I finally broke 100 after starting at the end of last season I thought that it would be at least the middle of this season before I broke 100, but I did today, shot 52 on the front and 43 on the back, only had 14 putts on the back 9 :) Super excited now, but I know that I just gotta keep at it so I can eventually break 90 and hopefully even 80!!!

Congrats man! I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it's harder to get from 100 to 90 than it is to get from 110 to 100 and it's harder to get from 90 to 80 than it is to get from 100 to 90. Just my opinion. But enjoy getting in the double digits right now, you can worry about those others later. Double digit golf is good golfing.

Yup, I was so excited that I 3 putted the last hole when in all honesty I should have two putted it haha. I'm the first of my three golfing buddies to break 100 so they were all pretty excited(I only played as a single today though). Hopefully next time we go I will have a repeat performance so I can show them haha :)

The avg. golfer's score is 100, so keep working at it and you will soon be an above average golfer. My advice to you is to really focus on your putting, chipping, and shots from 60yds and closer. You get better at these shots and your scores will really start to go low.

Well done mate, I broke 90 the same time I broke 100, I had never shot under 100 before and shot an 89 so killed two birds with 1 stone, that was in June 2008.

To date I still have not broke 80, my lowest score is an 85 at my old club and an 86 on my current championship course.

Some people say that breaking 100 is easier than breaking 90, but I disagree. While I will admit that after breaking 90, it gets much tougher to improve and breaking 80 is MUCH more difficult than breaking 90, I would say that to break 90 (just once, I am not speaking to repeatably breaking 90, that is different) is easier than breaking 100 for the first time.

I believe that you have to have solid fundamentals to break 100. You have to understand the game, and have a somewhat consistant swing to break 100. Many weekend hacks never legitmatley break 100 because they lack the time, patience, effort, etc to dedicate to the game.

Breaking 100 is a major milestone, and I would go as far to say that breaking 90 by contrast is not as important. 100, 80, even par, are probably the 3 major golf milestones (as I see it)

Congrats again.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Thanks guys! And to add to it, I keep score honestly and legitimately scoring everything.(some of my playing partners occasionally take a drop at no penalty etc.), but I decided when I first started that I wasn't going to take free shots because I didn't want to cheapen the experience of reaching these milestones. On a different note, went to the driving range today and was skulling the ball and sending it either hurtling left or right...oh how golf keeps one humble :)

Hey congratulations that's great. My first major goal in golf is to break 100 as well. I guess my second is to go a round without losing any balls! I suppose the two might go hand-in-hand!

Congrats. I was pretty pumped when i shot my lowest round last month. I started out Birdie Birdie Par. Ended up shooting 37 on the front, my best 9 hole score yet, with only 12 putts. Then my back 9 was a 45 with 19 putts lol...

      I would agree with your assessment here. How are you at picking targets? Are you still aiming for the biggest part of the green or do you start flag hunting with a wedge in your hands? I don't really use this one. I would think that's a pretty good assumption, unless you have some weird combination of terrible from inside of 25 yards from the fairway and excellent from outside of 25 yards to offset that somehow, that it's primarily your short game from the rough that needs improvement. You can also go to the proximity by lie/distance breakdown in the overview tab to see more. For example, my SG stats look like this for the short game: But if you go to the proximity page, it paints a clearer picture. Don't forget you can hover over the bars on the graph to see how many you have taken from that lie. My short game inside of 25 yards isn't actually as bad as the SG stat would indicate, but it's completely skewed by my ineptitude out of greenside bunkers. Out of 101 shots overall inside of 25 yards, 22 of them were from the bunker. Many of them from the same bunker. Repeatedly. If you look at a glance at my 25-50 yard proximity stats, you might think it's the same issue, but it's not. Out of 41 shots overall, only 4 were from bunkers there, so that's not affecting the overall numbers too much. Same with the fairway stats, it looks like I do pretty well from the fairway from 25-50 yards out, but n=3. Not statistically significant.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      Shot a 37 with two birdies. 2 highlights which came on the same hole.  Had a 297 yard drive which set me up for a nice approach on my  nemesis hole which I walked off with a birdie. Previous best for ages was a bogey on that hole.  2 more added to the birdie challenge.

      I can just see Norman rushing in to LIV admin building with his silly shark hat gleaming to the Saudis, ‘ Gentleman! Have I got a great idea! Let’s have our OWN golf courses…like American football and NBA Does! It’ll really grow the game!’ He rushes out as the Saudis give him their encouragement. As the door closes and before the smell of Greg’s Brut cologne has even dissipated, they all laugh hysterically.
