  I had a lot of fun for several months and then my score hit 74.24 and has not moved for months. I am growing weary and believe I am somehow stuck. Honestly I have not been able to beat the greens for quite some time but I truly am at the point of shutting down.

  Have you seen the hints in the other thread?

  It's easy and inexpensive to play the cheapest custom balls - 1 cr per nine holes game!

  I believe  I have tried it all. I have used the best equipment that I am allowed to buy and the best balls. I have studied the greens  I have played with a better than perfect score when all of sudden I hit a  green that appears as if someone on the other end has taken control  of my ball. I  know that is not the case but months and months of playing and my score just will not move. I enjoy this site so much and it is without a doubt the "funnest" place I have ever found but I have been a competitive guy all of my life and I sure can not quit while I am behind. Thanks

  You need a score of 74 for 18 holes or 37 for 9 holes to bring your average down. Looking at your stats it's your wedge play that is holding you back. You should practice the different types of wedge shot, especially the flop and the punch. If you get those approaches close then you'll need fewer putts.Buying a ball with spin will help like the SD or Srixon. Good luck.
