I was just saying I feel walking will give the average person a better feel of the game. And thats why i said first off I suck at golf. But I feel ya, I do suck badly

    props for manning up, bro. golf is good no matter how shitty you are.

    well no... I know i suck. I was just answering the question. Do you think it is better to walk or ride?

    IMO walking will give the average player a better feel for the game as well as to spend more time stategizing...I clearly was not bragging about rarely busting under 100...just trying to answer the question. And you know most golfer's doctor their scores for their egos....oh I shot an 78 haha yea right after mullies and no OBs haha I see these people. (hey what you get on the last hole? ummmm oh yea birdie)

    5% of golfers legit shoot under 80 on average...yet you hear 20% of people claim they do (cheating)

    but again I was just saying I think you should walk to get your best score.

    WTF is wrong with that? They suck horribly if they take no practice swings or 3. Be the average golfer go up take one swing, if it feels shitty or you are in a tough lie take a second. To take 3 on every shot is ridiculous overkill.

    I don't take any practice swings unless I'm within 65 yards of the green or putting. Average 250-270 off the tee, and always shoot 80-85 a round, so if I take one practice swing every time, I'll break 80 and not suck horribly anymore?

    Huh? Are you retarded?

    He said they suck and are taking 3 swings to get a good feel and I said they could take none and still be the same level of shitty. Go back to lurking if you can't understand the flow of a thread.

    % way off or do alot of people doctor their scores....If i shot 100 I could shot 89 by shaving 11 strokes throughout the game like most people do. I could take mulligans, not include OB, fluff up my ball to improve lies, not count a stroke ( hey what you get....oh par, I got par), or any other tactic I see people cheat with. My point is most golfers cheat so the actual percentages of legit 90 and below scores are small. It makes people feel good to say oh I shot an 85 when really they cheated the whole round and if they golfed with a real golfer would then get called out? Oh well atleast I know I suck, I guess is my point.

    i never have an accurate score because by the time I hit my 12th shot on a hole I start to lose count.

    correct so 10% meaning most of y'all are just like me or doctor their score for their egos... Very, very few people are actually good at golf is my point. So if you see 10 people and they all claiming they shoot under 90, roughly 8 of them are bad like me and lie...lol

    actually not really true.

    Most people on the course aren't your average golfer. They guys out there playing are more than likely regulars which shoot under 90. The 90% are the guys that usually go 1-10 times a year for recreation. Most dudes you see on the course might shave a few strokes but they are turning their 22 handicap into a 7.

    I think you are overestimating the numbe of players that cheat (maybe I just trust people too much) and also how difficult it is to break 100 or even 90

    You trust them too much. If you follow the rules 100%, golf is an insanely hard game. And by cheating I just mean through out the game shaving strokes... A golfer shooting a 100 gets made fun of while a golfer shooting in the 80's is good. So a bad golfer needs to shave 10 to 20 points off his game throughout the 18 holes and for their egos they do...

    lol just stop

    and they are called strokes, not points.

    just because you see some people shaving strokes, doesn't mean that a high % of players do.

    and it's not too difficult to shoot around 90 consistently if you play a decent amount. you would be surprised with how much better you'd score with some solid course management

    average ball striking, course management, and decent putting can get you to a 90 quickly.

    I don't strike the ball well on average and score 95-100 because of it.
