No doubt! It's a milestone I will never see... I'm ecstatic when my score has a 7 in front of it...lol.

Me too, I broke 80 four times in 2020 (of 71 rounds) and four times in 2021 (of 98 rounds). I will never break 70…no chance. I’ll be very surprised if I ever shoot my age (67 now).

I played with a guy who shot 67 two weeks ago, with 7 birdies. It was a pleasure to watch first hand, lowest score I’ve ever seen in person.

Never say never. This was my best season ever. I've been playing for 32 years and didn't start playing until I was 30.  Today was my twelfth round in the 60's this year. They are all 68 or 69 but who knew at this age I could be doing this. But I am still a proud member of the aceless thread. Some day I'll get one.

I'm an a simiar boat.  I broke 80 3 times this year.  One of them was a 75 where I three putted last 3 holes.  I did have dreams of breaking 70 until the 15th hole.  That was beginning of the season and I never got close.  I won't have another shot at it unless my drives get straightened out.   Don't give up!  Let's dream of breaking 70 even if it's just a dream.  That's what keeps us going, isn't it?

There’s no way I’ll ever break 70. What “keeps me going” is one day shooting my age, but that seems unlikely as well. But that’s OK, I enjoy golf whether I shoot 76 or 90 (my range of scores this year). Believe it or not I don’t let score determine if I enjoyed playing on any given day, and yes it’s taken decades to put golf in that perspective…

Proof: I shot 79 on Friday 12/17, and 89 on Wed 12/22, same course. When I got to my car and took my spikes off, the sole of my left shoe was covered in dog s*** (I was in the left rough on #18, probably stepped in it there). Did I get mad? Nope, I just laughed and thought it was fitting end to a bad scoring day. Told my buddies over beers after the round, we all had a good laugh - that’s golf. It was a beautiful day, with good company.

Don't give up on it.  It will come when you least expect it.  Golf is a fickle game.  This year I shot scores just like you 76-90, but one day all parts of my game were working well, and I shot my age 74.  There... I met my goal!!  A few weeks later I shot 71 (-1).  I haven't come close to that since, but I know it's doable.  I'd like to break 70, but even if I don't the challenge will still be there, and I won't give up.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”

Broke 40 on the front 9 of my course, 39.  Then again my very next round.  Then shot a 45, and then a 38!  

Never put a sub 80 round together, but milestones nonetheless for 2021 🙂

I sank a 30-foot putt for the first time, on the 11th hole last Friday. I’m still in disbelief, but when I look at the scorecard it’s clear it gave me a big confidence boost. I two-putted the rest of the game.
