Trying To Break 90 Club

Congrats, gcruz!
 
Shot 94 on a Par 71 yesterday...annoyingly, I could've easily broken 90. Triple bogeyed two par 3s and had two 20 foot putts for par lip out :angry:

keep at it, you are getting close!

those triple bogeys are your ennemy, did you get a penalty? had trouble getting out bunkers?

I miss-hit my tee shots both times and ended up short in bad places. One to the edge of a ditch and the other right behind a tree. Need to work on hitting irons straight off the tee.
 
Last year was the first time I hit that sweet sweet 88! Part 71 course. Finished with a birdie too! Hoping to hit 85 this year.

Finally, I broke 90 today. Shot 46 on the front 9 and I thought I wasn't going to break 90 at all as I usually play the back 9 worse. Only hit 1 fairway on the front 9 and shot 3 over on one of the par 3s but I did chip in for a birdie on one of the holes. Played the back 9 was way better. Hit 5/7 fairways. and no blowouts at all although putting could have been better. Shot 42 for a total of 88.

Good to read a success story. Nice job. One of my goals for 2014 is to break 90. I've played 2 rounds so far for 92 and 95. Hope this Sunday will be a step in the right direction.
 
Getting so close. Shot 91 today. I finished really strong shooting par on 3 of the last 4 holes, and the other hole was an acceptable bogey.

I FINALLY DID IT.

88 at Eagle Glen. 44 per side.

My putting was still terrible. 41 putts total....including a missed 4' for birdie. Ugggh. But I made a 20' on the par 5 18th for bird to seal the deal!!

the other stats also helped make it happen:

12/14 fairways
10 GIRs
Only 1 penalty
No triple bogies
No bunkers

It feels so great. If only my putting was in order....

I suppose I should check in here since I'm in the 90s most of the time now and am trying to get into the 80s. My last round was a 94 on my 70.5/123 home course. That round included a triple on a par 5 and a triple on a par 3. my PB is a 91 on a 67.5/119 course which works out to almost the exact same diff, although neither of those rounds is on my handicap yet and the PB was before I started tracking my cap. GHIN says it's trending to a 20.7... depending on how much golf I get to play over the next few weeks that might change.

my goals for 2014 are to break 90, get to a 15 HCP or better, shoot one side in the 30s, and to have a double-bogey-free round. Not necessarily in that order :)

Big congratulations!
 
I had a 89 on the weekend 42 on the front and a 47 on the back but I must say that it started raining on the 10th hole and just got worse so by the 18th everything was wet including me, so the 47 was a good score. I ended up runner up for the day with a 68 nett got beaten by 1 stroke by a guy who played in the morning with no rain, everyone who played in the afternoon didnt score to well so I was really happy with the 89 considering the conditions.

well done!
 
Once I eventually manage to get out on the course, 90 is my first target of the year seeing as I was hovering around 16/17 handicap at the end of last year....not sure when it will be managed as the courses round here are still extremely wet with all of the rain we have had

I won't argue with that point :D

But trying to walk round a golf course where you are up to your ankles in standing water at times isn't my idea of fun so I will pass for now

As usual at the beginning of the season, I am in this club. Two rounds in California last week, and I shot 51/45-96 in each round. Haven't played in Kansas City yet in 2014.

FANTASTIC....Congratulations, What a milestone breaker....Now your mission is clear.....BREAK 80,
Believe it or not it was easier for me to break 80 than it was to break 90....I'm Proud of you :joy::joy::joy:
 
I'm going to join this club too.
So far this year I have shot 95, 93, 102, 99, 92. I ordered the tour academy home edition and I am starting it next week. Once I get into the 80's consistently I will get fitted for clubs and shoot for lower scores.

Yeah I figured ordering clubs to fit my current swing and then changing/fixing my swing would not be a good idea. I've played with the same irons since 2005 so what's a little longer gonna hurt. I did however just order a Vokey VM4 58/9 wedge to replace my crappy Walmart sand wedge with graphite shaft.

My best round to date is a 78 with a few rounds in the 80s but I haven't felt comfortable with my game for the last 2 or so years. The potential is there i just never took it seriously enough to seek help. Being self taught isn't bad but you do develop some bad habits, and I hope to break them and the 90s. I watched the 1st video of the Tour Academy and I will actually start on Monday. I'm playing a round with my buddy on Sunday who is a scratch golfer and a great guy, he is the one that has pushed me to better my game.

i was surprised today by my Vokey 58 so I will get to use it this weekend and I can't wait.
