m****n 发帖数: 815 | 1 Monarch Bay Tony Lema golf course. It has a rating 127. Totally self
destructed yesterday. So now I'll need some beginner-friendly-and-self-
esteem-boost course in Bay Area. I wonder if I'm cut out for 18-hole at this
point.
And trust me, it is bad. On the bright side, I did record my first par by
sinking a 20-foot putt and closed out the front 9 with 1 par and 2 bogey.
But damn, back 9 ... I'd rather pretend it did not happen. | t****i 发帖数: 904 | 2 don't worry, everyone has to go through this. when your swing improves, you
won't feel as destructed.

my personal feeling about the difficulty of courses is very different to the
course rating/slope.

| t****i 发帖数: 904 | 5 In general, I think course rating and slope is a good reflection of how
difficult it plays. Most of the time I play courses with slopes in the mid
130s including my home course, and occasionally I play courses in the 140s.
What I can tell you is that those with slopes of 140s really play very
difficult.

| f*t 发帖数: 382 | 6 in general, course rating is for scratch player and then slope rating is for
boggy player in conjunction with course rating. sure, the higher the
ratings means more difficult | A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 7 i understand that is how they calculate the slope rating.
but my question is that, for individual players, the feeling would be very
different.
for example, someone may not like the elevated course, someone maybe not
like link-sytle windy course, someone may not like long course, someone may
not water harzard, someone may not like many sand trap, someone may not like
narrow fairway/long grass/tree lines, and the overall (in general) all
those feature would make the course more difficult, ie, hig

| f*t 发帖数: 382 | 8 Got your point, that's more about your confidence level verses different
hazard. There is no index for that, haha.
For example, in Pacific NW, the course here normally have a lot of trees,
very hard sand traps and muddy. So, To me, because I play those a lot. I may
not concern those more than a guy from Arizona where the course is totally
different "style".
Man, we need to work on our 'Mental' part. That's the heart of golf.

| A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 9 havent played with that course yet.
just curious how well did your other partners do on the course?
you need find out "it is not your day" or "it is not your course"
if others were all doing well, that indicates, it might just mean it was not
your day.
if everyone else was surfferring/struggling just as you were, i would say,
it was not your course.

| d***t 发帖数: 210 | 10 you can still play 18...
find an easier 9-hole course and play it twice.
