This is my first season, I started playing last Thanksgiving....so almost a year now. My only disappointment is not breaking 80 yet. I tried it again yesterday and got 85.
I made....IDK how many.....maybe 18-20 or more literally awesome shots yesterday. I mean pro level. From awesome drives and putts, to hitting the pin on an approach shot...just great. Unfortunately, I had about 4 or 5 truly terrible shots...like OOB off the tee. Hit the ground first instead of the ball....that kind of thing. That's why I can't break 80 now, it's the inconsistency.
Overall though.....loving the game and am very happy with my progress so far.
Well you've been playing less than a year and you're already as good as me, and I've been playing for 10 years, so well done! Admittedly, I have not played enough to really consider getting much better until recently, but still.
