[ZZtop]

it wasn't until the end of last summer that i consistently started scoring rounds in the upper 70's. it was a major milestone for me and my golf game and something that i have worked towards since really getting into golf about 6 years ago. once i finally broke 80 it seemed like i could/would shoot in the 70's every 4 out of 5 rounds. i feel as though my ball striking is better than it's ever been and i now have confidence in a driver that i've never had before.

i was reading a post about having lessons and JB mentioned that it wasn't until he had a lesson that he really started to score. i think that's a lot of my problem. i can hit fwys and i can hit greens but i just can't score. i don't have the budget for lessons right now but i am also ready to start moving my scores consistently into the mid-lower 70's. my last 5 rounds have been: 79,76,77,77,79. i'm pleased with that don't get me wrong but i'm capable of going lower.

i was reflecting on my round yesterday where i hit 11/14 fwys and 11 or 12 greens, yet i managed only 3 birdies. my first thoughts are that i need to work on my putting, which believe me, i have. so i guess my next thought would be that i'm not using the best putter for me. how important is a putter fitting? what would you do if you were limited in the amount of putters/brands you could demo? what can i be doing to help myself take my scores to the mid-low 70's?
