“Why Most Club Golfers Never Seem to Lower Their Handicap”
Travis Wilson, PGA Professional – Assistant Golf Professional – Gateway Golf & Country Club – Fort Myers, FL
I have served in the Golf Industry for 12 years and have noticed that most golfers do not get any better at golf. All of my experience is in the private club sector. The four private clubs I have been involved with all seem to have members who share similar experiences with their playing abilities; as such I will call them “average golfers.” So why is it that most average golfers never improve? Once in a while they will shoot a “career” round only to have a disaster round a couple of days later. So what gives? Why is it that some golfers are able to play the game very well and some are stuck shooting high numbers?
