Very nice,

My HC is actually the exact same as the one for your profile so I was wondering about your round. My goal is to break 80 this year.

68.6/117

It is sort of an easy course plus my scores earlier this year were 10-15 strokes higher. My handicap has dropped by 4 in like 3 rounds.

Congrats man! I'm still hunting for my first sub 80 round. 81 and 83 are my closest. And the in the round I shot 83, I played the first 4 holes even, then triple bogey. Then the back 9 I played 5 holes to even par then double bogey.

Yeah I only had one double bogey the whole round. That was really why I shot so low, I usually have a lot of pars and birdies and then I triple a hole. The reason I got a double is because of how slow the people were playing in front of me, my temper got the best of me.

My triples must have been brain farts because we were the only ones in sight.

Everyone has them at times, Even Tiger makes doubles and triples every now and then.

Hopefully I can join you soon in the under 70 crowd. 82 is my best so far.

That seems a bit ... uh ... aggressive to go from 82 to 69. Perhaps you meant under 80?

But it does make me wonder: once a person hits 79, what is the next number to shoot for, dream about, obsess about?

Well, done the confidence gained from "being there" will be huge. You will probably break 80 many many more times in the next few months.

Keep it going.

    • I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.
    • Day 11: Putts with a metronome and worked on some feels for greenside shots.
    • I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well. 
    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good.
