Broke 90 today : )

[tws1098]

Had a great round today despite poison ivy all over my hands : / maybe it kept my focus off my swing and just let me hit the ball. I had several realllly nice shots. I am typically reserved but I feel that at least a couple of the shots were scratch player good. I made a 30 foot putt to save par and had, no lie, either 4 or 5 birdie putts...all of which lipped out. Not once was I mad though, because my putting was awesome. My chipping was much improved as well. My driver let me down a bit but I did learn something about it today. I need a stiff shaft... I hit my uncle's burner with a stiff shaft and both drives were on a rope and slightly farther instead of a fade at best and slice at worst.

I had a 45 on the front (par 35) and a 42 on the back (par 37) for an 87. I had a blow up hole on the front and back (a 7 on the front and an 8 on the back...both on par 4s). I am excited to think about my future rounds if I can eliminate those holes. Bogeys on both those holes would havedropped my score to a nice 82.

All in all it was a fantastic day, I actually looked like I knew what I was doing. But I have to remember that I have only been playing for a short time and consistency will ocme with more rounds.

Seems we are in the same boat, managed to break 90 in two consecutive rounds this week (86 and 89). I played really good for the 86 but felt like I was 10 over par for the 89, couldn't putt at all! It's a good feeling when all the practice starts to show itself on the course! Keep at it!

Poison Ivy on your hands, that would drive me nuts, probably unable to putt good..

Congrats on breaking 90, now its time to work down to 80...

To do that, elimate all lost balls, penalties, ect, and try to hit a few more GIR's...

Yeah, I hit two into water, saved par on one and bogey on the other, so it could have been worse. Those were my only penalties. GIRs were pretty good, but could certaintly improve. The blow up holes killed me though.

dang--now i think you should rub poison ivy on your hands before EVERY round.

haha, nooo way. It feels worse yet today. I will be going out to my home made driving range today anyway...no pain no gain, right?

[Shanker]

One of my goals to do....Congratulations...!

[B-Con]

Congratulations. May you have many more sub-90 rounds.

[Breaking 80]

Congrats to both of you on breaking 90. I was on track for breaking 90 today, but my blow-up holes were 17 and 18 unfortunately. I dropped 6 strokes on those two holes to finish with a 95.

Great job! I'm still working on this goal. Hope you have many more sub 90 rounds.

Thanks a lot guys! Several days later now, I have yet to be back out o the course (stupid poison). But I am feeling much better today and will be out on the range tonight (hitting new drivers! - see thread in equipment section). Hopefully I can go out and back up my latest round with another good one this weekend.
