Talking FINALLY.... broke 80!!!!

I started playing golf seriously last spring and pretty quickly started shooting in the mid to low 80's. Over the past month, I felt like I was finally putting things together to get to that next level. Well, yesterday, I finally broke 80. Shot a 76 on a par 71 course, bogeying the final 3 holes.

I went out as a single and as we tee'd it up on the first hole, one of the guys brought up handicaps. I said I was an 11, but that I never broke 80. After the 14th hole, I don't think I said a word outside of good shot, and f*ck (to myself of course). As I sank the putt on 18, the one guy immediately asked, "did we see you do it?" I said yes and they all gave me a high 5. I couldn't stop smiling all day yesterday.

Way to go and good job on just blowing right by 89. I'll bet it's easier to do from now on.

My best is currently +10 so while I know it can be done, I still haven't put it all together like that.

SC, breaking 80 is my goal as well right now, and for me it's a loftly one. I don't think I'll see it anytime soon.

Contratulations. Keep it up.

Great Job! The first time is always the hardest, but the second may take a while too. Just doing it once is a great accomplishment, something to always be proud of..........

Thanks everyone!

My goal is to do it twice this summer. Over the past few weeks I've flirted with it a few times. Shot an 81 and 80, both with double bogeys on 18 - those were hard to swallow. Everyone says it, and I finally realized it, but the most important stat was putting in that 4 - 10 foot range.
