I broke 80 5 times last season and exactly 80 5 times. Hoping to improve my GIRs this year with a goal to double that number to 10 sub 80 rounds this year.

41/38 yesterday
even thru 15 on the back nine then bogey, bogey … had to grind out an up and down from over a back pin on 18.
This is exactly what happened last time. When I occasionally break 80 it’s by the skin of my teeth.
It sounds like your current tees are still fine if you are matching long hitter's HC but have a different game. Being solid if not deadly with longer clubs is a great skill, then add a good short game and you are in a good spot for...ever, really. Long par 4's can be a bear to overcome but capitalize on other holes where possible. It sounds like you will add to your sub 80 collection soonI've only broken 80 twice this year in 50+ rounds. It all comes down to the short game (chipping and putting). I play from 6250 yards and there are several holes on our course I cannot reach in two shots. I could move up a set of tees, but I'm in a weird situation with my regular group. Our handicaps are all around 12 from the tees we play. If I move up my hdcp goes to 10. Two of the guys outdrive me by thirty to fifty yards and moving up means I have to give them strokes on the longest holes. It's kind of a no win situation at the moment.
Anyway, I plan to work hard on my short game and try to turn those 83s into 78s.
Thanks for the encouraging words. I've had a lot of 38s and 39s on our front nine only to finish with 42 to 44. I think I just need to forget about my score and focus on the old "one shot at a time" method. It always seems to work.It sounds like your current tees are still fine if you are matching long hitter's HC but have a different game.

Your probably closer than you think .Breaking 80 is my goal this year. My PB last year was a 78, at a course that I played often.... so why break 80?
I want to break 80 at a course that I don't play frequently. I dont care where it is, when it is, or how I do it lol.
For reference, at the other courses I play, I believe the PB is an 82... so I am close, but how close?
This season's start has been rough, going 91/91/90/91 to open. Fighting my game everywhere, the pressure of Grandaddy prep probably making me squeeze things too tight.
I figure I have been close, just time away from golf in spurts hurts me a lot. Hard to play well with little repetition, and constantly losing feel inside 100.Your probably closer than you think .
It's pretty interesting how a couple of different decisions can turn a round in the 90s into one in the 80s or better quickly. You'll get there this year, and there's lots of time to prep before December!I figure I have been close, just time away from golf in spurts hurts me a lot.

Shots inside 100 yards are very tough. Planning to get up and down from that distance is still just a dream. Given a par 3 from 100 yards and bogie is still not fully out of the equation. I think the next step once you can find the green is to focus on hitting the correct side of the green; being below the hole, missing where there is more green to hit, etc.I figure I have been close, just time away from golf in spurts hurts me a lot.

So far I’ve got 6 sub 80 rounds this year and 5 rounds at 80. Playing my best golf ever and index has dropped to 7.0 from 10.4 at the beginning of the year. I believe I’ll reach my goal of 10 sub 80 rounds.I broke 80 5 times last season and exactly 80 5 times.
