I've been battling back from a long spell of only playing a couple times per year and not being able to break 110, and I've really started to see some improvement. It's been alot of work this summer, but definitely worth it. I hadn't carded a birdie in over 5 years, and got a 2 on a 148 yard par 3 this past weekend. It felt awesome to finally see things happening the way I visualized them. It was a 9 iron to about 10 feet, and I was pretty elated when the putt dropped.

Of course, I blew up for a 7 on the next hole, but hey, that's golf.

Yea your the same as me..I get about 100-120 My best so far is only 103 But i only started golf this year. ( I played before when i was 10-11 but i was as intertsted as i am now.)

Ive never had a birdie..but i only have been to 4 courses ( 4 nine holers)

But well done. Whenever i get a par i jump alot. Wonder what its like to get par.

Im only 13 so i hope i break 100 in a year maybe .

Anyways Congrats

Cool! I'm still looking for my first par (I've come close) and get pretty excited over a bogey. Congrats on your birdie and many more.

    • 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?
