Finally broke 90!!

[Dad-2-3]

After only getting serious about golf last year I shot 90 twice last year, but had never broken that mark. Today I shot an 87. I still need serious work on my game, but I'm getting there. Today I only hit 2 of 14 fairways, but I'm missing them so close to the edge it's not hurting me.......with the exception of two I hit OB. I did hit 7 GIR which is good for me, and the greens I'm missing are on the fringe or by 5-10 yards. 31 putts which is about average for me. The greens were recently punched and I did 3 putt twice which absolutely steams me. I left some shots out there with two tee balls OB and one insanely topped hybrid that traveled all of 30 yards. In my mind it should've been 7 shots better. But, at this stage I'll take it.

This round comes on the heels of some range work with the irons which has paid off.

Congrats man, I've only got one sub 90 round myself and it was on a very easy course, but it still felt great.

Sounds like you noticed the same thing I did after that round, you really didn't have to play a LOT better than your regular game, you just had to be more consistent at what you can already do. What I'm probably not saying very well is that I didn't suddenly add 10 to 20 yards to each of my clubs, or suddenly start dropping 20' putts, I just kept my ball in play and kept the 3 putts to a minimum.

Good luck, here's to a great start to what will hopefully be a great season!

Congrats! I started playing lasy July and shot an 89 a few weeks ago. Went out a few days later and shot an 95 but actually hit the ball better. Since, I've been trying to work a fade / slice out and haven't came close to anything in the 80's but hey, it's a work in progress! haha Congrats again!

Heck ya man! I got away from golf for a few years (didn't have the time to dedicate to it but I am back now) and I still remember the first sub 90 round it was magical and something you just have to go back to sometimes. It was hard after that because once I did it I had to get it out if my mind that I won't be down there every round.
