Finally broke 80 today!

[jfhasson]

On the third day of my golf vacation. I started out with a 40 on the front nine so the possibility is already in the back of my mind. I played about the same until I birdied the par 3 15th. Now I'm really thinking about it. The 16th knocked me down a notch when I three put for my only double bogey of the round. Had a sand save on the 17th. It all came down to the par 5 18th. I knew I had to birdie to break 80. On my third shot I spent about a min. talking to my gap wedge. I hit it to within three feet and made the put for a 79. All in all I had 3 birdies, 5 pars, 8 bogeys, and one double. I hit 9/14 fairways, 7 G.I.R., got up and down 3 times, and had 32 putts. A penalty on the first hole and two 3 putts, but what a day.

Welcome to the club, I just did the same last week......now life is really gonna be tough living up to that, LOL.......Scared to play again. Played monday and shot an 81 so not too bad. started off with 2-3 putts so I was a bit rusty you might say!

Congratulations. I'm still on the outside looking in. I've scared the 70s a couple of times, but always managed to let it slip away.

+1 I played the first nine in 38 about a month ago and have had numerous 40's for nine, but have always managed to implode on the back nine.

Congrats again

@ bwdial: Have you played Silver Lakes? I think it will be my next stop on the RTJ Golf Trail.

Yes, but it was fourteen years ago... and they had just aerated the fairways, so it was like there were a million and a half little turds all over the fairways. That kind of ruined the experience for me. The two Trail courses I've played the most are down in your neck of the woods... Capitol Hill and Grand National.

The GW shot was roughly 70 yards. I'll take all the luck I can get on the golf course.

These are the only two I have played so far. Looking to take in a few more though.

17 hole course? :)

I realized my mistake after it was too late to edit my post. Checked the scorecard again, and it should have been 6 pars instead of 5. I knew it wouldn't be long before someone called me out on it.
