Not easy conditions today, certainly down in Berkshire so that won't have helped scoring. You need to get it in play off the tee so a driving lesson will definitely be a good idea
How long did it take for you to break 100?

It certainly wasn't easy and that is what cost me the score, the last four holes were hard work as I was soaked through (decent waterproofs needed). Had three lessons so far, next one is on the tenth, hopefully will be on my woods and driver as we have not gone their yet.

I'm still looking to break 100.
Started playing at the start of the year (not the best weather to start playing lol) and have had only 3 full rounds, 110-111-1, lose a lot of balls at the minute but think will stop soon I hope.
I'm having lessons so things are looking up.
Playing again next Wednesday so maybe that will be the round 😀.

At the course I am at now I have yet to break 100 of the White tees in comps but have done it off the yellows. This year is the year I will do it and I intend to get down to 18 from 24😊

thats a great start, I played earlier in the week and after 6 was 8 over - then bang couldn't hit a ball to save my life. Something just clicked the wrong way, went for a lesson same thing happened it reminded me of when my 5yr old gets my clubs out it was that bad.

Sorry that's meant to be 110-111-110, playing again on Wednesday so I'm hoping to get even closer.
Anything below 105 will be great

Keep the faith. Started playing in July and decided to have an official handicap this year. Here are the rounds I've played this year. Randomly had a 96 out of nowhere!
playing there again tomorrow so hoping to break 100 again

Scored exactly 100 this afternoon in horrible windy conditions. Gutting because I had a 7 on the first hole (par 4) and a six on a par three.
Playing again tomorrow. Hopefully I have found a tee shot with my hybrids, played the last three holes off the floor (no tee) and hit the best three tee shots i've ever hit. Defiantly the way forward.

Don't be too hard on yourself. That's a good improvement and decent scoring in tricky sounding conditions and so you know it's there to be done. Go out and just play, course manage every time and don't try and force it. It will happen and once you get the monkey off the back you can aim for 95, then 90

I know i am being hard on myself, I Just feel that the golfing world will open up for me once I have achieved it. I know I will it do it once the weather improves so can not wait.

I hit 109 on Saturday, but didn't feel as if I was too slow or a lot worse than the 15, 18 and 20 handicappers I played with.
Patience. It will come and then you can focus on 90

Me to. As I previously said I played with a 20, 21 & 24 handicapper and thought In have nothing to be frightened of. Today I received and email to register for howdidido, I went to the results page of my club and was surprised by the scores (division 2), thinking everyone would be low 80's etc as I didn't really have a idea what to expect as I've never seen any golf results before.
After seeing this I don't think I am a million miles away now (the improvement in the last month has transformed my game) and if I could improve my accuracy from 100 yards and in I think I could play to 18 comfortably ( I might be completely wrong & if I am anyone reading this thinks I am on cloud cuckoo land then please say
)Can't wait to get that feeling of playing with a card in my hand and then going to pieces in my first comps

If you can putt and chip you should be able to break 100 just hitting decent enough shots up to 160.
Try that and see what happens

Course management is key to lower scores.

This. My score of a 100 came with a longest tee shot of 164 yards with a 5 iron.

Re: How did it take for you to break 100?
Well I have finally done it!!! I broke 100 with a 96 so so happy, to do it April has beaten my expectations!! Now to do it for real with a card in my hand with the pressure on.
Next target to break it consistently.
Hopefully will be doing my first card for my handicap on Wednesday, can't wait.
