Scored Personal Best Today

Today marks a huge day in my golf history.  As a 20+ handicapper I have always looked at being a bogey golfer trying to be a consistent under 100 player.  Today in my work league I shot my personal 9 hole best of 41.  This is 6 strokes better than anything I have scored before.

I had 4 pars (with 3 in a row), 4 bogeys, which came after making a great chips / pitches and a two putt, and 1 double coming on the last hole with my only 3 putt of the day.

As a high handicapper this is a highlight of my golf history to date.  I did not make a huge amount of super awesome shots but I played within myself, trusted my short game (which was spot on today) and iron play, and did not make one bad game management decision.  This allowed me to get past 2 holes on this course which my previous average was a 8 on each (I bogeyed each of them today).

Just wanted to brag a little, thanks for reading.

That's a great feeling. I can't imagine that ever gets old, even as you become better.

I know what you mean about playing within your abilities. It seems like the best scores I've had came without any real spectacular shots. Just consistently making the ones I feel like I should be able to make.

Congratulations.

Nice.

Congratulations! Keep at it!

Let that become your new standard for a good round of golf! Congrats!

My personal best of all time was 39 on a par 35 9. That was years ago when I played several times a week. Something had clicked that day that I was never able to duplicate.... I hope you guys keep on doing what you did because it's an awesome feeling when you have a break through like that.

I had a personal best a few weeks ago...  I love this game.

2 days later I played the same course and shot one of my worst scores in quite a while... I hate this game.

3 Days after that, back to my typical score... I guess this game is OK.

I hope your next couple of rounds go better than mine did.
