I don't play much. I went yesterday and I'm making improvements.
I can now drive about 200 yards (including bouncing/rolling/cartpath help) about 50% of the time. And of that 50%, half of those actually go straight. I found out the problem is my driver is too long. It's made for a tall person, I got it second hand. If I choke up my grip onto the metal, the ball does pretty much what it's supposed to do.
Once on the fairway, I've got a wood that will roll the ball about 150 yards at a time.
My irons are all junior clubs, and I can hit those pretty effortlessly. I never knew 5'8" was considered "short", but I guess it is, based on golf clubs.
As long as there is no water or sand traps, I'm approaching double-bogey on most holes.
I actually held onto 1 ball through the back 9 yesterday. I lost it on the 18th hole.
Being sober probably also helped. My other experiences on the course are not sober, but yesterday I went with my AA friend and didn't want to be "that guy".
