Hello THP,

Been lurking a long time and decided it was time to jump in.

I have a question regarding consistency; How common is it for scores to be all over the map? One round its a 82, then a 86, then a 78 then a 92.

Some info about me:
I started about a year before High School and played all 4 years at my school. I continued playing for a few years after I graduated. During that time I was fairly consistent shooting from a 78-82. Then, life got in the way and I went 2 years without touching a club. Recently I have gotten some free time and decided to pick it back up. After a few range sessions I felt pretty good and just started playing. I have kept track of my rounds on oobgolf and right now I am ranging from a 78 to a 93, with scores all in that range.

I know I cant always have my "A" game, but should it vary by the hole? Will the consistency come with more practice?
I guess my main question is, what should/could the score range be?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Jeremy, for starters welcome to the forum!

I have recently gone through a situation similar to yours and had rounds ranging from 78-92. For me, if I was able to eliminate the few blow up holes per round (taking a triple, etc) I immediately saw my worst score posted in the 86 range.

For me, this boiled down to course management and solid ball striking. Nothing ruins a hole quicker than placing a tee shot OB and hitting 3 off the tee, etc. I have also been able to get my misses into a very acceptable range. If I miss a FW, I typically still have a look at the green. If I miss a green, I am typically within 8-10 yards at most and looking at a bogey if I can't get up/down.

Have you compared your scorecards from the 78 to 93 round to see the difference? Do you have 3 or 4 blow up holes in the 93 round or just a ton of doubles?

I also like to keep track of FW, GIR, and putts while also noting the distance of the putt made on the hole.

Typically I can look at my card after a round and see immediately where I did good & what I need to work on. Personally, I need to hit more GIR from 150 and in to shoot 70's consistently.
