Hey guys! I have been playing for about 3 1/2 months. When I started shot a 147 I have improved A LOT! Last 5 times ive golfed I have shot a 100, 99, 97, 92, and 87.. but today I had a terrible day! Shot a 116! How often do you guys get these? Any tips on bouncing back? Thx.. Also got a new cleveland 60 degree wedge and I had a hard time adjusting to it. Chunking a lot of the shots.

The longer you play the more narrow the gap between the good rounds and the bad rounds will get. Pretty normal for somebody playing a few months to have a big gap between the two.

Keep working on your swing and ball striking.

I would leave the 60 in the bag unless it's necessary...Or better yet leave it at home so you won't be tempted to use it.

But that's just my opinion.

I agree with @MS256 .  The more you play, the more consistent you get.

As for the 60, I play with a 58.  60 degree can be tough to handle if you are just starting out.  Check out this thread and practice this.

You have to be disciplined with a 60* As I have learnt, you want to hit them flops from everywhere but you should restrict to only when nothing else will do, if your breaking 100 occasionally after 3 months your doing just fine!!! Just remember 1 safety shot is better than to 2 bad shots!

I am a 4 and I still leave my 60 at home. I replaced it with a 18 degree hybrid which helped my with my gap between my 3 iron and 3 wood. I will only bring out my 60 when I know the green side bunkers have very firm or shallow sand. My 60 has less bounce than my 56, and let's me get under the ball. For a beginner, I would just practice with 2 clubs around the greens: 54-56 degree and a 9 iron. Keep it simple without trying to be too cute. For shots around 20-40 yards, I would just choke down on a PW. The more you practice these shots, the confidence comes next. I still get nervous looking down at my 60 from 20-40 yards out. Finally, it comes down to course management, if you struggle at a certain distance, don't leave yourself with that distance.

What's in my bag... Driver: Taylormade Aero Burner TP (10.5 degree) Fujikura Speeder 6.2 V.C. X-stiff 3-wood: Taylormade RBZ (15 degree) Hybrid: PING i15 (20 degree) Irons: PING S55 (4-W) with DG x100 Wedges: PING Tour s (50, 54 and 60 degree) Putter: Scotty Cameron Select Newport 1.5

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
