Shot a 43 today, best 9 I've played. This is the first two months of playing golf seriously in my life so I am very pleased. It wasnt easy I made a lot of 10 foot putts and one was from the fringe (lucky) but hey I'll take that. My problem areas are my pitch shots within 75 yards and chipping. Other than that, I think my game is looking pretty good!

Congrats on the good round.

congrats...you will likely shoot more personal bests going forward but don't be disappointed if it doesn't happen every time out.  Just take it one shot at a time...

43 in two months, congrats! I've been playing 14 years and I'm happy to get a 43 for 9-holes. And you know what, my short game is usually my problem too. I've been keeping detailed stats of my game and I found that I'm hitting an average of 50 out of 89 strokes within 50 yards (including putts) per round. I want to go see an instructor soon, but I want to focus on improving my short game, cause that has to be my best opportunity for improvement.

Fersman, I agree. My chipping is weak. I'm actually pretty solid with my putter, my speed today and lines were spot on. If I can't take a full swing on my approach shots I'm also pretty weak in that aspect. If I could sure those things up I could essentially cut 5 strokes or so off my rounds.

    • Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.
    • Day 234 4-11 Wrist arching and hips/chest in backswing. Really trying to hammer in the wrist arch, its such a  better swing when I do it correctly, its not in muscle memory yet. 
    • Day 557 - 2026-04-11 Got some work in after lessons. Backswing has to be shorter. Slightly cupped.
    • You know, I haven't followed much professional golf the past few years, and he wasn't the star of today's show, but I think I like this Sam Burns fellow.  I hope he plays well tomorrow.  
    • All of these missed fairways and the miraculous escapes followed by the seemingly reliable miracles suddenly stopping reminds me of another former Masters champion whose luck ran out on the 72nd hole of a major twenty years ago.
