Hello, I'm new on this forum, I'm 16 and hit in the 90's, In terms of my life I have started looking towards my future and I wondered whether its too late to knuckle down on my game and become a tour golfer, I know it's an optimistic thing but I just needed someone else's perspective on things. Many thanks

Before you get jumped.  Nobody knows this answer..  The truth is probably not a chance in the world.  We cannot offer you any perspective based on this post.  Just take a look at the site, there is a lot here that can help you improve.  Work on getting better, and have fun.  Don't worry about the rest right now.

To be at a world class at any sports these days requires that you start early (way before 16), you have the right resource (access to good coaches, money for training/equipment), and most importantly that God has smiled on you and gave you things that will set you apart (athleticism, physical superiority, hard work ethic, single minded determination, etc).  But by all means, if you think you have it all, go for it.

Take if for someone who trained since age 10 to be a world class athletic in a sport (not in golf).   It is hellishly difficult to become a world class athlete in any sport.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
