It's pretty easy. I used to do it all the time. Course I still had the back nine to play.Anytime someone shoots in the 70s, is impressive.
Shot one of my career bests yesterday, a 77 with three birds, one double bogey and one, three putt green. Temps. in the mid 40s and 7-10 mph winds starting out. I usually dislike winter golf with a passion but for some reason yesterday, everything clicked. What a silly game we play !
Very nice.
Well done. I just had a surprisingly good winter round too, stupid game.Shot one of my career bests yesterday, a 77 with three birds, one double bogey and one, three putt green.

Want to lower your scores? Seems to be a correlation between pace of play and score, faster pace...lower scores. Our regular group walks and plays in ~3hrs., I'd probably give up golf if it took >4hrs on a regular basis at my home course, I expect long rounds when traveling and playing at resort courses.

I don't doubt it, but it won't change the league I am in - a few people slow most of us down. Fortunately the league admin who does the scheduling puts the slow players (most know who they are) at the end so we don't have to put up with it on course. But we still all have to wait 30-45 minutes after play for payouts. We have a 3-4 handicap players in our league, but they're NOT the problem, they all play at a respectable pace even though they're all older high HI players. You would think that would shame our able bodied slow pokes, but no...they're oblivious!Want to lower your scores?

Interesting and I'm with you re slow play being painful. But, which causes which? Wouldn't poor play cause slower play?

We have many players at our club with +20 handicaps that have no problem finishing in 3-3.5 hours. In fact some of the slowest groups are the weekend matches where the low handicappers play for money. This is my partial list at what causes slow play:
Not being ready to hit when it's your turn.
Not playing ready golf.
Overthinking.
Talking when it's your turn to hit.
Too many practice swings.
Trying to imitate the pros on the greens.

New to this thread. Just retired and have some free time, but live in the icy north. Any suggestions on off-season routines? I'm sure I can find a golf dome in the area. I'm a hack (shoot +/- 100) and would like to improve my game.
