Just started playing golf and I'm wondering how good I am.?

Question

I'm 13 years old and just started playing golf. I've played 6 rounds so far and my last round I shot a 97 on 18 holes. I also play from the white tees. I practice a lot and it seems like I'm getting better every day and I'm just wondering how good I am.

Answer 1

I really doubt you are shooting 97 if you just started and have only played 6 rounds. That just doesnt happen. Unless its a par 3 course or something.  

Answer 2

Where I live I played with a 10 year old that shot in the 70's off the red and all the high school kids are in the 60's off the blue so I don't know if that is good or not, I wouldn't think so.

Answer 3

Find the State Junior tournament site and visit to see just how good some of the 13 year old golfers are. You then determine if you can beat them. You will have your answer as to how good you are.

Answer 4

To my opinion that's pretty good. I am also 13 and i cant do better than106 but a good way to get a good score is to have a pre-shot routine and with your iron keep the club face straight and keep your head down.

Answer 5

Making game plan and pre-shot routine before approaching to your ball are the first, then you regulate arousal as well as trust your decision and let it go.

Answer 6

i am 13 also and i shoot 91-97. i have played much longer than you and yet you can shoot a 97? are you sure your not taking mulligans or something?  

Answer 7

I think you're doing very well for your age. You also have the right approach by testing yourself by playing from the white tees and you recognize that it takes practice to improve. I would concentrate the largest amount of your practice time with chipping and putting. You will save more strokes as you become more proficient in that area of the game.
