Opinion of my golf game??? Tips???

Question

Ok so I haven't played a ton, it's a new hobby. My swing is very ugly but i can drive straight. I am still working on a better iron game and if i didn't rush so much I would have great putts. We play a course with a front 9, back 9 and third 12. I average 82 to 86 on 18 holes. I know I am over par of course, but I wondered if I kept playing and improving where I could go with my game? I play for fun, but I am in college and I am transferring to a University next year and hoped to maybe try out for the golf team. (Side note- I am a back to schooler - I am 31)

I will be getting some tips from a golf pro soon, but wondered if anyone has any good thoughts....

Thanks!

Answer 1

It depends on the school you will be attending, but you probably need to cut at least 10 shots off your score to make the team.  Keep some stats on your rounds like number of fairways hit, number of greens in regulation, up and down saves, and number of putts.  Then analyze to find the weakest part of your game and work on that to improve your score.

Answer 2

Hey dont feel bad!!! Im 28 and have been playing off and on (mostly OFF LOL) since i was 16 but i feel that now i can take my game to a whole new level.  Just get out there and play, practice your long iron approach shots, bunker shots, rough shots until you cant stand it anymore, then do it MORE!!!  Just think...if you master shots out of the hardest conditions, fairways will be a breeze!!!  Im rooting for you!
