    All great answers, so I have a different twist.

    Are you expecting too much is the key.

    What are your expectations?

    If it is about wining and being the best(or even just doing well in RG;s), walk away.

    Yes it is a quitters attitude but sadly it is the truth, you will never be one of the elite.

    If your expectation is to have fun and enjoy the game then stay.

    I am in the last category, I suck most days but still have as much fun regardless of the score, sometimes more so when I card an over par score.

    I do not quit and I am too a golfer, not a gamer,

    When I score well, it is due to my putting, nothing else. I do not take notes, and calculate furiously, it is by feel so some days it works, others (most days) it doesn't.

    If I took notes and calculated each shot, I would be a lot better score wise, but this is a pastime, not a life or death scenario, so I will bumble along. If you want to improve, take detailed notes on each green (where to play the approach to) and notes on the break etc - and you will improve, especially the more putts you take.

    My advice is to enjoy the game for what it is, if it isn;t fun, it is not worth spending any time on it.

    gerryniswonger:

    I made it to TL yet I still have rounds that are disgraceful.  Often missing putts of 5 to 10 with regularity.  My average distance from the hole is nearing 12 feet so almost 1/2 of my putts are under 10 feet.  I often miss 3 and 4 foot putts that have big breaks.

    My question is of other TL's.  Am I expecting to much?  What can I do to putt like other TL's?  I play with a couple and they almost never miss putts inside 10 feet.  Someone please tell me how this is possible.

    Thank you

     

    Hey Gerry

    When I became TL in June I had the same Problem. Putting wasn`t what it was before. But then, after a while, it beame much better. Now my putting is nearly the same like it was in legend times. With some practice it will be the same for you too. Hold yor head up high, all will be good.
