Home course hero

[2920]

Hi guys

Im looking for some help with my game, or at least some input from you.

I have been able to become a 7-handicapper, since I started playing golf 20 month ago. It been an amazing and fun journey and I have invested the hours as well. I dont have a certain strength (like a super long drive for instance), but I have a nice and decent swing and I consider myself all round player.

Okay, so far so good. Here is the issue: Im a home course hero - meaning my handicap is made from rounds on my home course. When I play my home course, I kill it, but every time I play on other courses, it kills me

It bothers me and I know it is a mental thing, but still it is weird. How can there be 15-20 shots difference ?

I guess it maybe has something to do with my fast development - like I need to grow mentally as well, but what is your input ?

Have you heard about this before - any ideas how move along ?

If there is a 15 to 20 shot difference...im going to wager a guess and say your not turning those scores in for your hdcp. You should. As far as the problem...see a pga pro. I have played TPC courses and not shot 15 shots over my index. Something doesn't add up. Keep in mind...i suck and openly admit it.

If they aren't in his top ten and he doesn't play other courses much then it probably isn't affecting his hdcp..

Are you hitting the ball differently at different courses? Are you more nervous when you play? You might just know how to play your home course and know how the greens break well. I know that playing different courses in my area means a pretty big difference in green stinting so sometimes the first 3 or 5 holes are not quite my best putitng holes. 15 strokes sounds like it could be nerves though

15-20?!? Man, I don't know. I can understand a 5-6 stroke swing, but that sounds almost like a statistically impossible disparity. Only advice I can think of is to stay away from your home course for a while, see if things start to straighten out some.

CHeck out the difference in slope/rating between your home course and the others you play. If your home course has a 113 slope and the others are over 130, that could be part of your disparity. If your home course has little sand, water, trees and the others do, it is logical that you won't shoot as low. But 15-20 strokes sounds way too much. By your handicap listing, you shoot low 80's at home and 95-100 away. That's way outside the norm.
