers mistake highlighted by Justin Thomas is so easy to fix

Are you an amateur golfer who is growing tired of continually coming up short?

The good news is that there is an incredibly easy fix.

You need to find a driving range or practice facility that offers Trackman technology. Hit 10 shots with every single one of your irons and work out the averaged carry distance of each one.

Then when you’re actually playing, have your carry distances written down somewhere in your bag and see if they marry up with how far you hit the ball on the golf course.

Usually, amateur golfers tend to under-club by at least one and more often than not, two clubs.

If you struggle getting your ball pin high, the fix is so simple. First understand your real carry distances and then put it into practice out on the golf course.
