I have been begging at the feet of par this whole year just to let me get there but have not yet got there. I have shot about 4 or 5 37's this year (par 36) many 38' and 39's but can't get to par! I got close today with 3 birdies 2 bogeys and a double and was putting great. Seems like every time I get a lot of birdies along comes one bad hole also.

So just wondering if others have had this much problem with getting or breaking par and also if it is abnormal for a 7 handicap to not shot even par yet.

After a bad tee shot it does not mean the hole is over, it means you have an opportunity to show what you are made of!

Try doing it for 18. A par 9 is not a par round.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

You're a 7hc and never shot even par for 9 holes?

IMO....it'll happen soon.  Just make 1-2 bogeys & 1-2 birdies and avoid disasters in between and you're there....good luck!!

lol it is hard to stop thinking about it and when I am on the course I do my best to just focus on that shot but at the end i still found i could not break par. I do hope soon though so I can work on 18 par.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
