I finally made it into the 70's today. Shot a 74. Best up until today was a 80. I didn't miss a fairway all day and hit something like 80% greens in reg. Really made me realize how you keep it in play and limit errant tee shots you can play some good golf if you putt decent.

I made some big par save putts and had a chip in birdie which helped. Also missed a 7 foot eagle putt which was very malleable which pisses me off some.

I never would've thought my first round in the seventies would be that low. Crazy.

FWIW it was at shadowglen in manor. Course was actually playing pretty firm and fast considering all the rain as of late


Will try and not be too pissed when I shot 100+ next round lol

Congrats....

See you on the F GOLF thread in the next week or so.

...and so it begins.

Your right OP about driving the ball in play. Everyone makes a big deal about chipping and putting, but good position off the tee is step one in breaking 80. I can bad putt my way to a 78 but I can bad drive my way to an 85.


Congrats. And I am sure you will be resurrecting the F golf thread for us soon.
