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!!

It'll happen when you stop thinking about it so much... I shot even par on the back a couple weeks ago... it was awesome!

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.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.

      By pganapathy ·

      I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws

      I've played the Tour in both white and yellow.  They play well and seem to hold up pretty good even when running into trees or cart paths.  Right now, I've been trying them against the Bridgestone Tour B RX ball and I really like both.  The Snell 3.0 looks to be a great update to the issues Snell was running into with the previous generation.
