    Re: new to golf, made a 78

    I think it's possible, I was shooting low 80's after 6 months when I was 15. At 16 and 1/2 I actually shot a Even Round.

    Since then I have had so many injuries and Problem with my body, my game has gone out the window and is hard to get it back to where it was. But I am working on it.

    Anyway, off to the Course to play at least 9 holes, gonna practice my swing tempo.

      Re: new to golf, made a 78

      I've been playing for a few months now... maybe 5 or 6... At first I was hitting over 70 on 9 holes, after 2 months it was down to regular 55's and recently I've managed to hit under 100 for a full 18 holes.

      The lowest score I've had on 9 holes ever was 2 weeks ago.... I got 42... only 7 over the par 35

      I've recently been taking lessons to improve my short game, so hopefully by spring, I'll be breaking 90 for a full 18 holes, and maybe get under 40 for my 9s

      Just picked up a Mizuno MP T-Series 60 degree wedge (5 degree bounce) so I'm hoping that'll help improve my game too.

        ive been playing since the date below and the low 80s are easily attainable, its not that hard, all you need is a few birdies and a few pars and you got that score

        i dont see where it is so hard, ive got my dad playing he has been playing for 3 weeks or so and ive got him down from his first round of 130 something to the mid 90s

          I also have questions

          I started golf about 1 month ago, took 4 lessons (1 per week)
          and the golf pro said I could reach handicap 36 in april
          this meaning I could then get my practice exam and go on course

          this said, I wonder how you can go playing without having any handicap
          any golf course I've been don't alow players on the course unless they have a handicap

          Since you've said you don't have your handicap yet, how is all this possible ??

          I have to add that I play field hockey all my life wich gave me a big help in learning golf
          being young is also a plus: you're 18 so that explains something

          do you actually mean that before 2 months you never in your life hit a golf ball??

            the only golfball i had hit before i started golf was with a baseball bat



            'Since you've said you don't have your handicap yet, how is all this possible ??'

            what are you talking about?? at my course you dont have to have a handicap to play

              lucky you, I guess.
              at my club you're not allowed to play on the course unless you have a handicap
              the only thing i'm allowed to do is practice at the driving range
              and it's like that at every club in my country, and I thought everywhere in the world

                Some of you guys hit some insane scores.

                I have been playing for about 5 months and I just hit my best round ever of a 93.

                    Here in Australia you have to play 3 rounds and have it witnessed and signed by another Club Member, then you get your Club HandiCap, then you play another 2 and it's turned into a National HandiCap.

                      Re: new to golf, made a 78

                      In Belgium we first have to pass a theoretical (the rules of golf) en practical exam (hit 10 balls straight over 100 meter, hit some bunkershots, do some putting, etc) before we are allowed to go on course: then you dont have the handicap yet

                      to get your handicap you have to play a few courses, whitnesed by the captain of your club, and you have to get a certain result (this result depends on the dificulty of the course), so it's similar to what eastley said

                      I started taking lessons in december and the golf pro said I should get my handicap in april

                      problem is I don't have much time to go practicing: only twice a week for 1 hour

                        Took me 8 Days and I had my HandiCap Now it's at 25 and shrinking fast.

                          I think in belgium it's just plain impossible to get your handicap in 8 days
                          because of the system they use here

                          btw: what time is it now over there? here it's 9:19 am
