I am a police officer in a city south of Boston, 6 years so far. I work the midnight shift to give myself more time for golfing, although it doesn’t always work out as planned haha.

Hi there everyone. I am an Aussie stranded on the African Island of Mauritius. Been here for 2 years now and its not a bad place to live. I work for Starwood Hotels and Resorts. We have some beautiful golf courses here but not a single golf shop which is extremely frustrating as I am trying to upgrade my 11 year old Powerbilt Grand Slams. If anyone is ever thinking about heading over here, I would be more than happy to organise a game of golf (so long as I can play as well) - am also brand new to this forum!!

I'm an assistant golf pro at a public/private course in southern Mass. i'm working through my pga apprenticeship and will hopefully be a club pro in the next year to year and half. i'm at the course about 80 hours (but that includes playing 5 days) a week over 6 days. i have saturdays off so i can play in the local tourneys. lots of work, but it will all be worth it in the end.

I am a commercial photographer who specializes in photographing golf courses. Tough job but somebody has to do it. Actually it's not an easy way to make a living and it's frustrating getting to see a lot of great courses but not having the time to play them, but I must say, I really enjoy the work.

I work for the Veterans Administration after retiring for the US Army. Just started golfing and this will be my 3rd year.

I just can't get enough of the game. I come by here a few times a week.

Working as a doctor in a small country town... just for 6 months.
Great thing is membership at the local golf course (which I have been told Vijay Singh once played on a few years ago in the yearly Pro comp) is an amazing $150!!
Good time to get back in to golf... seriously this time.

      Struggling With Volatility

      By WagonWheel · Posted

      Interested to hear from those who have gone through something similar. I'm currently around a 9 handicap and have logged 50 rounds so far this year. My issue isn't really my handicap itself, it's the amount of score variation. Looking back through the year, I've had scores ranging from 73 to 95, with everything in between. Within the last week alone I went: 92 - 74 - 80 - 89 - 93. I appreciate there is always a variance to scoring and that is fine but I seem to have the issue of being capable of a mid to low 70's round and then the next day adding 20 shots onto that. Others I know around my handicap, they seem to live in the low-mid 80s and occasionally shoot high 70s. In contrast, I seem to have a very high ceiling and a very low floor. My goal is to get to 5 but I feel a million miles away from that at the moment. I have had periods of lessons where I have got better but that baseline level never seems to have improved and the only sort of logical conclusion I can come to is because my fundamental ball striking and clubface control is not good enough. Over the years I've been through the usual cycle of swing thoughts and feels. Something works for a few rounds and then it disappears. This latest episode involved a "looser arms, smoother swing" feel which coincided with some good golf before scores drifted back upwards this week. The more I look at my scoring record, the more I wonder whether the answer is much simpler. Perhaps score volatility is ultimately just a reflection of strike and clubface variability. If strike and face control vary significantly from day to day, then perhaps 74 one week and 93 the next shouldn't be surprising. So my questions are: Has anyone else experienced this sort of variance? Did you eventually become more consistent, and if so, how? Was it primarily technical, mental, course management, practice-related, or something else? Did you manage to raise your floor, or are some golfers simply naturally more volatile than others? Interested to hear from anyone who has gone from being a "74 or 94" golfer to someone who lives in the 70s and low 80s.
