re: Telling a begginer to “start from the hole and work back” is bad advice

I’m sort of a beginner. For me, I started really improving when I stopped trying to play from the white tees. I now play from whatever the shortest tees are red/green. Obviously my scores improved because I shortened the course by about 2000 yards. But my game improved. Without the pressure of trying to not hold up the people behind me and the ones o might be playing with, the game is fun, not stressful. I don’t take mulligans and I play strictly by the rules. I have scored 100 twice now, when I break 100 I will move back a box. Rinse/repeat. I have found that which club doesn’t matter, you have to be able to strike the ball well and get consistent. Just my 2c
