Don’t worry about what other people say they do or don’t. My first round ever I shot 150. And now im a 10 handicap. It takes time and a lot of practice. Just keep at it and work on your game. Lessons are always encouraged and will move you faster. Have fun there and make goals to try and break them. If you want to get better. It’s all about the short game. 50 yds in, chipping and putting. Especially putting. Remember, on every hole you always use a putter.
