Not a scoring milestone, but .. hit most of the fairways in a 9-hole round and .. importantly for me .. that included a few solid shots with a driver (and - a rental set driver, no less)!

Looking forward to reporting more good news as this season progresses.

OK! I can *finally* post in here....

But first... the disclaimers:
- short, relatively easy course
- 9-hole Par 35; 2,624 yds from the Forward tees; 65.1 / 110

Finished @ +7 .. better than bogey golf!!
(...which has been my continuing quest the past few seasons)

4 Pars .. 4 GIRs
3 Bogeys
2 Doubles

No penalties (finished with the same ball I started with!)
1 x 2-chip
1 x 3-putt

Didn't count fairways hit but was in, or was just on the side of, most of them - including one astoundingly lucky "tree wedge" on the one Par 5 where I pushed my tee shot right .. right into the tops of the trees .. and was looking for it to drop into trouble but instead it got thrown out into the MIDDLE of the fairway! Lost like 1/2 the distance on the shot but I will take that! (Note to self: make a contribution to the National Arbor Foundation.) Ended up with a bogey on that hole after I chunked my 100 yd approach and still had to chip on.

One of the Doubles was not "bad" shots but the second and third there were just not good enough .. and then I 3-putted on top of that. Second Double was definitely attributable to three bad shots and ball still not on the green....

But today's round actually follows up a previous 'better than bogey golf' 9-hole round two days ago, where I finished a shorter, easier course @ +8, so I had to have this second one in the bag to "claim it" 😉

Whoo-hoo!

Oooo soooo close...

90 (Par 72 from the forward tees)

-2 vs bogey golf on the front 9 (ie.+7) but a sloppy +2 vs bogey golf on the back 9 (ie.+11)

Hit a lotta good shots :) .. and had four or five chances at sinking a 1-putt, including one that turned into a 3-putt??!!?? .. but still making too many silly mistakes, especially close to the green....

Stay tuned.....

Awesome round! I like the playing to bogey approach, as a high handicap player myself I feel like setting a goal like this helps to take the pressure off and allows for a more relaxed approach to the game. I'm looking forward to seeing the announcement from you that you broke 90 soon. I believe you can do it!

Thanks man!! 👍

Yeah - intentionally play for bogey (ie. conservative) and give yourself chances at pars .. or maybe the occasional birdie!

Had never broken 80 in a tournament round. Last round of the high school season. Was +4 on a par 72 through 17. Last hole was a long par 4 with an approach over water to a narrow green. I took a 9, but you better believe that 79 still felt pretty sweet!

I broke 60, Yeah 60  2 years ago, I shot a 59. Ok it was on a par 64 but, it still counts in my book.

I actually wasn’t thinking about while I was playing because I don’t play the course much (Kissena in NYC) and didn’t know what Par was until I looked at the card after the round.

Also I birdied the last 3 holes making a 25 footer on the last hole and hit a wedge to 1 foot  on 17.  So it wasn’t like I could really think about breaking some barrier with a couple holes to go.

The first big memory was breaking 80. Four of us were heading down to Myrtle Beach on Saturday for a week. Friday nigh I stayed out a little to late and had a little too much! Had an early am flight from NY to Myrtle Beach. Straight off the plane to the golf course. We played the Wizard. I was jet lagged and recovering from the night before so my swing was as relaxed as could be. On the last hole all I needed was a bogey to break 80. But I didn't know it . I wasn't keeping the score card or keeping up with my score mentally. As soon as the putt fell they were all cheering and  told me I shot 79.  I have since broken 70 once last year but the 80 was a big one for me. I went into the pro shop and purchased a logo hat to remember the event. Still have it !

This is a non scoring related milestone and didnt happen on the course.  Some of you old timers may even be able to remember the moment.

I had my first suck back on a wedge shot.

Usually my wedge shots roll forward after a bounce, but I had a genuine drop and suck back.  With a range ball at 90 yards.

For the first time in my golfing career, my handicap is no longer in the teens!

With my play this year, I've been trending down from a 14, but for a long time was stuck at 13.3. 

My last three rounds however have dropped me down to a 12.8! 

Now for the hard part of keeping the trend going the correct way.

The round that sticks out the most is when I finally broke 80. I had been playing a bunch in high school and had gotten closer but always had that one shot that ruined the round. Finally, on a Sunday morning playing with my Dad and our neighbor at the time (who we played with very often) on our home course at the time it happened. 

As any good round like this should it started with a solid tee shot to 90 yards and I stuffed the shot to a few feet for an easy birdie and the round rolled from there. More specific shots don't stick out currently except that I was just solid throughout the round. Lots of fairways and green, despite all this the last few holes were nerve wracking for sure. Walking off 18 after that last putt dropped I could not have been more excited. I think I still have the scorecard in my bag somewhere.

I forgot to post after my last round.  I played September 12th with my sons and a friend.  It was rather short notice, and helped me forget the fact I wasn't in NE Ohio with the group.  I surprised myself with a round of 94.  Considering I played a total of 3, 18 hole rounds, and was a sub in a league 4 times.  Not a great year of playing opportunities.

Now this is nothing significant in the realm of golf scores, but I was happy with it...

Last time I played 18, on the closing Par 5, I hit three (!!!) good golf shots plus one good putt* in a row.

Whoo hoo! 

* Epilogue: the hole was not a birdie .. I missed (?!?) the less than 2 ft second putt.......

Awesome! I don't remember my first back to back birdies.  It doesn't happen that often though.  I did 3 in 4 holes a couple of years ago.  The round was a shitshow, but those 4 holes will not be forgotten until Alzheimer's sets in.

Awesome! I don't remember my first back to back birdies.  It doesn't happen that often though.  I did 3 in 4 holes a couple of years ago.  The round was a shitshow, but those 4 holes will not be forgotten until Alzheimer's sets in.

Well, I remember my last back to back birdies now!  I did it today!  Birdied a par 4 after an offline drive, then a 5wd to 12'.  Hit a knockdown wedge from 106 on the 2nd to about 6' and buried the putt.  Love that feeling.

Not a major milestone, but hit two intermediate mileage markers 😉😄 - scored a clean 45 on the second 9 of the day on a pretty good course - thanks in large part to a par on the last hole .. which was thanks to an up and down from a greenside bunker 👍

That finishing hole has been one of the more difficult for me .. hit a solid tee shot to the left side of the fairway, a not so solid but straight second shot that made a beeline for the left greenside bunker pin high, pulled off a nice touch escape with the ball rolling towards the pin and then nailed the putt right in!!

Broke 70 for the 1st time Saturday after playing 39 years. Starting really working on my game and trying to break this barrier last spring. Herniated a disc in my neck which kept me out for 3 months, but finally got it done. I have a post about it on here somewhere. 

Congratulations!  You are now in some rarified air for amateur golf.

It's definitely breaking 70.   Which will happen next year.  OH and it's going to be glorious when that birdie putt drops on the 18th for a round of 69.   Good times will be had.
