I finally broke 80 for the first time in my life and shot a 76. My previous best was an 82. Not only that, but I also broke 40 on 9 holes for the first time. I shot a 37 and 39! I can't wait to get back out there even though I'll probably shoot in the high 80's!

Congrats, I'm still searching for mine...

Congrats!

It's funny how when you break a score barrier, it seems like you do it by more than just 1. And in most cases people blow by their barriers in one really solid round.

That's awesome! Always great to shoot a new low!

Never broken 80 before. I shot an 83 back in November 2012 and then never came close again for about a year and a half. Then here are my last nine rounds:

83, 87, 87, 81, 83, 81, 86, 80, 83

I've been knocking on the door lately and hopefully I'll join the club soon!

Congrats bellco...It's an accomplishment which you should never forget!!

Also, isn't it funny that one can regularly post a 37 or a 38 on the front or back, and a 45 on the other side...then one day it all comes together and you don't just squeak by, you blown the doors down by several strokes?

Happened to me in the exact same manner.

Now, the only downside is knowing you can do it now, and the potential for improperly setting expectations within yourself (i.e. 85 is a failure). That's a tough hill to overcome.

Congrats. I'm still trying to break into that club.

Congrats! I know when it happened for me late last year I was pumped. Don't be discouraged if it doesn't happen next time out. Keep swinging and don't do what I did and take an extended leave from playing and lose your progress. I noticed even if I just go to the range once or twice a week, if I can't play, it helps keep your game consistent and moving in the right direction.

Major props! Keep it going!

Awesome feeling.

I've done it a few times. Definitely remember the first one.

Way to go , that's awesome ! You shot "Trombones" . Breaking 80 makes you an official playaah

36 on the front nine.
46 on the back nine.

Still stuck in the 80's.....

That's awesome! It's such a huge barrier to get over not waiting for the other shoe to drop (i.e. string of doubles/triples/worse). Now you have to go get that under par round! Go make some birdies.

Great round man!

My first time under 80 was a 79 on a course with a slope of 135, so I was pretty proud. The funny thing is I remember very little of it because I was playing with my daughter who was probably 7 or 8 at the time on the last day of a golf camp she had attended. I was just walking up, hitting my ball and then back to entertaining her. I made a long, curving putt on 18 for birdie and said: "I think I just shot 79" (had to add my score to be sure).

Her response: "cool. Let's go". THAT I remember.

I, too, have joined the club. White tees at Riverside in Grand Prairie . Had three birdies. Most I've had in one round.

Was about four inches from a hole in one. 159 yards with six iron. Can't wait to play again!!!
