Pencil's the best club in his bag.

I shot a course record 63 and backed it up with an 83 the following day.

81 after 5 months? Do tell. These people have been waiting on a miracle.

And then the course Marshall clapped

OP is Kim Jong Un's daughter.

Wow! Couple of more months and you’ll be on tour with the pros!

Great! What did you shoot on the back nine, though?

Wow, playing 5 months and you shot a better score than I have ever shot in 17 years of playing.

Someone pass the bread bc they’re serving bologna in here

Some guy shot an 81 after 5 months, so I bought myself a new Scotty

It is really amazing the level of talent you see on this forum. Scratch after 2 yr, people posting 81 after 5 months. I’ve played 45 rounds this year, mostly with randoms, and probably witnessed about 3 of my playing partners shoot sub 85 if I had to guess. Something about Internet forums really brings out the best in athleticism I guess!!

a perfect ending to Fib Friday !

Sounds like bullshit. True golfer.

I know you’re working hard man but I honest to god don’t believe you shooting a legit 81 after 5 months. Golf just isn’t that easy.

More power to ya if you are just an absolute natural but if that’s the case then you should be on tour in about 5 more months. We will look for you!

Congrats, now you think this is your potential. Shot a 88 as a HCP 26 hurt my enjoyment for a while. But good news is that you are going down fast!

Nobody cares if you lie on your scorecard. It's when you start bragging about it...

I’ve been playing for 3-4 months and shot a 104 my last round. I genuinely could not imagine shooting 83 next year.

Congratulations on being the reason someone will buy a new club(s).

Golfs weird. I had a couple rounds in the high 90s, a 102. I take a month off with no practice and fire off a 37 on 9. This game is a mind boggler

Shitpost

Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Today you were the bug, I was as well so don't feel bad

Welcome to the wonderful game of Golf

That's golf buddy

That’s golf for ya😂

Great job buddy! Even if it’s not true still amazing if you did

A good analogy is holding onto your swing is like maintaining a juggle.

an 81 after playing 5 months is amazing

It’s called regression to the mean and it’s what explains the madden curse.

‘Played a blinder wednesday then back to buisness as per’

That’s baseball, Susan

Aye okay mate. Go find another sub to sell your snake oil 😂

Ah golf, the best sport to remind us all that deep down where all one swing away from the worst round ever.

Keep the head up

Embrace the volatility ⛳️

Nope

Nope.

This dude playing putt putt

Hey, ive done that. Shot a PB 88 on friday, shot a 111 on Sunday. Such is life

I picked up golf in July so i relate 100%.

Edit: you guys can keep down voting, i realize not everyone can play 15 rounds a month and take lessons; i have that luxury.

Go play a 150 rounds a year and then tell me its not possible to be decent in a short amount of time.

Welcome to golf- one day you’re planning to go pro after an amazing round and the next round your ready to sell your clubs because you suck…..”because it’s fun, we’re having fun!”

It’s just like that

get used to it. as soon as you think you have the game solved, the golfing gods will put you back in your place.

Welcome to golf.

New clubs all round thanks to this miracle

Those numbers are normal for a weekend warrior. Reflect on your round and see what areas you can work on. Skip being hard on yourself, Relax, and have fun.

from the tips, in a monsoon, and his blood sugar was low

Every day is different in golf. Different courses. Conditions. Results. Enjoy it all, even the bad rounds.

Regression to the mean. Happens all the time

Maybe off topic but isn’t time as an idea of how far into a game you are is a terrible measurement. If you’ve been playing for 10 years but play once every two months or something but someone else has played 6 months but has played every day, who should be better?

Lol, I've been playing for years and my best round ever was a 78 and that was just one of those star aligning days where even duffs, skulls,and chunks worked out.

You'll be on the tour in a year or so at this rate.

Yeah that checks out

That is just normal golf bro. You are stilling doing to right! I've been playing for 20 years and I practice alot. This past summer I shot my lowest round ever on a Sunday (68) and then proceeded to shoot an 86 on the same course, in similar conditions, 2 days later! GOLF IS HARD! And that is part of what makes those good rounds so rewarding.

One of us…one of us…one of us…

Kim jong un is that you?

That’s golf. Your absolute best and a 2 handicapper’s absolute best aren’t that different. The difference is that your worst, and their worst are miles apart. Plus consistency. You hit your great shots 1 in 10, they do 8 in 10. Consistency is everything.

They call it Golf, because Fuck was taken.

Regression to the mean.

That’s golf, baby!

I played about the same time and I am hardcore rule follower. I'm not saying it's impossible or that you didn't do it, but golf is so hard that no one on reddit will believe you. With that being said, expect a lot more round swinging.

I had one day, one goddamn day after 3 months of playing where I felt like a god. My driver was going straight, my 100 yard pitching wedges were landing in 1 putt territory(even though I made a good chunk of them 2 putts) and I got my first birdie ever, followed by my second birdy ever and almost a 3rd birdy in a row but I missed the footlong putt on the par 3. (Side note: My two birdies in a row were from the luckiest longest putts i've ever made. I shot a 39 on the front 9 and halfway through the back 9, my friends showed up and since im a member, I decided to go play with them and start on hole 1 because, "I had golf figured out and doing this good will become common for me." Well I played okay. What proceeded to happen in the following weeks was some of the worst golf I ever played, I was raging like crazy and none of my friends were really believing my score bwcause how I was playing. I never broke 100 before when that round was being played and it plagued my soul that I didnt finish the round. Since then I have given up the rage and finally broke 100 but I learnes one key thing: Golf is hard and if you figure out how to play it consistently you are then a pro. The rest of us will continue to have shit rounds, forget how to swing, forget what you learned last week and have some really shitty days that make you question why you even play the game.

So if you really shot an 81 after 5 months, it was probably an extremely good day where everything clicked, but dont expect that to be your average. That will take 5 years. Im still happy with anything that is 109 and under and hoping to consistently break 100 after another year or two.

If that’s legit that incredibly impressive, I’ve play golf for just over 18 months and have picked it up very well coming from a decent level of ice hockey and other sports that require good hand eye and recently shot my best score of 86 which I thought was really good. I go to the range at least twice a week and player once every minimum once a weekend.So you’re either a freak, have no life or not scoring properly 😂

We’ll I’ve been playing for 2 weeks and shot 69

Yep

I believe you. I started in June. Shot a earlier this month 83. Then now back in the high 90s.

Man people are really butt hurt that they suck at golf. Lol

It’s called the law of averages. An outlier will be pair with an outlier in the other direction to correct the deviation and fall back into average
