You can do it!! Swing slow, like 70-80% of what you normally swing with all of your clubs and club up to compensate the loss of yardage.
Slow and steady breaks 100!

True story, I haven’t really played consistently since having my first kid about 5 yrs ago. I’m finally getting back into the game and was stuck in the 110’s too.
Last round I put up a 96. I was trash off most tee boxes, sloppy with my irons, but the two areas that made all the difference were course management and chipping. I noticed a few holes where I’d have a bad shot, and rather than try to make up ground I just took my medicine, got it back in play, and I’d wind up with a respectable bogey. Had I gone for hero shots or rolled the dice on a wood/long hybrid with a shit lie, it would have most likely turned one flubbed shot into a downward spiral.
I’ve been working on chipping in the backyard, and once I got past the idea that I needed to have all these advanced techniques, I realized a simple chip gets the job done 90% of the time. Getting on the green with one instead of skulling or flying it turns double bogeys into pars very quickly.
Obviously just some asswipe on Reddit’s opinion but when I was stuck in that score range these two areas made all the difference.
