Broke 70!!!

[hoser]

One of my goals for the year was to break 70 and I achieved it yesterday with a 69 on my home course. Its a par 70 and I had a 35 on the front and 34 on the back.

Highlights
1 eagle
6 birdies
-5 on the Par 5s
+1 on the Par 3s

Low lights
+3 on Par 4s including 2 bogeys, 2 double bogeys and 3 birdies
Missed a 8 foot birdie putt on 14
Missed a 5 foot birdie putt on 17 (nerves)
Drove into the trees on 18 and then proceeded to 3 putt for bogey (nerves)

I scrambled my butt off for the entire round, so it certainly didn't feel like a stellar performance. I was a little surprised that my score affected my game the way it did on the closing holes. This year I've tried hard to immerse myself in my routine but wow, I was pretty shaky on the last 2 holes.

Nonetheless, pretty stoked today! I was a 19 handicap 2 years ago, so lots of hard work has paid off!

If you are a 7.0 handicap like what you have listed, that sure is a damn good accomplishment. Not only that but you had two double-bogies yet still kept your cool instead of blowing up after them. Way to go!!!!

That's ridiculous. I can't believe people shoot under par. Congratulations!
