Have 2k of fun money bonus available in September. Debating if I spend it on new equipment (woods are outdated and irons were never fit to me) or spend it on some lessons. I’m a 5 handicap and my goal is to get to a scratch. Have a free space to practice on track man In the winter as much as I want.

I’m a 15 and trying to get to a 12 this year and hoping to get into single digits next year. I went for a lesson with my pro. Striped 10 good shots and pro asked me what do you want me to fix 🤷🏼‍♂️. Needless to say I took the money I was going to spend on lessons and went and got fitted for new woods with the hope that’ll help keep me in my fairway a little more often. Now I’m impatiently waiting for my Titleist GT3 to arrive.

So if I were in your situation, go get fitted for new clubs. The practice is probably going to be the thing that gets you to scratch more than a lesson.

For a 5hc, clubs!

5 hcp getting to scratch requires basically neither. You’re a decent player, and so long as you don’t lack distance (ie you hit it at least 250 off the tee and have the length to reach all greens in regulation), then the only thing you need to do is become really good around the greens. You don’t go from a 5 to 0 index by making more birdies, it’s solely done by savings more pars and bogey/double avoidance. The goal should be to basically never make doubles.

Now, if you also regularly give shots back without swinging a club (balls in water, OB off tee) then you have to think about what you’re doing from a course mgmt perspective (don’t challenge the water) or try to find a more repeatable driver move so you’re always getting a tee ball in play.

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?
