Started a few months ago, I was playing to about a 20+ handicap with a mulligan or two.

I learned how to actually hold a golf club, bought a new set of irons that fit me, learned how to hit a few wedges, and practice putting every now and then instead of never.

I practiced on the range for about a month, and on my first round of the year I shot 84. Just got off the course and shot a 40 on 9 holes.

I still fell like I leave at least 12-14 shots on the course due to plain dumb decision making or shanked shots. I had 18 putts on the last 9 hole round.
I hit about 40% of the greens, but never left myself a chance as I was putting from long distance each time I had a birdie putt.

I think what has really helped is getting rid of the blow up holes. I haven't been out of bounds in months, and I haven't lost a ball in 4 rounds.

I hope to break 80 by the end of the year. My handicap is currently 11.7, but that doesn't really count since I have only played 5 rounds this year.

Sounds like you are really improving. Youre just at the point where you have to practice the short-mid game and you will start putting the ball closer and closer to the pin, leaving you with shorter putts and more birdies.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
