Today went to my go to coarse. Has 45 holes. Par is 72 on both 18s and a 36 par 9.
I played the blue coarse which is 18 par 72. Landed 15 fairways 10 greens in regulation which is the most I have ever done. 
Front 9 shot a 38 with a birdie on hole 2 and 5 pars.  
On the back 9 I shot only 3 pars and all the rest bogeys.
On 18 I had a 25' for put slight break left. And shorted it by a foot. That would have been my first 70s score ever (would have been a 79) but tapped it in for an 80.  And that has been my best round I have ever played.   I know for some of you an 80 is nothing to be proud of but for me it is and only playing seriously since the beguinin game of last year.  I'm extremely happy with how I played today.!

Congrats. Keep playing like that and your HC will go way down.

Congrats!!! Shooting an 80 was pivotal for my mindset when it came to playing. Def made me feel like I knew what I was doing compared to the average joe. 

 

Many best score is a 75 and I'm not sure I could ever do that again

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
