Shot a real 101 in golf today and feel fantastic

Date: May 14th, 2025 1:59 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad I started playing about a year ago. Counted everything, didn't cheat myself.
I took a lesson last week to fix my driver slice and while it has helped a ton I'm hooking it short a decent amount, I'd say 40% of the time. But that still feels better than playing out of the shit.
I'm an excellent putter, Garmin says I'm 81st percentile overall and 91st percentile for my handicap. Had three one-putts today.
For reference my last full round I scored a 128. |

Date: May 14th, 2025 2:02 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Probably better than that but that's fine. That's like a 20 fake handicap. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724940&forum_id=2).#48930370) |

Date: May 14th, 2025 2:04 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Course management is yuuuge. For so long I'd just aim straight at the pin from everywhere. Learning to read the conditions has been fun.
I also saw this video from mrshortgame where he advocated using a 7 iron as your main chipping club. That's also been really great for me because it allows me to get it close enough to where I'm two putting at worst. |

Date: May 14th, 2025 2:54 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad No. You want to give your next shot the best chance at all times. Sometimes that means laying up to avoid going past the hole on the green, where you'd face a long downhill putt. Sometimes it means chipping it to the right or left of the hole and getting just the right bounce. Sometimes it means clubbing up or down when you're uphill or downhill or if it's windy. Many other situations. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724940&forum_id=2).#48930547) |

Date: May 14th, 2025 3:06 PM Author: .,.,....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., definitely not. you try to hit to wherever will give you the best chance of getting the ball in the cup in as few strokes as possible. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724940&forum_id=2).#48930589) |

Date: May 14th, 2025 2:37 PM Author: Women are 180. Congrats. There is no bottom to the well. I just shot my PR this week thirty years into the journey. Actually shot my PR last week and just eclipsed it this week on a course I had played only once before. It’s a strange game.

Date: May 14th, 2025 2:55 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad Thank you, congrats to you too my friend. It really is. I always marvel at how great shots feel effortless and shit shots are physically painful. It's the opposite of most sports where overexertion is rewarded.

Date: May 14th, 2025 3:05 PM Author: Women are 180. Thank you. I played a real nice course (host of multiple majors) a couple years ago and got matched with a 70 yo couple who both probably shot 75. At 40+, there are few sport (-like, physical games) that we can continue to improve at for decades. You can’t play your best basketball or lift your heaviest weights at 60yo, but you could play your best golf. Also, the inter generational potential is fantastic. My dad and I played together for 25 years before his health got in the way. I have friends from college I’ve been golfing with for twenty years now too.

Date: May 14th, 2025 3:44 PM Author: Paralegal Mohammad I'm so glad you got to do that with your dad, I sometimes wish my dad and I shared something like that so that we could be closer. I can't wait to introduce my kids to the game. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724940&forum_id=2).#48930704) |

Date: May 14th, 2025 4:41 PM Author: .,.,....,.,.;,.,,,:,.,.,::,...,:,..;,.., I shot a 97 in a match 3 years ago. I had food poisoning and was up the entire night before throwing up and pissing out of my asshole and it was like 42 degrees and windy as fuck. It started fucking snowing for a while in the middle of the round. I really felt like shit and was very cold. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5724940&forum_id=2).#48930911) |
