okay so I'm pretty new to golf, i started around march. at first it was just some to add to my Resume to look good for college going to my last year of High School. the more i played the more I enjoyed the game the whole style of how things are done on the course drew me in to the point where I spent my spare time putting in my room now. So I went and got my mom to spring for clubs she got my some generic start set from texan(see sig) but more I was playing on my own time not just the team I wanted better so i got the clubs i have now.
well sorry for the useless rant let me get to my problem

straight to the point is im new to the game and I always expect more out of my self and it makes me lose my whole mind set, i just got back from one of my hs matches i had a good drive a little slice put me behind 2 trees so from their i tried getting it out i hit the tree no biggie in short ruff next to the fairway then i took a fat shot then got it on next to the green then from their i fell apart i was no more then 10 yards off the green and then i put it over the green with no flight so i knew i messed up kinda beat my self up then got it on the green then 3 putted then the rest of my game was crap besides a par 3 where i bogey'ed which was a luck i feel lol.
so anyway i need some tips to get me back in the zone so i can get past the bad shots i hit

PS sorry for grammar errors. lol

i guess they don't teach punctuation in your high school...


its real simple. take some lessons. It sounds like you could use some guidance in all of your basic fundamentals.


shot 1. slice drive behind trees.
shot 2. hit a tree.
shot 3. fat iron.
then...fall apart?
shot 4. hit a flyer with wedge.
shot 5. get it on the green.
shot 6/7/8. putt putt putt

Good grammar makes the post more enjoyable to read. I won't even bother reading some of these posts as butchered as they are...

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
