I went from a 10 last year to currently a 4.9 according to 18 birdies, I’m always trying to break 80

Biggest mental thing for me was to just not calculate my score. I right down the number after the hole then just ignore it, I don’t count up my strokes after 9 and just keep playing.

It’s definitely helped me to not chase a score, of course I have an idea of what I am shooting but I don’t calculate the exact number until after the round. If I know I’m close to the 80 number I’ll calculate my score on 17 or 18 to see if I need to get more aggressive or not.

You should be trying to break par with that handicap. Breaking 80 should be almost automatic

I don’t think 18 birdies handicap calculator is accurate. It’s got me at a 2.4, and I’m more like a 6 right now. I think it overvalues your really good rounds, I had a 67 at Purcell farms I think is really skewing it last year. Most of my rounds this year have been 75-79.
