    Good afternoon,

    Brand new TT member here, and I'm starting to get a bit more serious as a player.

    A bit of background, I'm 27 and I played a bit around the time I was in middle school, and then was reintroduced during 2020. During that time (2020-2023), I improved quite a bit, being able to regularly score in the low 90s on most courses. Life got in the way, and I wasn't able to keep up my playing until now, where I have the schedule to allow playing or range time much more frequently.

    I can still shoot about 92-96 (I have no idea what that translates to in handicap), but my best friend is getting married next summer, and I want to be at least into the 80s by the time his bachelor party comes around. Any advice to shave off a few strokes and build consistency? Or is it simply range time and playing rounds that helps?

    I know the answers are varied, and I can provide more relevant information if needed.

    Thank y'all,

    Ben

    Have you taken any lessons? Have you taken any rules classes? Learning course management will help you save a few strokes as well. You would be surprised what a lesson can do for your game. At first it might be frustrating until you hone that advice the Pro gives you.

    Ben, find a PGA teaching pro and take lessons. A good foundation of the golf swing, short game and putting you will receive from your lessons will put you on the correct path to shooting in the 80s. John
