I am 30 years old, and have been golfing only a year. I thought I have been improving until my last two rounds. I only play 9 holes at a time, and am lucky to be able to get to the range once a week, and lucky to be able to play every other week.
Last year I was always in the 60s, (yes for 9 holes), and this year I started right where I left off with last year. My last 4 scores were 54, 51, 59, 59. See how I thought I was improving, and then BAM! Wake up call!
I don't know what to do, I love the game, but I just don't know how to improve. One thing that I like to do is hit some balls before I play, but only one course around here has a range at it. If I don't get to hit before I play, I think it gets in my head.
My trouble today was being able to hit well out of the rough, I just couldn't. If I am using the correct terminology, I think most of my shots from the rough were hit fat. I would take a pretty good size divot, and the ball would go about 100 yards.
If you understood my rambling, any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
