i need bigger boxes on my scorecard

[confuciussaid]

If i'm scoring 120 on a par 64 eighteen hole course that has a total yardage of 4381 is it time to call it a day or is this normal for a beginner.

It was William Wroe in Flixton.

No it's not, it's time to take some lessons with a pro. Typical price £15.00 per half hour. You'll be playing better in no time.

Confucious He say - those who give up are wimps!!

Well maybe not but as above - get to your pro, have lessons. If you don't have some natural talent then doing it yourself won't work

 

[chipsandegg]

Totally agree with drawboy, youve got some exciting times to come. get some lessons and keep at it and your Handicap will plummet and you will be loving it. I started playing about 5 years ago and was shooting similair scores but I had a few lessons and everything started coming into place. Keep at it!!!

Yes, quite normal. Now get to the pro and get improving.

Well done that man for a great answer! Just keep working because unfortunately that golf bug will not let you go.

Book a series of 5-6 lessons (most pros do discounts on block bookings) and get the basics sorted out. Once you have the fundamentals in place, try and work on them down the range so that when you get on a course it feels more atural and you can swing away without thinking too much about what you should be doing.

Once you've had the lessons and start hitting it well the game will really open up for you and you'll be smitten

Is anything in golf normal?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Define normal!

 

[Herbie]

Some people take to golf like ducks to water and reach standards up to single figure h/c very quickly, others take time to learn to play, some take a long time to get out of the starting blocks then when they do their rise in performance is rapid. So many different types in golf so dont worry about your humble beginings, just keep trying, get a lesson or two but dont give up. There is a day waiting for you when you will wonder what all the fuss was, but you wont see that day if you give up.

Just the tonic I needed boys!

My game has stagnated recently, shooting high scores (admittedly not as high as the OP and on a longer course too.)
I prefer to put my poor performance down to lack of practise. I also keep telling myself to get a few lessons which never materialises.

I've played a few comps at my course (and others) this season and have written off this season in ways of improvement.
My aim throughout the closed season is to still play but not as much, preferring to utilise much of my golf time to practising.

Good idea????

i shot 123 at william wroe during my first ever round, just over 2 years ago. im now on the verge of breaking 90 there, so stick at it!

I picked up a club for the first time in May this year, and started shooting 130's, then 120's then 110's and now average 100-106.
I guess like any high handicapper, I can hit a great drive, approach, chip and even a 25 foot put! Unfortunateley these shots seldom occur on the same hole....
I take the most consolation from seeing Tiger and the like driving into trees and missing from 3 feet!
