I am 16 and I am off a 15 HDCP at the moment but have just finished my exams. I have ten weeks off and I will be trying to play as much golf as possible. I really want to get to single figures and am willing to work hard for it. Does anyone have any advice on how to do it, past experience, practice drills, where to dedicate time? Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks you sososososososososos much Pretzel! :-)

Guys thanks for all the input! I will hopefully be able to get a job! honestly guys much appreciated.

Hello I am 15 years old and I thought to myself why not do something I love for a little bit of money? What I want to know is do you think I could get a job at a golf course? What would any of the jobs entail? E.g. Pro shop, green staff, waiter, anything... And I was considering working for a few hours and then playing golf afterwards? If I did this most days afterwards would I become a decent golfer? I am looking for consistency at the moment and am off a handicap. Of 25! Any answers much appreciated! Thanks :-)

Thanks for all the replies but I think now I should just play the game and not look like an idiot! Thanks guys

Honestly I respect the game! I have better ettiquete than the majority of the other juniors but I just want a few tips as golf is mostly mental game! I wouldn't be trash talking just dropping little bombs through the round! Nothing malicious!

Yes but what is the harm? And it can come in use when for example they are one ahead with one left! I do concentrate on my own game but why not?

Any stories on how long it took people to get down to below ten? How long? How much practice? What practice? Top tips?

How can you get into a players head? :-P

There is this guy at my golf club who is a friend but he is so annoying with no etiquette! He won't repair pitch marks on the green he will just stand on them, he thinks he is so long and waits for ages before hitting "just in case" when he will never reach, he hands out a tip "like practice 1ft putts and them he will go and miss two in a row! I have also caught him cheating a while back! Any advice on how to deal with this? I want to remain friends and not get him into trouble

From about 100 yes I use my pitching wedge initial about 60 yds when I choke down on my sand wedge and play a pitch shot! They come off most times and are low risk unlike the lob wedge which is quick easy to shank"

Ok thanks! So say if I practice fr half an hour a day putting and half an hour chipping at a minimum how long would it take to see results! Thanks for all the response :-)

Thank you

Thanks! Good comment made there :)

Much appreciated

Thanks so much Ernest

Thanks :-)

I am a junior off 27! Any tips? :-)

How much practice and what practice?

Anyone know any good drills for the short game for a rapid improvement?

27

Thanks everyone! I will try to do this! If I do how long do you think it will take me to reduce my handicap! Btw thanks for all the great replies so far :)

Thanks so much:-)

Thank you :-D

I am a junior and there is a range nearby! If I went everyday and practiced for an hour or two would I see an improvement? I have been stuck at this handicap for a long time and have had some lessons! The lessons have really helped but would practicing everyday be the way to go? Please reply! Thank you! (Any other advice would be much appreciated) :-)
