I just started golf like 2 months ago and I have been bitten by the game I love it. My worst score has been a 95 and that was the first time I played to last night shooting an 83. Then tonight was my 10th round of golf and on the front nine i shot a 39... right when i went to start the 10th hole... thunder and lighting came around so i had to stop. I felt really good tonight. I just started buying new equipment. I had a set of acuity dicks clubs, i replaced the driver with a brand new callaway 460 9 loft... and replaced the putter with a NFX odyssey 2 ball putter... and now I am trying to replace my irons, which are the best part of my game with a set of real irons compared to these crappy ones. I love this game, I could do it every day. In high school, I hated it, I was 1st team all state in football baseball and wrestling and I actually have a d1 scholarship to uva for wrestling... and since i am not allowed to play any other sports i decided to pick this game up these past couple months and its a lot of fun.

You probably shouldnt mention that you broke 100 quickly. Some of the jelous ones on this board will give you negative rep because of it.

I didn't mean anything by it, I was just excited and wanted people to know how I felt. So I am sorry to those who take it the wrong way.

Wow! Thats amazing! A JV golfer played his 10th round a few weeks ago, and shot a 72... on 9! Ouch. Heres a good saying that is applying to you, "When the Tiger is away, the prey comes out to play"! Again, congrats on the amazing scores!

Thats nice game you have there. Today I just played my 9th round myself and I shot a 83 myself which is a huge improvement when two weeks ago I shot over 100. If I can get down like you I'd really feel like I'm on the right path to improving my game. Congrats and also I know that feeling you get after shooting a good round of golf I almost bought a new complete set of clubs. : >

Im hoping that as in tenth round, for all of you, you mean in a year? You didnt just start out, and are breaking 80 after 10 rounds. right? Ive been playing for 6 years, and shoot 84 on average.

just be sure that you are counting all your strokes and not cheating yourself,remember you can be as good as Tiger with your scorecard but it will not help you improve your game.

yea when people tell me what they shoot and ive never played with them i usually dont believe it. A kid i work with started golf about 2 months ago and took a couple lessons and practiced for a while. So when i see him come in from his round i always ask him what he shot and he is always like 39 or 42. So i just say nice round. Now when we got out to play he shoots 62 on 9. Yet he still says he just had a bad day and that he has shot 78 before. He is just lying to himself haha.

You must have god given talent. Enjoy and keep us updated on your progress.

Remember:

practice, practice and practice!

putting , chipping, pitching, 20 yards, 30 yards, 40 yards 50 yards from the pin.

The more you practice the short game the faster you will lower your score and be more consistent.

85% time spent on the short game.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
