July was crap, hit range alot but only the links once I think, August I played at least once a week, sometimes twice... maybe 6 total? Those are whites scores, not the blues... can add 3 strokes for the blues just for distance... lol...

For me the biggest thing I've changed is hitting shags. Was 90s last year and got in and hit bucket or two when I could last fall and spring and it really helped. Not as fun as playing, but a few hundred practice shots is going to improve your game and that makes the game more fun (less frustrating)... lol

I stopped trying to kill the ball, try to put it down the middle every shot. If I flub or make a bad shot, I try to not compound it by messing up the next shot. I also count every stroke and don't touch my ball til it's on the green. Those two things are tough to do if others aren't doing it and not in the habit, but have made me a better player since I started cause makes me think about my shots more.

Guy I shoot with is a friend from HS and we might say 100 words in 18 holes. Not everyone is like that, nor is that everyones idea of a good time. For us it works cause we just really like to play rather than chit chat. Every woman I've ever tried to explain that too couldn't understand it, but think you'll get it... lol
