Finally Broke 80

First time ever. Par 70. 6400 Yds. I was 6 over on the front. Par'd the first seven holes on the back. I was just enjoying the round not trying to think about it too much. My playing partner says to me on the 17th tee, " You keep this up and you will shoot your lowest round ever" Promptly had bogies on 17 and 18 for a 79.

Great job! I shoot in the 70's 1 out of every 10 rounds or so and it seems like that's what I'm chasing all the time. If I shoot an 8 over 80 on a par 72 I'm disappointed but if I shoot an 8 over 79 on a par 71, I feel as though I accomplished something even though I was 8 over each round.

If what you wrote is correct, you shorted yourself, 6 over on the front an 2 over on the back on a par 70 is a 78 my man!

Nice! Congrats!

Did you punch him in the sack? People who say crap like this deserve it.

Way to go, buddy. I am hoping to break through soon. Shot my personal best 8 over which included a 7 on one of the par 4’s where it took me three swings to get out of a soft bunker. Hurts in hindsight. Currently at 10.0 index

Yep......I know the feeling...shot 72 today first time since 2006
