I have shaved about 70 strokes off my game

[Golfing Dad]

I started playing golf a year ago with my son. When I started I was shooting about 85-88 shots per nine holes. Most of the time my goal was to get my tee shot past the women's tee box. I used my 4 iron for every shot after that except for putts. I actually once had a tee shot hit the rocks that designated the women's tees and fly into the air, go behind me, and land in the backyard of a house that is on a hill about 30 feet high.

Lately I have been hitting in the low 50's for 9. Yesterday I played and got a 51 (tied for my personal best) on the front 9 and a 52 on the back 9. My goal is to get to the mid to high 40's by the end of summer.

I can't wait until I can hit in the low 80's/high 70's.

The very beginnings of this game are the most fun IMO. To see such dramatic improvement early is what keeps you coming back! Enjoy the big jumps when they come, they get farther and farther apart as you progress in the game.
