Every golfer seems to have a different answer when it comes to actually getting better.

Some swear that taking lessons completely changed their game.

Others say the biggest improvement came from spending more time on the driving range, putting green or practising on their own.

And then there are golfers who believe there is no substitute for simply playing more rounds and learning how to score on the course.

So let's hear from people who have actually gone through it.

What made the biggest difference in YOUR game?

🏌️ Lessons with a golf pro
🏌️ Practising on your own
🏌️ Playing more rounds
🏌️ YouTube / online instruction
🏌️ Better course management
🏌️ Equipment or a proper fitting
🏌️ Something completely different

What was your handicap when you started taking golf seriously — and what is it now?

If you made a big improvement, tell us what changed.

For example:

Started: 24 handicap
Now: 12 handicap
Biggest difference: Lessons + practising my short game twice a week

You never know — something that helped you knock 5, 10 or 15 strokes off your game might be exactly what another golfer in here needs to hear.

What worked for you? 👇⛳

We’re well into the golf season, and let’s be honest… some of us have found our swing, some are still searching for it, and some have completely lost it. 😂

So, what’s going on with your game?

Have you been fighting a slice? Struggling with your grip? Coming over the top? Can’t figure out why you’re hitting it great on the range but losing strokes on the course? 

Or maybe your question has nothing to do with your swing at all. 

This is your chance to Ask a Golf Pro.

We’re excited to have Davey Porsius joining us for an AMA, and he’s here to answer your questions about all aspects of the game.

🏌️ Ask Davey about:

• Grip & setup
• Swing mechanics
• Ball striking
• Driver & iron play
• Short game & putting
• Course management
• Club selection
• Practice & drills
• Fixing common swing faults
• The mental side of golf
• Playing under pressure
• Taking your range game to the course
• Breaking through a scoring plateau
• Or anything else golf-related that’s been driving you crazy

📸 🎥 Ask your question your way 

You don't have to explain your swing perfectly with words.

Post your question in the comments using text, a picture, or a short video. Show Davey the swing, ball flight, setup, or situation you're struggling with and give him as much context as you can. 

No question is too basic, too technical, or too specific. Whether you're trying to break 100, break 80, lower your handicap, or simply stop losing balls off the tee, this AMA is for you.

Davey will be answering as many questions as he can over the next few days, so get your question in early and jump into the discussion.

Check back and see what Davey has to say about other golfers’ questions too. You might find the answer to a problem in your own game.

Every golfer has that club. The one you pull out of the bag with a little extra confidence. The one that just feels right in your hands. Maybe it's the club you trust when the pressure is on, the one you can always count on to find the fairway, stick it close, or rescue you from a tough lie.

So let's hear it...

🏌️ What is your favorite club to hit, and why?

Is it:

• Your driver because you love launching bombs off the tee?
• Your trusty wedge that saves your score around the greens?
• The putter that seems to roll everything into the center of the cup?

What makes it your favorite? Is it the feel? The sound at impact? Knowing exactly how far it goes? The memories you've made with it? Or maybe your swing thoughts just seem to disappear when it's in your hands.

⛳️ 2026 Golf Goals Thread ⛳️

What’s your current handicap… and what’s your REALISTIC goal for 2026?

⬇️ Drop yours below:
🏌️ Current Handicap:
🎯 2026 Goal:

Maybe you want to:
• Break 100 for the first time
• Finally shoot in the 70s
• Stop 3-putting every green 😅
• Hit more fairways
• Play more rounds with friends
• Or just get out and enjoy the game more

No goal is too big or too small. The idea here is to support each other, track progress through the season, and maybe even inspire someone else to set a goal of their own.

If you see someone with a similar goal, give them some encouragement or share a tip that helped you improve. 👊

Let’s make 2026 the year we all get a little better and a lot more addicted to golf.
