Hello I am a 21 year old who plays golf, I play to a scratch handicap and am looking to take my game to the next level. Im not quite sure what this means though. maybe apply to a college, maybe try to get onto some sort of tour. Im just not quite sure and I would like some direction/feedback. I just want to improve and will be totally dedicated to this if given the opportunity. Also, if you can help me out, please do!

Find a good teaching pro who has had success with competive golfers who have a similar game to yours. Seek feedback on your strength and weaknesses from same. Compete in high level amateur events. Consider college if you are commited to gaining a degree, not to improve your golf. If you can't beat the top amateurs in your area first you are setting yourself up to fail. The best are not the best because of great golf skills they are also the best competitiors on the course.

I have competed against the top amateurs around and won, I have won my club championship and invitational. Posted top 10 finishes in the top amateur tournaments around where I play. I am going to really focus on the tournaments I am entered into this season. Some serious mental and physical training is in order.

Read The Short Game Bible by Dave Pelz. It may or may not improve your short game per se but there is more important information in there. The first hundred pages or so deal with his work with improving such players games such as Tom Kite to name one. Many of the information is keeping stats of your game, making a spreadsheet and finding out specific areas you need to work on. For example, you may find out that your sand save percentage is less than 1/3 of the time. That could help you target specific areas that may be able to take people from great amatuers to a level greater than that. Hope it helps, might cost $35 at your local bookstore but will help drastically.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
