How do i beat my brother at golf without cheating?

He's about 10 or 12 shots better than me,he very rarely gives me any shots at the start of the round.He is the most competitive person i know.Is there any way i can get into his mind set and beat him. I know the simple answer is play better,but when i get ahead i buckle under the pressure!! lol

Know the Rules of Golf. There are so many rules and some of them are not common knowledge. The consequences for breaking the rules can be pretty steep too....from a penalty of a stroke or two all the way to disqualification. If you want to win without cheating, you should make sure that he is not cheating either.

You may also consider playing Match Play. Score is kept based on who wins the hole rather than on total strokes. In this form of play, having one bad hole won't put you too far behind.

Practice more. You buckle under pressure because you don't have enough golf under you.

Really want to get into his head? Practice and improve. Trust me he'll notice and that's a mind game enough.
soak his grips in crisco the night before. I guarantee a win.

But honestly, spend most of your time on and around the practice green. Putting and chipping can make up easily 6-10 shots per round. Also, while at the range, use the first half of a bucket and just swing 75 percent and work on solid contact just to get the feal of a crisp shot. Then incorporate your full swing, you should start hitting the ball a lot more flush.

However, the short term fix, I'm afraid is either crisco, or take a couple of spikes out of his shoes. Ha ha, play dirty, it's more fun against an over competitive brother.
practice in secret, then wow him with your talent
Work on your mental and physical game. you will not beat him without practice.

if he was like my older brother they will play as much head games as possible. if you can play good golf while he trying headgames then he is in some trouble. the thing with pysching people out is they do it because they know they cant beat you. when someone tries to get into my head, i know i got them where i want them.

10 to 12 strokes? well i can help you shave 6-8 strokes off of your game. your "Short Game"

Walter Hagen who played in the 1920s was one who had more bad shots in a round then people do in a week. one of his best quotes was 3 lousy shots and 1 brilliant one still makes par.

that is refering to putting and chipping. if you are serious about beating your brother then you better start practicing putting and chipping 1-2 hours daily. whats better to get into their head this constantly missing greens only to chip it 3 feet from the hole?

remember putter is the one club you use on every hole(with the exception of chipping in)

why bang drivers all day on the range when you can practice putting? have you ever hit a great drive and a great 2nd shot only to 3 putt on the green? thats where those unessesary strokes come from.

more putts you make the more you will save pars and drain birdies.

you improve your putting i guarentee you that you will make up 6+ strokes a round.
I once worked with the National Schoolboy Golf Champion .....and asked him the same question.

He told me that on the Finals , he played the best player he had ever seen.....and who had an amazing swing........and was trying to frighten my mate , with how good it was and how crisp and clear it looked.

My mate went over to him and said "Your swing looks a little off today !" haha !

The man with the best swing in the world , couldn't hit a straight ball all day.....and my mate won , the competition , with a record high ! haha !
You need to find a way to get under his skin and annoy him when your winning act like it's really easy and try to look as smug as possible i always find this helps it works with my brother.
