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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
