Best round ever!

Just got back from shooting 83 on a decently hard course (70.6/118, 6400yd). That is my best ever by 2 strokes and I felt like I played a complete game - drove decently (though not as good as last time), chipped well, putted well, and hit some solid approaches. Lost 2 balls in the water, but both on par 5's where I got away with bogey.

Last week I played and shot an 89 on a harder course, and I think I actually hit the ball better then, but I putted awful. Today I made 3 putts outside of 10 feet and only missed 1 inside 5, much much better. I got pretty nervous last week on the greens when I realized how well I was hitting it, today not until the last 2 holes (went out bogey, double, which kinda sucks). I think the round today showed me how important the short game is because my long game was actually a little worse but I scored 6 strokes better.

I love the new driver - so far in 2 rounds I have only hit one out of play - and that was a long drive that trickled into water on a par 5 so I still got out with a bogey. So much more in control than my old one which had a regular flex shaft.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's a fairly easy course. But congrats anyways. That's 7 strokes better than my best ever.

Compared to most of the goat tracks I play it is. I don't like to play from the back tees, its just no fun hitting 3w or hybrid on every hole.

Good Job! I think I had a 98 but 73 139 6400 ish?

We had to wait a little on the tee on 17 (170 par 3 into 10-15mph wind) so I added my score and realized that if I went out -1 I could shoot 79. I smoked a 4h to about 20 feet and leave my birdie putt 6 feet short - 3 putt. Then on 18 (long par 4 into the wind) I hit a good drive in the fairway and had about 170 in, but pushed my approach so I was chipping from the right front and pin was left front with a bunker in between (kidney bean shaped green). Didn't want to be too aggressive so I chipped it long and right to the back fringe and chipped again to 6 feet and 2-putted for double, so I left a whole lot on the table in just the last two holes. Just need to get those nerves under control and I think I can actually break 80.
