Booya! I Broke 90!

[TheNatural]

Yes I recorded an 89 today on a average difficulty course. Only had one bad drive off the toe for a 150 yds. No birdies, lots of pars and bogeys. This beats my best by 8 strokes Not one drop either. I am keeping the ball and the scorecard as reminders of this personal feat. 79 Here I come !!

btw the HC went from 22.8 to 22.5 with this one score.

off to google maps to see how far the drives went

Good for you!

Congrats... Now the long journey to 79 begins

Congrats man! I remember my first sub 90 round. Keep at it and 79 won't be far away!

[TheNatural]

Thanks fellas !

The best shot of the day was a 90 foot par saving putt. 43 front nine. 79 WAS ON MY MIND the par save was 10th hole.

wow - 8 stroke improvement in one round! It can be done!

Big congrats, Natural.

Have you been doing anything to improve your game that you think has led to the lower score?

[David in FL]

Congratulations......well done!



Just don't get frustrated if you don't immediately follow it up with another......they call it golf because all the good four letter words were already taken!

Yes, so glad you asked. This tip will be on the video "How to break 90 - For Dummies" No really, off the tee has been the demon. I have a HIGH SS and at times I look brilliant with 300+ drives. Lately it has been tops and hooks. Well today I did something a little different. At the tee in warm up swings I would take a full practice swing follow through and then full swing back then another and another. long broad practice swings frontward backward, It Helped! I hit higher launches and carries than ever! I decided to stick with it the entire round, I think it took me away from a sideways baseball swing, (hooks and tops were caused by this swing IMO) 1-5hole drives went 220, 280, 270, 270, 300, par 3 was a DB, then 200yds on apar 5 toed it. then back to 300. 10th hole topped it due a dogleg right with water, recovered at the green with my 90 ft putt. After that the drill worked EVERYTIME. I had to tone it down on 10 the water was a 250 yard drive so it messed the mechanics up a little. Did hook one at 11 for 220 but the others were all bombs. I also took care not to miss big on the green and lagged well for many 2 putts and a couple 1's. NO SNOWMEN either! I was hitting my 60* to the greens from 10 par 4's awesome club for me. If I drive like this today then it will continue to improve. the course is like a 70.5 120 6800 yard.

Congratulations. I struggled mightily with first breaking 90.
In fact. The first time I broke 90 I shot 84. I broke 80 only a month or so later. Way to go. keep it up.

A 90 footer? Niiiice!

[Troof.]

Thats a huge improvement over your previous best! Congrats, now spend a little more time chipping and putting

[uttexas]

Damn dude... thats not the putt of the day, thats a putt of the year. Nice job on takin that one down (Betcha Perry wishes he could have taken one of those down yesterday).

Keep it up

[Pinseeker81]

Grats man! I'm hoping to do that in the next few weeks myself.

[Comeback City]

First off congrats.

Second...how do you try and get yardage distances off of Google Maps? I typically estimate given the yardages markers but obviously they're just ballpark figures...

[johnL7]

Nice job!
Now the next step is shooting that sub-90 score more often and then progressing to breaking 80.

Congratulations !!!
