Very excited! The round started with an errant tee shot, but I recovered with a one putt. It took me a couple of holes to straighten the driver out, then everything just when right. Smooth and easy. Fairways hit, greens in regulation, good chipping and four or five up and downs. I even had a chip in. Lots of pars and no birdies.

I started playing a year and one month ago. Not bad for a 50 year old guy. I've spent a lot of time working on my S&T; swing and even more time on chipping and putting (Utley books and Mickelson DVD).

Thanks for the many great tips from this site. Of course now I will expect this all the time.

Wow! Congratulations. I'm very jealous. I've been playing for several years and haven't hit that mark. It sounds like you'll be breaking 80 before long.

Well done that man! Hard (and smart) work pays off.

      Day 87 (27 Jul 25) - Made it an easy session with the wedge this afternoon, worked on staying in the shot and not lifting out - split between low spinners and higher floaters.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Shot my new low 72 (par 70) today. Had 5 birdies, also a new best, which included a hole out from the bunker on par 3 6th, and another hole out pitch from 15ish yards on the long par 4, 15th.  Got a couple of other good breaks. Except for an OB drive on 14th (and ensuing double bogey), not much went wrong. All in all I might have used up a year's worth of luck in a single day.

      Back in the saddle after vacation.  Day 1: played 18. Did not have it, but still battled to an 82. Felt closer to a 90, but that’s fine.

      Yes, I have seen this from the older crowd that play the 4,700 yard tees and want to know why they get less strokes from there. Always trying to game the system 🤣

      Day 300 - 2025-07-27 Good 44-ball segment. GSPro was acting goofy, so I just put it on the Quad. Then I hit a bunch of low spinners. Hit 14° down to 9.8° down, with the average closer to 12.3° or so. Focused mostly on the backswing. Right knee good, hands roll up and out a little before laying off (FAR).
