Wontonamo:
i remember someone here that used to come back as different aliases a lot - deccy/barmyarmy/sophie/jessica/bacardincoke - to name a few. always used to pass themselves off as a newb in the forums as well. mostlybirds if ur not him then good luck for your future here - if u are then good luck to u too lol. not looking to pick a fight or hate - just responding to the OP as to how some people can shoot low scores straight up out of the box. its obvious given time and practice people can shoot low - looking back on my own experience it took me a long time to shoot a sub60 round and iirc it was in an unlimited tourney. anyways im an avg legend tier player so maybe theres people on here that are just amazing . hats off to those.

There is a huge difference in having a 252 yd driver, a 227 3w, and irons that go where you aim them, along with the Daytona Rossa putter, which seems to be the putter of choice among good players, as well as premium balls, in comparison to the starter clubs and balls.
With the starter equipment, i could go round in maybe just under par, is it any surprise that i can go well under with the best stuff?
The OP's stats are terribly bad, i admit, but whose fault is that?
I read the forums every day, i see people complain that they hit a chip from greenside 50 rough and that it goes nowhere, whose fault is that?
I play alt shot sometimes and i see folk hitting a 6ft putt 15 ft past the hole, whose fault is that?
The information is all there in the forums, if some folk don't want to read it, that's fine with me, i do read it though.
I have clubs that allow me to score very well on a course i know very well now, namely ST Andrews, and sometimes KI
