Miami Beach is usually tougher for me cause i feel like its longer, more hazards.
i shoot between 100-106 just about every round. i'm pretty consistently terrible
Depending on the tees, looks like Miami Beach has a decent rating and slope, so it's not "easy"
Normandy doesn't look like a slouch of a course either.
That's probably part of it, but it doesn't look like either course is insanely hard.
The difference between 100 and 90 is practice. Even with some lessons, the practice (and then consistency from it) is what starts dropping strokes.
Once you know your swing enough to hit a ball wrong and know what you did wrong as soon as you hit it, that's when the scores will start dropping. There's just so many damn variables. You can hit your irons well, and not your driver, and vice versa. You can do both of those well, and have a shitty short game. There's so many aspects to a golf game that until you've had a good deal of practice in all the aspects, you can't start to consistently score well.
Yet another reason it's the most frustrating sport on the planet.
i play from the back cause the guys i play with are better than i am. a couple guys are under 10 handicap so i have no choice.
sometimes when i hit hybrid off the box i barely get it past the womens tees

Again, similar situation. Keep in mind that a lot guys that hit in the 90s are talking about the whites.

I'd waste a ton of money if we had a Top Golf around here.

.8 miles from my current place in Texas.
Place is consistently packed and forget it on a Friday or Saturday night.
So much fun and such a great place.

bought clubs like 6 years ago, had never played. probably hit range for a month then played 5 or 6 rounds then put the clubs away and never touched them
about 6 months ago i got lessons and i play after market closes probably once or twice per week then once on the weekend. i still haven't broke 100.
granted i'm obviously a beginner, i still feel like i'm doing something wrong as everyone i talk to plays in the 90's and high 80's and i'm not able to break 100. i keep legit score, i don't take any mulligans or gimmies, i punch out of trouble if i need to.
the worst part is, i don't feel like i suck. i hit my irons really well, i can putt relatively well. i just can't figure out how to allign myself and i never hit to the right target. i'm not hooking or slicing, my target is just off and i can't figure out how to fix it. i also can't drive at all and barely take the club out of the bag.
anyways 100 is my goal, i'm hoping to break it soon.
90% of golfers never legitimately break 100.

I played last weekend for the first time since breaking my ankle(2 years) and I barely broke 100. I bogeyed the final hole and came in at 99. I can still bang it out there off the tee and I hit my irons pretty well considering the layoff. My short game is what really hurt. I had no touch whatsoever and my putting was atrocious.
The funny thing is that I birdied the first hole and knew I could only go downhill from there.

I've heard stats like that before. Always wondered where they came from, or if it's just a saying

It's true. A lot of people break rules they don't even know they are breaking. There is no such thing as a mulligan and OB's result in stroke and distance and you putt everything. You can't bend or break branches or bushes to hit your ball and you cannot ground your club in a bunker or lateral hazard. You can't roll your ball in the fairway. You can't touch it. The list of things people do go on and on. It's no big deal unless they are in a tourney but the strokes add up. I've played with people who in their minds shot in the 90's but their actual scores were in the 110's.

the one thing i've noticed that probably keeps me over 100 is i putt everything out.
i played wtih some guys last week and if it was basically within like 4 ft they just all said 'good for me'. i never do that and always putt it out and probably miss 25-30% of those gimmies

I always putt out. It was that way in the league I played in. It makes you focus all the way from tee to cup. I also love hearing the ball hit the cup.

Didn't really think the stat was being applied in that way.
With that under consideration, I'd say it makes sense. If you forced most guys to play by the actual rules to a T, they're probably adding 5-10 shots a round.
I guess the only thing I ever really skip out on is re-teeing on an OB or lost ball, but that's mainly a pace of play concern. Otherwise I play it out normal.

so if you smoke a drive OB or into water, you drive another without taking a penalty?
i'm not judging or criticizing. just wondering.
cause i either re-tee it and take the penalty or go drop and take the penalty.
