I have taken a bunch of lessons, watched a lot of YouTube videos, listen regularly to multiple golf podcasts, and practice very regularly. Yet I can’t seem to ever break 90.
I actually remain puzzled by it, because I feel like my short game is now decent and my putting very much improved. My irons are pretty good, though not long. And I drive it long.
I basically tend to have one bad shot per hole, and then you add that up, and it’s basically bogey golf or where I am— 90s.
i did play a 9 holes once this summer where I shot a 40. I realized during that round that my chipping was almost perfect. I chipped to within 4 feet or less a bunch of times, leaving 1-putts. I am guessing if I can up my short game to that level consistently, I can shave a lot of strokes off. But that is hard!
