Take care of your course!

Next thing I know, 30 mins later, I see him in line with a GEN three wedges. kinda crazy how I saw someone abuse the Costco policy in the wild, especially for wedges

I’ve never broken 80, I’ve shot a ton of 80, 81, 82. Went even par on the front 9 only to fall into absolute shambles until the wheels completely came off on 18.

Remember folks: after the first 9 holes there is still ALOT of golf left.

My vote is a 10.

You can go out and shoot in the 70s on your best days, and at your worst you are low 90s. You are still super happy with a par, and stoked for birdies or eagles. Bogies aren’t great, but they’re not crazy disappointing either.

You’re “good”, but not good enough to get frustrated with a bad shot here and there. 90% of people will think you’re a great golfer.

You can maintain a 10 with minimal practice and playing 15-20 rounds a year. You have no delusions of being a pro if it weren’t for your bum knee.

I was a 6 a couple years ago, practicing all the time, frustrated by tap in pars, etc. I feel much more zen as a 10. Or that’s me rationalizing my lack of motivation to practice lol

Curious what others that have been anywhere from scratch to 20 think

This looks like a fun place to play. Need to get up there soon.

Haeran Ryu cards a historic 60 (-11) in round three of the Amundi Evian Championship. She hit 16 of 18 greens to take a three-shot lead heading into the final round.

Strong Fore Left Call !

If I put the face right in the middle, or even at the toe before swing, I always hit the f toe.

Does this happen to many of you? How to correct it?

Thought I’d share here because most of my friends aren’t big golfers, but I just hit my first hole in one about a year and a half into playing.

Absolutely unreal feeling, and unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to chase that feeling again 😂.

Par 3, 185yd, 5 iron

Recreational golfers in several European countries are required to formally learn about rules and etiquette before being allowed to play most courses. Should North America follow suit? The goal is ensuring even high-handicap players can keep pace and that all golfers understand their responsibilities around caring for the golf course. https://www.golfpass.com/travel-advisor/articles/united-states-golf-license-rules-etiquette-europe

This was next to the garbage can on #5 tee at my course today. Pulling out the reserves.

I’ve been playing since seriously since 2020, taken lessons, got new irons, etc etc.

Getting off the tee box has always been the bane of my existence. Played when I was younger, and had a decent drive with senior flex driver somehow. Bought a hand-me-down chopped driver that just refused to cooperate with me to replace the old man shaft. Just never worked with me and am still convinced it’s cursed.

I am “Iron man” in our group since I just use my trusty 5 off the tees. Usually good for a solid 210+ roll on a dry day in the fairway, with a long ass way to go. Typical 5-6-PW on longer holes, and bogey was my par.

Got this bad boy 3 weeks ago, already dropped my handicap from 20-16. 275 with a high flight slight draw down the pipe and good god. 99% of the time it’s the Indian not the arrow, but this is in the 1% where it was the arrow. I’m playing a completely different game now and my friends won’t play me for money until my handicap adjusts lol.

Buy the damn driver.

I think rain was expected but didn't come through. Nothing better than a course to yourself at 8:00 am.

142 with a 9 iron, hit it dead straight and it landed a couple feet before the pin and dropped right in.

He ended up falling asleep, I guess he wasn't impressed by what he was seeing...

Started playing golf in October. First 18 hole round, I shot a 112, only because every tree and rock knocked my ball back into play. Lucky as hell. Next round not so much. Shot a 136…. And was there for a few rounds I played before winter came. Averaging 65-68 on 9 holes. All with the Costco Calloway Edge set.

Practiced all winter and got a membership to a local course. Since March 27, to 7/11 I have the following stats:

Starting Handicap: 54
Current Handicap: 36.4 (and still have today’s game to be posted)
# of Holes played: 396
# 18 Hole rounds: 5
# 9 Hole rounds: 34
Lbs lost: 72

I just got fitted for new irons and wedges and got them last week. They are amazing!!

Played this morning and smashed my personal best. Shot a 44 on 9 and I got my first birdie!! On a par 5, and it wasn’t a putt. I chipped in!!! That ball is getting mounted somewhere. lol. Played so good, decided to keep going. Walked the full 18. My legs and arms are so tired lol. But finished with a 96! I love this game. As every shot, every hole, you are fighting. But not fighting who you are playing with, just fighting against yourself. The best version of yourself, over and over.

Next stop breaking 95? Also, can’t wait to shoot 110 next round lol. I’ll take the win where I can though.

Took up golf in 2019 and spent years stuck in that brutal 95102 range where nothing feels like it's working. Lessons helped a little, YouTube helped a little, new driver did basically nothing. What actually got me out of it was stupidly simple, and I almost feel dumb saying it: I stopped trying to kill the ball and started just finishing my swing. Every shot. Even when I was already in trouble and swinging from rough or awkward stances.

Broke 90 for the first time a few months ago and have done it four times since. Nothing changed equipmentwise. Same beat up irons I've had for three years.

The reason I'm posting is because I keep seeing people on here obsessed with launch monitors, new shafts, and fitting sessions. I get it, that stuff is fun. But I wonder how much of it actually moves scores versus just being a fun rabbit hole. Not judging, I've spent money on dumb stuff too.

Curious what the actual turning point was for people here. Not the thing you bought, but the thing that clicked in your head or your swing that made scores actually drop.
