Hi sandy, They normally shoot in the 70s, yes I do enjoy playing each time. But certain days when nothing is going right. Every self positive talk doesn’t seem work and watching my friends shot scores doesn’t help either. Hahaha but then again they have been playing for years and play everyday. So I don’t compare myself to them.

yes the course I play is quite narrow and keeping the driver in play is a must. surrounded by water hazards and bunkers. miss the fairway and its an easy double minimum and the par 3s are the most absolute score killer.

Yes they do have the white tees which is 70.1/142 playing at 6130 yards. But I have never played from them because my playing partners all play from the blues. There is a another course I play within the same club and that is even more of a monster I have never break 90 there rating 74.7/150 playing at 7015 yards. thank you for the info!

Hi, what is a considered a hard golf course rating? The course I normally play is on a rating 72.8/149 and course yardage is 6711. I struggle to break 90 and only manage to do it twice 89 and a 87. I am not a long hitter and average between 230-240 drives. My average scores are in the mid 90s and its been my mission to break 90 consistently. I have been trying to break 90 for the last 10 games and only manage to hit 91. It is so frustrating and I feel depressed playing this golf course.

Yes I always struggle with par 3 tend to hit it hard and often ends with a pull or a hook. I will sure practice on smooth swings. Thank you for the recommendation on the book. Will check it out !

hahaha yeah I think I should. I guess I have to practice even harder now. thank you for the advice.

yes I do admit I aim at the flag 90 percent of the time. The par3s are hard and the sand bunkers are like beach sand. Ok ill practice those shots are the range. thank you! when I do tell my friends to move up the tees they ask me to wear a skirt. I can shoot in the high 80s at my home course regularly that is a course 70.1/127. But I have none of my friends that are able to play there and its only exclusive to members only due to the golf craze and covid situation here. So the only course I can play is their home course which allows guest.

Hi RickK, I do keep stats on my game. I normally play bogey golf and I tend to miss green a lot. Its normally green side I would have to chip and 1 putt to make par. The course I play I think its rather long playing at 6,700 yards. Rating 72.8/149 and Im not a big hitter. My average drives around 200-220m if I hit it good. I try to play it safe by avoiding hazard off the tee but just sometimes the ball just finds it way there. and my weakness is def a meltdown after hitting triples or doubles in a row. my average scores are in the mid 90s and best score 86.

Hi, I normally play match play. I do admit I get nervous when I’m up winning and there are 3 more holes left and I would some how manage to either find the water or OB the tee shot. The course I play are surrounded by trees and water. So tee off accuracy is a must. Certain days I can drive really well and some days I just can’t hit the driver at all. It could be a slice one day and a hook the other day. My game is so inconsistent. If the driver is working the irons are not and so is the opposite. I tend to waste alot of strokes on par 3s. Make doubles. All the par 3 are about 160-170meter with water hazard or really high bunkers. You have to carry the ball a minimum 150meter to clear the water and I do get nervous.

Thank you!

Hi, I am new to this forum and this will be my first ever post. I started golf 2 years ago and currently playing on a 15.4 handicap. I spend so much money and time practicing and playing. I love the game but sometimes I just get really annoyed after a lousy day at golf. In the group that I play with everyone is between 3-6 handicap and I can never win them even if they were to give me strokes. I get tease all the time when Im last in the group and I am sick of losing. My goal is just to beat them each time but I feel I'm not getting anywhere with my game. I need some help or advice. Thank you.
