Popular Post CWilson216 Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) This is the first year I started to play regularly and not just hitting up scrambles etc.... I don't want to say I jumped in with two feet, but I did! I replaced 20+ year old clubs back in October, bought a net for indoor use, a Mevo+ and began taking some lessons in March. I usually like to go out with my girlfriend and we usually only play 9 and the same for my father, he only likes to play 9. So until Sunday I have never played 18 except in fundraising scrambles. My girlfriend agreed to play with me and we traveled about 30 minutes to The Legends of Massillon. It was as hot and humid as it could be for the 4th of July in Ohio to say the the heat (and a little beer) got to me would be an understatement. However I held on and finished with what I would call a disappointing but decent for my first full round 95. I finished 17 and 18 (Par4s) with 6's after hitting two nice drives.....chipping killed me! I have been shooting 44-45 the last several 9's, so there is definitely more to be had. Plus the course we played I have not been to for several years. Not sure what else to add, I just wanted to share my first full round memory with the forum I have grown to love! Excited to push for 90!

revkev Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Congrats and thanks for sharing!!! I actually can still recall both the first time that I broke 50 for nine and 100 for 18. They were several years removed from one another because I didn't play a lot of golf in High School - I played baseball at a time when it was considered a detriment to hitting to also swing a golf club. Oddly I broke 90 the first time that I broke 100 for 18. I actually don't recall the first time that I broke 80. I do remember the first time that I broke par for 9 holes and shot even for 18. Don't remember the first time that I broke 70. Funny how that works. Good luck on your next conquest. We are travelling from Upstate New York, through Western PA and Eastern Ohio. It truly is hot and humid - Florida like if I dare say it.

CWilson216 Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) Well.... I knew that it could happen quickly, however 10 days...I will take it. Shot an 88 at my "home" course (Zoar) on my 2nd 18 holes of the year. Front was a little rough with a 46. I had two double bogeys and (2) 3 putts. The back went well and I haven't played 10-18 at this course in years. 42 on the back and should have been a stroke or two better! Hit a really nice drive on #10 that left me about 60yds out and I chunked my 58* wedge . Needless to say I also 3 putted after that. Still, it seems a positive attitude has helped along with LOTS of practice, lessons, new clubs and less drinking Man do I love this game!
