I'm 64, so this was a long time coming, shot 79 today. I've been taking lessons all summer. Kudos to my local pro, Kyle. Thanks.

I had my first ever eagle on the par 5 12th of a course local to me.  Needing 3 iron off of the tee to avoid the meandering lake that crosses the fairway twice, I was left with 216yd into the flag.  I pulled my 3 hybrid and striped a beauty of a fade to 3 feet.  Hardest 3 footer of my life but it dropped.

I apologize, everyone, I'd not seen this topic in awhile. (It's tough to give awards on my phone, and by the time I was back on a computer the post had slid down a bit.) Better late than never!

Finally broke 80 today (78 at Plum Creek in Co)

Came out of nowhere since I've been very inconsistent this year and my index had crept up 1.6

Also... with 2 unplayables, 2 three putts and a missed 3 footer I really felt like I left shots out there.

I also have an eagle I've never claimed

Got them both for you, great job!

The first is always the best. 🙂

Have broken 100 many times (never 90), but hadn't played since 2011 until this year. Shot a 98 last week, my low round of the year (sadly) 

I've had 1 eagle in my life.

Broke 90 because of a great second half.  Started off wobbly with a double bogie followed by a few single bogies.  Wedges did not want to play for the first few holes.

Good job. You just got your Broke 100 award and now it's already been retired.

I’m pretty new here but I’ve just figured out how to claim an achievement. I’ve broken 80 several times on several courses. Yesterday and today I went 74/77. That’s my home course. Shot a 72, 70, and 78 on 3 other courses this season. Broke 80 back in high school in the fall of 96 on my high school course.

No sir. The 70 was even. I had a -1/+1 that day so I broke par on the front only. My 72 was also a or 70. Home course is a par 72. My 37/37 yesterday is my best there.

I broke 100 earlier this year, and yesterday I broke 90 for the first time. I shot an 88 at Bartley Cavanaugh in Sacramento. 6 pars, 10 bogeys, and only 2 blowup 8s.

My lessons (and practice routine) have been working wonders. In my least lesson, my coach got me to change from a strong grip to a neutral grip, and I have been hitting the ball straighter and further than I ever dreamed was possible.
