Golf is a wonerful game but there are times when we love it and there are times when we hate it. We go to the golf course and hit a bad shot and the good players know how to shake that off and go hit their next. we all have our good rounds and our bad rounds. but i wonder sometimes, why am I so inconsistent with my scores. my last few rounds were 83, 73, 64, 76, and 84.

why is it some days i 3 putt a lot and others all my putts go in? why is it some days im hitting every green but others i barely hit 3? some days i hit a natural fade. but others i hit a natural draw?

I am a really good golfer and im only 18 i want to be a pro but first i really need to learn how to be consitent.

Hi there I am 15 and you are a better golfer than I am. However I always mark down stats like fairways hit in regulation, greens in reg. and putts. I have a general feel of how many greens I should be hitting on an AVERAGE day. For me I can't dwell on hitting 3 less greens than when I shot my best round of my life. But if you really are playing significantly worse than a normal day take a breath and relax. Don't try to go for the "shot of the year". Don't try to sink 20 foot Downhill putts. Be smart and don't make a "Bogey" a Triple Bogey because you tried to hit a green from 240 out in the rough. In my opinion it's all game management, so far it's helpe me become more consistent. I hope you reach your goal of becoming a pro and thanks for reading my advice! good luck and let us know how you do!

    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
