Just shot the round of my life. 67, including an Albatross

[kpaulhus]

Work has been busy and my buddy was bugging me all week to get out on the course today (like I dont play enough already).

At lunch yesterday I cancelled because I thought for sure I would be stuck in the office today. At 5pm I got it all sorted out so I could play this morning.

The usual, $20 match play event where I have to give up 14 shots. Need to shoot a good round to have a chance....but I had no idea how good it would be.

 

Then this happened. Par 5, Driver, 7 iron from 176 one hop and in the cup for an Albatross! 2 on a Par 5!

I was elated to say the least. My buddy and I drove closer to make sure it wasn't hiding behind the pin and it was actually in the hole!

Finished the front 9 with a 4 under par 32, my lowest 9 holes to date.

Then on the back I had a dumb bogey, an eagle, two birdies and finished with another dumb bogey where I had to punch out to the right of the green due to some trees. An even par back 9 for a 67. I ended up breaking even on my match play bet because he pressed me on the last hole and we both made bogey but he got a stroke. Oh well, I dont need his $20 to celebrate this round haha!

Some interesting strokes gained data from Game Golf. My Evolvr subscription is the best thing I've done for my golf game.

Great round! Nice to see hard work paying off. Congrats, Kyle.

Congrats, really interesting to see the strokes gained for a single round that featured that shot. Im guess though that even without that shot you were still shooting good.

Great round!  I'd have been pretty content with your buddies round.  I've got a long way to go before I see numbers that low on my score card.  Congrats

That is sweet!  An albatross and an eagle in same round has to be nice. Way to go.

I'm wondering. Do we have an Albatross emblem for the awards?

And congrats. Light up a good cigar to celebrate.
