Is this a good golf score for a 15 yr old HS golfer?

Question

I shot a 42 and i had back to back birdies and finished with a 6 over (par 36). Also are there any tips on how to keep the good round going? i birdied 2 and 3 and was 1 over through 5 and then was 5 over through the last 4?

Answer 1

Consistency is a big key in golf. Stamina is another. Some start out strong and finish weak and visa versa. I suggest exercise to keep up the stamina and lots of practice to build consistency.

If you could keep the 6 over through the back nine as well that would still be a pretty good score and would beat most of the weekend players out there.

Keep practicing and you will go far.

Answer 2

it sounds like consistency is somethin ya prolly wanna work on but otherwise i'd take it at that age

Answer 3

not bad...go directly to see the coach...

Answer 4

last year i know the winning score for my county tourny was around a 74 on a par 72.  the best player on my team, was the 7th best in the county averaged a 43 for the season.  i would suggest just playing 18 holes whenever you can, so you can get used to playing for a while and build up your endurence so yo will play the last 4 like the first 5.  the key is keeping the same swing.  as my coach always said, i would rather hit the ball 150 yards every time and perfectly straight, then 300 yards and all over the place

Answer 5

Absolutely. Stay calm and enjoy the moment.

Answer 6

Im 16 and on most cases i shoot 37 or 38. 42 isnt bad but it could be better. You probably lost strokes thinking about what score you were going to post. Alot of people have a problem with that

Answer 7

Yes, 42 is a good score for your age, im sure you will improve.  It depends on what tees your were hitting off also.  What I find that helps is to hit off the tips when practicing so whenever a tournament comes around i'll be prepared.

Answer 8

Yes that is a very good score for 15yrs old.  Heck that is a good score for any age IMHO.  Golf scores will be up and down throughout a round or over the course of a year.

Thats why handicaps look at your last 10scores on a course.  Not just a couple rounds.

As you get more golf under your belt your bogeys will fade, and you'll have more birdie chances.    Keep focus on each shot.
