I started playing golf last June and it's amazing how much I've grown as a golfer. On April the 1st I played Barren River State resort course in Kentucky, it has a slope rating of 140 and rating of 71.9 and plays 6,507 yards from the tips. I shot an 85 (that's counting every shot) I hit 11 fairways but only hit 6 greens in regulation. My game from 90-140 yards out was pretty good last fall but now it is really struggling I had two shanks from that distance and came up short several times. It seems like I've lost 20 yards on all my wedges. I need to work and improve on it because I have the distance off the tee and I have a decent short game therefore my scores should really improve if I can fix the wedge problems. Has anyone had these problems with their wedges? If so what did you to fix it?

How's your contact? You mentioned you shanked a few, but are the majority ball-first clean contact? If you're hitting fat, thin, topped, etc your distances will obviously be shorter. That's quite the improvement to get all the way down to an 8 in less than a year too, congrats
