Thread: finally broke eighty

  1. finally broke eighty

    I played this course for the second time this year on the back tees... the course has trees and/or water and for the most part very narrow on every hole though not too long only about 6500 yds. The course rating is 70 from the black tees which i know isnt too high but im still excited. shot a 79 finally, my second serious year playing, i thought id never get there... ever lol i was too excited thought id share since im usually just an observer- hell yeah

    Awesome man, way to improve. If you plateau, as many of us do at one point, don't let it get you down. Just figure out the part of your game keeping your score up, and beat it down like the red-headed step child(no offense to any red-headed step-children here).

    That's a tough nut to crack....especially for someone who has played as little as you have....keep it up.

  7. Hey, wait for me!

    Great scoring! This game gets really fun when you get on a roll like that!
    I've flirted with sub-80 twice in the last 6 months but it has yet to happen. I'm currently letting the plateau that Jeff speaks of get in my head... :(

  9. Good Job!

    I've been playing for about 6 to 7 years trying to break 80. I've been consistently in the 80's lately, shot an 80 2 years ago, and have a low 9 of 37. It's very frustrating that I can't break 80, while I have the ability to do it. It's all mental at this point. Hopefully once I break it, the 70's will come in bunches.

  10. Congrats, awesome round.

    Still waiting to get there myself, but I'm taking it in steps. Started breaking 90 last year on my home course with a few rounds in the high 80's, now setting my sights on breaking 85 in the near future, hopefully.

  11. Congratulations. It's an awesome feeling, isn't it? And it lasts until you go out again and shoot a 94.

  13. Nice round, congrats!

    The next goal is the really hard one....sub 70's I would even settle for a round of even par once in my lifetime. Sub 80's is quite an accomplishment. Most golfers never get that far, so it is definitely a great milestone on your golf journey. Enjoy it.

  14. congratulations! the key to repeating that success is not "trying" to... like birdies, those sub-80 rounds seem to happen most when you don't try to force it.

  15. I gotta say man, based on your bag, that's a real accomplishment. All you carry for wedges is a PW and a SW? May want to consider a wider variety of scoring clubs. How often do you hit that 2 iron?

    I'm probably gonna drop my 3 iron to slot in another wedge. Hittiing a wedge from 60yds instead of 30yds is not a huge deal. Having that one extra long iron probably doesn't help your game like another wedge could.
