Never, could hit lower 90s for about a year and it never clicked.

They tore down my local horse for McMansions, quit since then.

Ah, that's unfortunate. But low 90's isn't that bad

I know there's tutorial advice all over the internet, but any advice on perhaps the most important club to invest in etc?

My short game is exceptional... Honestly a natural. Either side (the most important areas) are very much lacking

Too many moving parts, most likely. A golf swing is one of the most difficult techniques to master. Just when you finally fix one thing, three other things fall apart. You really just need to get lessons on what to do and what not to do, and have someone who know a proper swing to watch you and make corrections.

What, did you just get a high-powered executive job or something? Nobody enjoys golf, you play it out of necessity or because you're being paid to.

Advice from a former St. Andrews caddie -

Focus on your short game. I've dragged crafty 80 year old men using persimmon woods around a golf course and watch them shoot sub-90 simply because they could get up and down from anywhere around the green.

Thanks to technology and the modern game on TV, everyone gets a hard dick watching big booming drives and approach shots that stop on a dime but that's unnecessary bullshit. I've watched plenty of range warriors measuring dicks with how far they can drive only to be double and triple bogeying their way across the course because they try to power their way through the course instead of play smart.

I've been playing over 20 years. I've only broken 90 twice.

Daily reminder that golf is not a sport

>>66993853
6 years of playing maybe once a week about 9 months a year. I've shot in the high 70s twice, on days when everything works.

Putting is the most important thing to take strokes off the game, and for me, getting it on the green in regulation is the most important thing to set up a good score. Driving isn't so important, since you can usually make up for a bad drive with other parts of the game.

This. I started breaking 90 once I learned how to properly hit out if bunkers and get my putting average below 2 per hole.

Also, invest in some new wedges that don't come with the iron set. The gap and sand wedges that are in an iron set are usually shit - they're too fat to hit anything other than simple chip shots.

Also, look who won The Open last year at St. Andrew's. Zach Johnson can't hit over 280 yards and has the swing of a 12 handicapper, yet he can get the ball within 10 feet from anywhere within 100 yards of the hole.
