I Broke 80 Today for the First Time!

[Charlie Schurmer]

Today I shot a 75 at Soule Park Golf Course down in Ojai CA.  I’m a 15 year old on the Nordhoff golf team.  We practice at soule everyday.  

What I’ve been known for is going low on the front and choking on the back.  So I wanted that to change today.  
We had a 9 hole league match against 5 other teams and I played really solid.  I had 8 pars and one double bogey (38).  And also my good friend Dylan who is also 15 shot a 35 for the 9 hole tourney (he also hasn’t broken 80).  
So we both proceeded onto asking our coach if we could play the back.  He said yes and we were on.  
I birdied 3 holes on the back and ended up shooting a 37 on the back. So in total a 75.  My friend Dylan was choking really hard In the beginning of the back nine.  He was 1 under after 9 then he got up to 8 over through 14.  He now had to clutch up.  Which is exactly what he did.  He went 1 under through the next 4 to shoot 79.  So in the end it was a story book day.  We both broke 80 and were pretty stoked on it. (Also our team won the tourney which was a bonus) (extra bonus - it’s also pretty cool beating your friend who was 3 up after nine 😉  )

Yes, it sure does!

You didn't just break 80, you destroyed it! Nice round!

Congrats!  I love that course.  I've played it a few times.  My first memory of it was as about a 19 handicap, and our club had a tournament up there, and for some silly reason, everyone was told to play the black tees.  I tell you, hole 2 was awful for our flight (and everyone behind us).  We got it right in future tournaments  

Seriously, congrats both on your score and on being able to play that course regularly.  

Also... birdies on both the back nine par-3s.  Even sweeter.  I can still picture them both.  Hole 10 is gorgeous, I have a picture of it around here somewhere too.

(Just make sure you aren't aiming at the pins from that distance...   )
