Sadly, the golf season is winding down in my neck of the woods. I often think of the end of October as the sunset of the real golfing season here in the high elevation of Utah. It would be fun to hear the notable golfing achievements of THPers.
I had two goals for the 2018 season:
1. Lower my handicap to 4.
I ended last season at about a 6. I wanted to lower my handicap by 2 strokes this year. As of today, I am a 4.1, close enough. The biggest improvement I saw this year was that my consistency improved and I shot many rounds in the 74 to 76 range. I felt really good about my improvement.
2. Shoot under par for 18, something I have never done.
I shot even par twice this season, a 71 and a 72. The 71 should have been a 70. I was one under on number 18, which was an uphill, 300 yard par 4. Pull a hybrid or fairway wood and it is a little wedge in for an easy par. However, I got greedy, thinking if I birdied the hole, I would break 70. I pulled driver, hung it right into the trees and bogeyed the hole to shoot 71. Lesson learned for the hundredth time. One day I will do it.
Let’s hear your personal victories!
