and almost broke 80! So, I've been practicing almost 7 days a week for about 3 months now and had not put a complete round together until yesterday. i went out and shot 39-41 for an 80! I had a 10 foot put on 18 for a 79 that I left 2 inches short! Just thought I would share my happiness with everyone

If your a 15, shouldn't you have broken 80 before? Regardless, congrats.

I don't really keep track of my handicap. Just put a number there when I signed up. Guess I should start though...

80? Maybe not. I've been as low as 16.3, but never broke 85, even on "easy" courses.

To the OP: congratulations! Practice paid off, I see.

I'm assuming you meant finally broke 90? I've only broken 80 maybe six or seven times...although they were pretty low with a few 75's and 77's. But still, that was on a pretty easy course and I'm a 10 handicap.

I currently have similar aspirations. That must've felt quite good.

Congrats. Nice work.

Great job. Those of you guessing at your handicap are likely guessing high. It is not the average of your scores. It is weighted to your best scores of the last 20 and it is based on the difficulty of the course. My handicap is 17 and I am happy to shoot 90, more likely my score is higher.

Congrats! You're on your way to some great scores if your first round in the 80s was an80.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
