You know your game is improving when . . .

You know your game is improving when . . .

You're no longer the worst golfer on the course

Ad yours

[Kingkat1954]

You actually decide HOW to play a particular hole, and then DO IT!!!!!!!!!

maybe not 18 times, but more than just one

[Mac62]

- You don't need 20 balls in your bag to get through a round.

- You can aim for (and hit reasonably close to) a particular spot instead of praying that your ball just ends up somewhere in play.

- You're finishing holes in ESC or under rather than picking up halfway down the fairway.

- You feel like you can play with strangers without embarrassing yourself.

- Your ball retriever is no longer the most used implement in your bag.

When you drive onto the fairway you're actually playing more often rather than the fairway next to yours

[David L Yskes]

when you can start a round and finish the round without loosing a ball

[Moppy]

When you are no longer shocked that you made bogie.

[Jeremie Boop]

When you have more good ballstrikes than bad ballstrikes, regardless of the score carded.

[Moppy]

When stupid decisions started costing me more strokes than bad ball striking.

[acetoolguy]

I pull out a new ball because my old one is scuffed, not lost.

[bm85]

You don't feel like you owe anything to the guy they named the Mulligan after.

When I don't play a Titleist off the tee and Nike out of the rough ... When laying up a par 3 is no longer part of my course management strategy ... When roofing companies stop calling to ask what course I am playing that weekend so they can distribute flyers ...

[rcwkent]

Start tending the pin for your group more, cuz your ball is not always the furthest from the hole or the only one off the green.

[Yukari]

when you don't need to pull out the driver every time on par 4's or 5's.

[The Recreational Golfer]

You play a course you haven't been to in years and shoot a better score than you ever did without working hard at all to do it.

[MrDC]

After my worst round of the season yesterday I'm tempted to start a thread "You know your game is declining when.." but I'll stay away from that.

You know your game is improving when you don't get nervous on the first tee with others watching.

[dave s]

When you no longer dig through the bag for a 'water ball' before hitting over the lake on #15.

A round of golf is now 18 holes instead of 9.

You get to drive the cart.

Your skins game 'donation' finally pays off.

Playing partners no longer take cover behind large trees and carts when you address the ball

I no longer have the highest handicap index in my club.
