Thank you for all the comments! I have been varsity on my hs golf team since I started golfing, the only reason is because I live in Wyoming and our rival school has all the golfers that are good. I am playing in my fall season right now and am currently 3 man. When I first started I got good very quick considering I had only played for a couple months before tryouts and shot low 90’s with the occasional high 80’s. It just feels as if I’m stuck right now.

Your rival school has all the good golfers? Good for you! You'll never get better playing against guys who are worse than you. You must compete against your betters, and still learn to play your own game! 

The game can come at you in stages. You can be a 15 handicapper and suddenly something clicks in, and you're an 11 or 12. But the better you get, the slower the improvement comes. Golf is not a game of perfect. You just have to keep after it, because it is ever elusive!
