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!!!

Joe

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

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!

      Day 4, 1/2/26.  Played 18 today;  didn't get a chance to warm up (had I known the range was closed, I'd have hit balls at home first).  Played okay, 92 with three balls in the water.  It was raining for more than half the round and I didn't quite appreciate before today just how much I benefit from roll on both drives and approach shots.  I did not adapt well to this change until about hole 15, which is something I have to figure out.

      Day 459 - 2026-01-02 Had two guys on GEARS Hybrid, so I hopped on afterward (I'm going to do this a lot more often now). So… I've signed myself up for another month of backswing work in two ways: A little more extension of the trail elbow (got into the upper 90s) Less pelvis turn (low 50s).

      Day 31 (2 Jan 26) - Usual Friday men’s group shootout - good day of shot making  as most shots were right on line to the target point.  Putter and green reads were solid with some great par saves and a really tricky birdie.
