Broke 40 on 9 holes!

[Jasonbolt]

Finally broke 40 today on 9 holes ( wish i had more time to play all 18)

Here's the stats.

FIR - 7/7

GIR - 4/9

Putts - 14

Scram - 3/5

Score - 38

Par 36 course 3100 yards

I was even going into the last hole and double bogeyed it for a 38.  Oh well... Still happy about breaking 40 :)

This statistic is really true! ( to break 80 you have to hit 10/18 GIR, and putt no more than 32 times.)

Started keeping track of my FIR/GIR/putts/Scrambles - Tells you what part of your game you need to work on!

Congrats! It is nice to complete a milestone like that

I got one of those notebooks for keeping track of those stats today, and I'm looking forward to some real stats on my own game to try and round out the card a bit in that dept.

Good job man! Although 9 holes seems like such a tease in a way (I shot a 44 on one 9 but still shot over 100 for 18, go figure ).

[Splifton]

Good job.  With 14 putts for 9, it looks as if your putting was on.  Keep up the good work

[Jasonbolt]

iPutt - That can definitely happen if eat eat the wrong thing, or get fatigued...  Do you usually do better of worse after the front nine? i find that i usually shoot the back nine 1-4 strokes better than the front.  Probably because I'm warmed up and loose.

Splifton - My putting was on fire! Before the round i really focused on my wedge game, and sinking 10 footers on the practice green.

Nice work, congrats!

That actually was on the back nine, just got on a roll I guess. Great job again though, great to prove to yourself what you can do if everything comes together.

Great job, breaking 80 was a huge mental block for me, I used to hit 12-14 GIR and still shoot over 80.  It was all mental, after I broke 80 one time, I didn't shoot over 80 for the next 3 months!!!!  Hope that inspires you.  Get your GIR up and you will really be rocking it!

Nice Work! Congratulations.

Congrats!  I've never shot better than 81 before. so keep it up.

[Smooth]

Congrats! keep it up

[Todd Ruggere]

Congrats! Now put 2 nines together and break 80!

I beat you there, I have broken 80, 4 times over 8 years. The first time it was a freak game, I didn't have a handicap, but breaking 100 was a good day for me at the time - so breaking 80 was just weird.The last three were over the last three years, once per year each year. I have lots of 80's and 81's in the system but breaking 8-0 on a regular basis still alludes me.

Well done, Jasonbolt! As someone who first broke 40 on 9 this past year myself (also with a 38) I can attest to the confidence it brings. I just hope I didn't rust-over too much during the long winter...
