Game of my life...

Congrats.  Breaking 80 is a huge milestone.  One many of us might not reach in a lifetime.  Not to highjack your thread, but here's two quick ones about coming close:

Played and 18 hole round that included 16 pars and two QUAD bogies for an even 80!

Playing with some friends a couple seasons ago.  Upon reaching the 12th tee, a really difficult par-3, my buddy says, "Damn, Dave, do you know you're 1 under right now?"  That was all she wrote.  Nothing but ugly followed and finished with an 83.

Who knows.  Maybe I'll catch lightening in a bottle for an entire round and shoot 77-79.  Would be nice to break 80 ONCE!!!

Cheers on your good round, mate.

Well, 11 months into this great ride, I finally broke into the 80's!!!! However it is a little bitter sweet, due to a significant melt down on the last three holes. I had a 65 with three left!!!! Great drive off tee at 16, left my approach a little short into a deeeeep greenside bunker. I am usually pretty decent in the sand, but it took me 4 to get out. Two putt for an 8. 17, I hook left out of bounds, bounce all around this hole for another 8...aaarrrgh!!! Par 5 18 into the water off the tee, couple of crappy iron shots and two putt for a 7. Total score 88.

Here are the highlights.

3 over 39 on the front 9

125 out PW hole out for Eagle on 9. Couldn't see it go in because of a two level green. buddies played it off like I went past into the water. after milling around a little, I found it...in the cup!!!!

14 Fairways or GIR

34 putts (last week 43)

So, there you are...big choke down the stretch, but I am still super excited to finally reach this goal!!!

Congrats Joe! You will forget the last three holes but you will remember the hole out from 125 forever.

[Hey Joe]

Sorry for the confusion on the GIR. I was refering to fairways off the tee for a par 4/5 and hitting the green on par 3's. Hope that clears it up.

Right haha, that's very different to 14 GIR but still a very good accomplishment. You must have been on fire with your driver!
