I was reading several articles on the average golfer, and just about all of them said that the average weekend golfer rarely genuinely breaks 100. So with that being said, what do you have to do (or have some of you done) to be better than the average or weekend golfer?
I could break 100 on an easy, wide open public course but am getting my butt handed to me on the private courses where I am a member now. I can't break 50 on 9 yet (but haven't played there more than a few times - and on different courses.
I started golfing roughly 14 months ago. Since then I've been at the range 2-3 times a week minimum, played probably 60 full rounds, and have taken literally 30 lessons during that time. I've also been through a fitting at Club Champion just to learn, and recently at the Taylormade Performance lab where I bought clubs fit to me.
I can get in a groove with any club on the range and look like a pro, but it almost always takes 5-10 swings to find the right swing or swing thoughts to get me into the groove. I can't do this on the course and find myself hitting fat at times, thin at times, slices, with good shots literally in between the bad. I feel like this is par for the course with beginners. BUT, what's next? Playing on the course more often, more time playing golf in general, being more random with my clubs or practice routine on the range?
