re: OT Golfers - How long did it take you to break 100?

I started breaking 100 around 8th grade, but I started playing when I was 7.

You can get there, but in reality. 100 isn't that bad if you want to just relax and have a day outside having fun. I played in college, and I probably wouldn't break 90-95 right now. I haven't played in 2 years. Actually, 100 might be a goal at this point.

Get someone to look over your swing. Also, club/foot placement are huge, bigger than many amateurs think. When you line up on the tee box, stop for a second and place your driver where it is touching both toes. Where it is pointing, is where you are aiming. You need someone to look at your swing, because a) it needs shaped right b) sometimes for your swing the club head needs turned in or out. Last one, always concentrate! It kind of strange, towards the end of the course we tend to get lazy between the ears, this translates to the body. Always concentrate on every shot. Know your swing and commit to your swing. Lazy swing = bad shot. It's easy to get lazy without thinking about it if you've been out there all day. I bet you can cut 5 strokes off your game by simply concentrating for an entire round.

Those are 4 big things I tell friends who are new golfers.
