Default Re: Why do I always screw up the 1st 4 holes? Then play the rest even.

My GHIN index is 4.9. Even as a 4 handicap I have the slowest starts out of any single digit handicap ever. It doesn't matter if I hit a bucket of balls first. For some reason about the 5th or 6th hole my swing is really in a groove. Here are my 4 rounds this week.

Monday @ Crosswinds. 7 over after 4. Finish 6 over.
Tuesday @ Atlantic. 5 over after 5. Finish 5 over.
Wednesday @ Poquoy Brook. 6 over after 5. Finish 7 over.
Friday @ Southers Marsh. 6 over after 4. Finish 4 over.

honestly, what is your mindset on the first tee? as a 4.9 you should be thinking birdie on any reasonable first hole. the two courses i play regularly start on a 290 yd par 4 and a 500 yard par 5. if i dont walk away 1 under after 1 then something is wrong.

also it seems like you are very close to being a 1 or better
