Like the title says best round ever, but still on a quest to break 80. Shot an 80

To start off my index is a 12.9 and this is how the round began

Well i was playing with my younger brother (who is a scratch) so i guess he brings out the best in me.

bogey bogey to start. This is very typical of me.

Parred the next couple and then got my first EAGLE!!!! and followed that up with a birdie (very very unusual of me)

Parred the next 2 and then get to 9

A 180 yard par 3 over water.

And then my brother tells me i can shoot 1 under if i par. i think you know what happens next....

high fade into the drink!!, then another bad shot ended up taking a triple

Well the next 9 was not as exciting, but not too bad.

Get to 18 hardest hole on the course. Long dogleg right uphill

and once again my brother tells me if i par i shoot 78....

Pull my drive OB, ended up taking a double for an 80...i was so close.

I was happy but pissed that i coulda done much better. But i guess thats golf for ya.

I only get to play a couple of times a month. so i guess its not too bad

Congrats!

80 is SMOKIN'! Fun to do it with a bird and Eagle to boot.

It must be a good weekend for golf. I also hit my best, a 90 on a 135 slope track. The difference was that I was keeping score and REFUSED to look at the card until the end.

So... is your brother finding he is able to walk around ok with your club stuck up his ass?

sad thing is a few years ago i could whoop his ass on the course, but then he had to get a job on a golf course and become a club pro. Cant complain though, i play for free where ever i go with him!!

Taking a double with an OB off the tee isn’t bad. Essentially you pared the hole.

Nice 80 Justin.

Interesting when you say playing with your brother, a scratch handicap, brings the best out of you. Have you noticed you do anything different in terms of mental focus when playing with him?

Played 36 holes today, same front and back rotations for both. 106 on first with a birdie and two pars, and several tap in bogeys. Second 18, shot a 102. No birdies this time, but nothing higher than a 7 on any one hole. 102 is my personal best for 18, and 47 is my best for 9. Very happy with the way I played, and I look forward to breaking 100 within the next round or so. To some it might not seem like much of an achievement, but I'm happy, so I guess that's what playing this game is all about!

Nice 80 Justin.

i dont know what it is. I guess im just generally pretty happy when i get to play with him, which is not very often.

I must also add i have had some very bad rounds with him. Earlier in the summer i got the bad case of the shanks. On saturday i shot an 89 or something like that. Sunday a 123! Didnt matter what i did, shank, shank, shank
