I posted my personal best round... 2 days in a row

[Lebowski]

I was pretty pumped to shoot my best ever round earlier this week by finally breaking par for the first time and shooting a 69(-1). Although the course was by no means difficult, it was not a complete joke at 6300yrds par 70. I was so enthused from shooting my personal best round that I decided to play the very next day on a different course and was able to shoot a 68(-2). That round was played on a 6200yrd par70 track. I can say without a doubt that I can credit these rounds to extra practice that I put into my short game. I didn't put in a ton of hours, but just a few mins practicing my putting before rounds and even chipping on the lawn at home.

I kept some statistics on my 2nd round of 68 and it tells the story of how my round went. My ball-striking was average at best, but my putting/chipping were much better then they have ever been. My round consisted of 1 double bogey, 2 bogeys, 9 pars and 6 birdies.

G.I.R - 11 of 18 61%
Fairways - 8 of 12 67%
Total Putts - 27
3 Putts - 0
Penalty Strokes - 1

I would recommend to anyone trying to breakthrough a plateau to work on their short game to shave off those last few strokes. I know it was the key for me and I will now practice my short game more then my long game (which needs improvement )

Nice job! Not long courses but still very impressive. I look forward to the day I score like that.
