WOOOOOO so hyped after todays round!

[TheRichie]

weekly quid a man stableford round,

this morning things wernt going right and continued on the first tee which dived into the water on the left, dropped a ball and scored 8 on the opening hole which is a par4

then it all changed, i cant explain it things just clicked, i was hitting my irons so sweet, putting was on line,

ok i didnt score any birdies had a cpl of chances but the story of the day was bogeys i have never hit so many

2,3,4 all bogeys 5 i holed for par, 6,7,8,9 all bogeys 10th i missed bogey every so slihtly and shot a double, and bogied the 11th

12th hole par 3 173yds, didnt get to the green until my 4th shot and 2 putted for 3 over! i was wondering when i would imploded, but i stuck in there and forgot which is hard for me, it worked as i pared the 13th narrowly missing birdie, 14th i doubled bogied, then finished out the remaining holes with a bogie!

ok it doesnt make great reading score wise but to me and others that have been here for the first time its fantastic!! shot my best round ever and broke a 100 by shooting 95!

im soo ecstatic right now!

also playing of 22 as i haven't an official handicap yet i scored another PB by bagging 35points,

so 3rd card is in to be processed pay my joining fees next week will soon have an offcial HC

Is that your first time breaking 100? If so congrats on popping your cherry with 4 strokes to spare. Otherwise congrats on your best round yet. Keep working at your game and you will be sub 90 in no time.

thanks, i needed a new sport after playing AF for 6 years, wasnt fair on the wife or kids to keep getting hurt, concussions on crutches for cpl weeks so made a decision to find a new sport with less chance of injury, and have always wanted to play golf, so jumped strait in, i have a very addictive and stubborn personality, and loves a challenge, and golf is perfect for me, fell in love and tottaly addicted to the game!

I think you may have robbed yourself in the stableford. If that was the first time you broke 100, you would be off at best 27 (is that the limit over there?), so i reckon you've had at least 40 points.

You're doing good....

So when you say AF, I think arena football in the US....but since you live in the UK, I don't really know what that means.  Is that what we yankees call Rugby?

Same here.

To OP: Congrats and keep up the good work!

I remember the first time I broke 100.   I had been just hacking around for about a year and decided I wasn't smart enough to go it alone, so I took a lesson.  Went to the course and shot a 99 and played the same ball for the entire round.  In those days, I would have at minimum a dozen golf balls in my bag because anything less than that I ran the risk of not having enough "ammo" to finish the round.  I was so happy I called my instructor as soon as I left the golf course.

Since then, I've gone on to break 90 and then 80.  Truth be told, while those gave me a good feeling, for some reason, breaking 100 seemed to give me the greatest sense of accomplishment.

Ya know whats funny is I remember the first time I broke 100 but I can't remember the first time I broke 90 or 80. It was late in the year and getting cold at the very end of my first year of playing.  I've been close several times, but always choked......  IE.....needing only bogey on 18 to shoot 99 and making a double....stuff like that!!  hahahaha.... The first time I broke 100....I crushed it by shooting 93.   In my second year, I was pretty much solid in the 90's and started cracking the 80's.

Aaaah yes...I've played with some pro football players....  the "skilled player" positions definitely do better on average!!   I live in KC and have played with some of the Chiefs....
the "big uglies" tend to struggle on the links....LOL
