Absolutely agree! It’s all about learning. What are your thoughts on getting a coach to help with adjustments?

If you shoot 100, your golf handicap could typically range from 20 to 30, depending on the difficulty of the course. Be sure to check the course rating!
That’s super helpful! I’ve played on different courses, and I definitely notice how each one affects my score.
Exactly! A par-3 course with low obstacles is way easier than a championship course with lots of hazards.

It’s interesting how a tough course can add strokes to your game. I shot 100 at one course but only 90 at my home course! What’s the difference?

Don’t forget to factor in other variables like weather and your personal condition on the day. They can really impact your score!
That’s true! I once played in terrible wind and shot almost 15 strokes higher than my average.
I’m curious, does anyone know how exactly different courses are rated for difficulty? Is it just the length or are other factors considered?
Great question! The USGA takes into account course length, average slope, and difficulty of hazards when determining the rating.
Let’s be honest, if the greens are fast, everyone’s handicap goes up! Those slick surfaces can ruin a good game!
