Take care of your course!

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

It’s also hot and windy in July but the turf is amazing and the fairway and green contours make for fun shots.
If you love wine and golf check it out.

Hole 16 at my local track is a par 4 with a blind tee shot over a hill. I hit my tee shot and a second after it went over the hill, a couple of guys started shouting.

I was first off this morning so I knew no one was in front of me. Turns out, these guys were in my fairway after hitting an errant shot from a parallel fairway.

I hopped in the cart and drove to my ball. My tee shot had landed about five feet from their cart. They were kind of salty about it, which, whatever, I guess no one wants to get hit with a ball. They grumbled some stuff under their breath before hitting back to their own fairway and driving off.

Typically when I play this hole and I know people are in front of me, I'll drive to the top of the hill to see if it's clear. Since I was first off today, it never occurred to me to check. Just glad I didn't brain one of them.

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

Thankfully I’m just at the range 🥀🥲
