I agree with everything that has been said. You've not even been playing a year yet. The average golfers score is 92. So don't feel like you're a terrible golfer just because you cannot break 100 [yet]. I know you're thinking "But I've been going to the course so much and practicing so much". Golf just doesn't work like that. It takes years and years and years of practice for most people to break the 100 barrier and then more years on top of that to break the 90's barrier. Just hang in there. You wont see a visible change in your scores either with golf. It wont be like you're shooting 110 Monday, then Tuesday you lower it to 108, then Wednesday you lower it to 105, etc. With golf, it will come all at once. You might shoot 110, then you might shoot 105, and then you might out of know where throw a 90 in there.

If you want to lower your scores the quickest, hit the chipping/putting green WAY more than you hit range balls. Since you say you hit the ball good now, long game shouldn't be holding you back, it's probably blading chips, 4 putts, etc. Cut that stuff out and your scores with drop.
