Only one at a time for me t date but I had 3 in 1 round which Im pretty proud of as a 20.0 handicap beginner. shot 85 that day :(

No i handed my first three cards that i played with my friend who is a member in and was given a handicap of 20.0 but I play better than the cards that I handed in now as I had only been playing properly for a few weeks at the time so im getting better pretty quick. I agree and anticipate hitting a wall with my fast improvements and that around the 10-15 handicap mark I may hit a wall but I practice a lot and work shifts so get plenty of time to do so and ill keep trying to improve and see what happens. I feel that if I can cut out my silly mistakes that will help a lot but im guessing that is everyone's problem and if we didn't make mistakes we would all have a really low handicap but time will tell. cheers

Thanks for the reply and yes I'll try and mind my response when faced with the trolls/pointless replies.

What an idiot you are.

Hi, I'm new to golf, I'm 26, I played a little while in school but never seriously, and recently started playing properly I have the bug and have been putting serious time into the game I've joined a private course and been given a handicap of 20.0. I have friends who play single figure handicaps, I've been playing less than 3 months and my best score has been +15 I've scored this twice and I've had 3 birdies in a single round and 8 pars in a separate single round, I can par all the SI 1 holes on the courses I've played and I've set a goal of 15.0 by the end of the year and 5 or better by the end of next year. Are my goals realistic and how high can I set my goals at my age without any serious history in golf can I become a scratch golfer and maybe turn pro or is this a myth that most new players get carries away with? Replies appreciated.
