Joined a club this year. Won the annual boys golf trip. Just found out I won Masters lottery. Golf tan is Epic. I am on a Heater.

Had spent past couple years hovering around 1-2 index and finally started working with swing coach again over winter and picked up a ton of distance and finally have a couple rounds under par this season and playing more tournament golf. Currently at +0.2 index

Congrats scratch golfer. Only in my dreams…..

Mine has been a wild ride, but finally making progress on my goal of getting to a 10 index and closing in on finally breaking 80 at my home course.

Started the year as a 13.9 index, peaked at a 15.4, and currently sitting at a career low of 12.3. Have had career rounds of 81 from the Whites and an 83 from the Blues (equivalent of an 80 from the Whites).

Progress update: took a tune up lesson a week before the Club Championship. Smashed both goals with a career weekend in route to winning my flight. Went 74/80 to finally break 80 and got hit with the Exceptional Score penalty to bring my index down to a 9.4

Still a couple of months of golf season, so it’ll be interesting to see how things go before having to hibernate for the winter.

Index went up until I figured out something on the 13th hole one Sunday morning. Been playing well since then and down to a 4.7 index.

Hopefully continue to play well throughout the rest of summer and fall. Feeling good though.

Shot 91 (horrible) and 82 (better) in Club Championship and then 82 in last week’s medal to get cut from 10.4 to 9.8. Objective is 9.4. Marginal gains. Need to be consistent and avoids the 90s. Struggling with that though. Thanks for asking and hope you’re enjoying your golf.

Overall I feel like I’m playing better and scoring more consistently but my handicap has gone up slightly. I’m avoiding blow up days and haven’t shot over 89 this year which is a first for me. Overall I’m really happy with the year so far.

My other golf goal was to walk more than I ride and I should cruise to that. I’ve walked 22 rounds, rode 7.

Not bad at all, I do more of walking when I don't play so well.
Help me think and relax. Riding, for days I'm not bothered.

Hey I'm late to the party but thought I'd contribute. I started year at 13.3, got down to 9.9, and then last week played a club competition not so well and back to 10.3 - my goal was to get to single digits. I've had good progress with lessons I'm taking but I need to improve my short game drastically. So I decided to buy a new putter, let's see!

like

Honestly I own like 6 or 7 putters that are always potential “gamers” and I go through phases. And I generally consider myself a pretty good putter but sometimes the real gamer needs a month in timeout.

Went from a 20 something index to shooting around a 12-13 now. I was down here a few years ago then I started messing around with my swing and got to bad habits. I took some lessons and back here again. If I can improve my iron consistency then we may have a chance to get into single digits next year.

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

I went birdie/par on holes 1 & 2 today. Instantly became delusional that I’m going to shoot under par for the round. Followed it up with two doubles and shot a 98. Humbling game. 😂

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?
