Ok, so i am extremely confused. I have played golf a total of 7 times. the first time i played I shot a 111. It leaves me completely shocked that in the 6th time I shot a 90, I went out today and shot an 86. I dont really understand how i am progressing at this pace. I am hoping i can stay in this range and do not fall back down to a 95 or so. How consistent do i need to be before i entering a tournament a tournament.

ok, thanks for clarifying that first post. in my experience, kids seem to be more apt at learning things than adults. i'd suggest starting lessons from a proper golf professional at your age. it shouldn't be too expensive cause all the pro's i know of give good youth rates. so see what your parents would think about that. you should see if a course in your area offers a weekend workshop for youth where you learn about putting, short game, etc. as well. you could also look to see if there is a ''first tee'' program in your area. but it seems as though you're progressing well. keep it up, and don't put too much pressure on yourself to succeed what you've already accomplished. it seems you've got the skill, just keep it up. and if you do the right things, golf really isn't that hard a game to play. good luck.

I don't see any reason to wait for consistency before entering a tournament. If it feels right, then do it. It's good experience if nothing else.

I agree. If people waited for things to feel right before jumping in with both feet, they wouldn't have that big parade every year in SF.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow..
