👋 Hey,
I honestly didn’t expect this.
Last round I shot 91, which for me was already a big step.
This round…
👉 85
Still trying to figure out how 😅
🎥Feature Video: I shot 85… Something finally clicked 👀
As a high handicapper, you don’t suddenly become consistent overnight.
Bad shots are still there.
But this round showed me something important:
👉 You don’t need perfect golf
👉 You need fewer bad decisions
👉 And a putter that behaves for once 😄
Progress isn’t clean… but it is happening.
⛳ What Actually Helped

🪵 New irons (Takomo 201 MKII)
Only my 2nd round… still learning them
🍀 A bit of luck
Let’s be honest… you need it
⛳ What Still Needs Work
❌ Club selection at times
❌ Reading greens
❌ Getting too aggressive in spots
Still very much a work in progress.
⛳ Focus for Next Round
🎯 Dial in distances with the new irons
🎯 Keep working on putting tempo
🎯 Smarter decisions over “hero shots”
