Reached a Milestone in My Golf Development

I have been playing golf seriously now for about 3 years.  I am a high handicapier and shoot an average of about 55 for 9 holes and 115 - 120 for 18.  Today in my Monday night league I finally broke the 50 mark with a 48.  I was hitting the ball solidly and putting "straight lights out" as my buddy put it.  I only three putted once and sank several difficult puts to save par and bogey.  The two main highlights were I par'd two holes in a row and hit the pin with my 2nd shot on one hole from 191 yards out.  But the one thing I really am proud of was the way I bounced back from a bad hole.  I took a 8 on a par three but kept my chin up and made par on the next hole and finished with a bogey on a difficult final hole.  When I got into the club house after putting my clubs in my truck everyone in my league congratulated me on a well played round and really made me feel good (I am the last place man in the league and struggle a lot).  It is rounds like this that keep me going and want to get better.

Way too go man! Feels good to do better don't it?!

Congratulations!

Congrats, it feels good when all those range sessions start to pay off.

Lots of range time, putting at home, and reading.  One of the keys lately is I have been reading a lot of Dr. Bob Rotella.  Now that I am getting "mentally golf fit" my physical skills are coming through.

I hope that the positive performance becomes the norm rather than the unusual.  Good job!

Congratulations!  Good job.  Keep it up.

That's awesome that you didn't let a bad hole get to you. I have seen so many guys games go down hill after one bad hole.
