Welcome to THP! In addition to what others have said, I'd just add that you shouldn't get too discouraged if things seem to be going well and then take a sudden, inexplicable turn for the worse. It's a fickle game and it's entirely normal to feel like everything is coming together one day only to have it seem never further away the next.
Welcome to THP! Sounds like your off to a good start. Have fun and it will come much faster. Set small goals, meet them and set another. I always says it’s a dang easy game! Hit the fairway, Hit the Green, then 2 Putt! Boom you got a par

Welcome to THP! My only advice, enjoy the chase!
Welcome to THP, I love the lofty goal, but like other said, maybe breaking them into smaller ones would be easier, break 100, 90, 85, etc.
I agree this is more practical but break 100 is nothig special. After my first and only outting I genuinely think if I have a good day 100 is in reach.
On the netflix/youtube lessons, they are nice, but make sure they don't overload you with information, you do not want to work on more that one or two things at a time when you practice.
Agree. At this point I don't know where to start. I have to play more and hit balls more to see where I need improvements the most.
You seem to have some of the habilities required to be a good golfer, I'll be following along with your progess.
Thanks man. I think I have more natural ability than most but I'm not some gifted athlete. I think my ability to intelligently address issues will be my biggest advantage. I think I'm rather smart and think about things differently than most.
a good swing and short game will help you to lower scores, but decision making is the key, read up on course management and you'll see your scores go down faster.
I will definitely look into this. Thanks! As I don't have much experience I agree any mental advantage will be very important to me accepting the goal. So any time I can gain strokes just by being smart/tactical is a major plus.
where are you swingwise right now? making contact consistently? struggling with a certain ball flight?
Truthfully I don't think I have hut enough golf balls to answer this accurately. When I went to range after my first outting I hit 200 balls with a 6 iron. By my last 50 balls I was hitting them sky high and I'd say 60% were decent 20% poor and 20% completely terrible. I'd say on my first golf round I made good contact only about 40% of time.e. was fine with contact using driver but irons I had trouble figuring out where to aim so that I didn't hit top of ball with bottom of club. My mind kept telling me I was going to hit the ground and my friend said I have to hit the ground usually to get solid contact. That's why I only used iron when I went to range. Since I can't see my own swing(will have someone record one or two next outting I am not sure of my swing. The one friend who is a more experience and better player of the two said my swing looks very good especially bc it was my first time. But he is not a coach so who knows.
Ok back to my goal. I want to score a par this season.
I have zero doubt you'll achieve that goal. Hell, I probably scored a birdie my first full season. Can't remember when I got my first eagle, but I know it was a long time after the first birdie.
Good luck, keep at it, keep practicing, and you'll achieve your goal(s)!
