You'd be surprised. Hitting 30 balls doing a preshot routine, working on rhythm and balance can do a ton compared to hitting 100 in the same amount of time you hit those 30.

agreed, BUT (its a big one) it's all about how much time you have to put into the game. If you can only spend the time for a few rounds with little practice...welcome to 260 in the right rough, shooting 85-90 all day! (kinda like Net)

Tee it forward. Use shorter clubs from the fairway and enjoy the game. When you get better you can move back.

Cliffs on this baw nonsense? I was in late on the Masters thread where it apparently began and it's been referenced in every golf related thread since.
I want to understand the jibberish.

Yea it's pretty fricking annoying but I figured if I knew what it meant it may be less annoying.

This, to me, is the best thing the PGA has been promoting. The feedback I have gotten from people who have adopted this has been great.

Course management, playing to your strengths on the course and overcoming your weaknesses on the range. Distance will come, but right now you need to focus on hitting fairways and greens and eliminating big numbers from your scorecard.
For example, if you're not comfortable hitting a a long iron or 3 wood off the deck then layup and with a club you're comfortable with. You'll shoot better scores by laying up to 100 yards and pitching it close than you will trying to hit a miracle shot from the fairway. Buddy of mine goes for every par 5 in 2 and 90% of the time he hits into a hazard or puts himself in a terrible position for his third shot. The few birdies and rare eagles he makes don't come to close to cancelling out the bogeys, doubles, triples, and others he has made by not having some basic course management.

I always try to avoid the big number
A putt for double bogey still counts so don't just angrily blow it by the hole and then get upset that you shot over 95 again
My goals are to keep it in play and to get up and down
Being consistent with a wedge in your hand is very key
It's a scoring club and you want to use it to your advantage when you're in close. Know how to hit different shots with it too. Sometimes you want it to roll out, sometimes you want it to land soft

Sometimes it needs to be thrown in a tree.

I started playing when I was 8. Everyday from 7 till noon of the summers from age 8-12 I would get dropped off by my grand mother at Selman field in Monroe and play golf. When I was 12 I was about a 7 handicap. Competed well in Jr. tourneys around here. Kinda hit a wall. Slowed down during Jr. high- high school but still played. Was on the high school team but didn't really put much effort in to it. Started playing back heavily after college up till this point where I'm 36. I'm about an 8 handicap now, one worse than I was when I was 12 years old. I have given up getting over any hump and content with being an average golfer. But I can knock the fricking shite out the ball and drink a lot of beer. Good luck.
