thegolfgal Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Ok Ladies, let's dig deep and figure out what's holding us back. For me, I have to say my putting. I have changed my stroke, but if I don't practice it gets ugly. I start mixing the old with the new and I keep missing left and right. What's in your way!

Betty Rene Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 What came to mind first was inattentive and slow bev cart girls. lol Seriously, my best round (so far) can be attributed to knowing the course. Since I have moved and I now play numerous courses without a home course, my scores have suffered. Secondly, I know ill-fitted clubs have prevented me from achieving a lower handicap. And third, the wind will destroy any hope of scoring my best round ever. Divot Diva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Welcome from the Pacific Northwest! Glad you joined us Betty. My wife has been playing since she was 8... now 60. Since we joined a club this year and have played it many times, her scores have come down to low 80's. When we travel, they go back up to low 90's. Course familiarity has a lot to do with it. She doesn't get involved here on the forums but she knows many of the guys because I tell her about many of them and read many of the great posts out here to her. We have also played with rev and foz on our travels. I hope you get many other ladies involved; we need a woman's touch here!! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Rene Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 OK, I've been holding back. What truly holds us back from and stands in the way of our best round ever are TaTa's. Yes, they get in the way. Nothing to do about that, except swing a little different from men and how does that difference in a swing effect the approach to a ball and furthermore, the flight of the ball?

thegolfgal Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 First time on the mobile app, sorry. With that said, once we learn to swing around the girls, maybe a bit of consistency and or distance may be the price of being voluptuous.

Betty Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Golfgal- yes the "girls" do get in the way, .. But what really throws me off is slow play.gives me time to think and second guess what I would do or I get sluggish and just play poorly. doesn't make for a great score.
