FreddieMac;n8874789 said:Well, my goal my first time out a month ago was to break 100 and I shot a 97. I had not really swung a club in 8 years. So now I moved to breaking 90. It was way to hot in BR Saturday to play a full 18 so I went out to get 9 holes. Par 36 out and I shot a 46. I hit 4 greens in reg but went bogey, bogey, par, and par (two three putts that should not have been). I saved par with an up and down on one of the par 3s. I had two good looks at birdie that just did not go in and had tap in pars. I have one in the water and an OB. Shot a 46 that could have easily been in the low 40s.
I am still a bit hampered in my short-game with only on 47 degree wedge. I have purchased a 58 and 62 degree vokey which should be in. I will need to go out and pace off those distance on my three swings before I play golf again. The other change I made was to switch from a range practice ball to a Srixon Z-Star. I was playing way too much run out on the pitch shots I did have, that ball spins nice and checks up well. Just like a Pro V1. I will go back to my goal of throwing it 1/2 way to the pin next round. Main thing is I enjoyed the 9 holes and the chance to try and go sub 40. I could have easily reached that goal and seeing signs of my old game on 5 of the 9 holes after only 1 round of golf in 8 years was encouraging. 90 better watch out because I am coming for it and 85 you are on the list too!

Now I think I need an in-home simulator. Should probably buy a house first though... hahah
millsan1;n8874889 said:Yeah, April 14, 2018 was my official "start golf" date.
But the 82 is a PB by at least 6 or 7. Extreme outlier. Just had a very good round with no real errors. FIrst and only time that has happened.
I've been sub 90, 6 times if I remember correctly, which also shows those as outliers. Last sub 90 was in February or March.
Most rounds are in the mid 90s.
rollin;n8880215 said:finally (I dont even know how long its been) but an 87 today. My last round was a 90 but my normally consistent putting took a vacation that day and costed me the sub 90. Both these rounds came after two of my worst ones on the season as for ball striking. But that said (aside from those two terrible rounds) I been so close the past few rounds prior.
My ball striking off tees and with approaches (but especially tees) has plagued me for most a year now is simply finally beginning to be significantly less penal and costly in most my recent rounds. Its been by far the most detrimental area of play as for shooting sub 90.
I been playing too many years (decades) and been through so much golf wise I know all too well not to get overly exited at all. I know so well that yesterday means nothing towards the next round. None the less it did feel darn good to finally get back to a sub 90 round again. Ill take what I can get for the moment.
FreddieMac;n8880614 said:Awesome, congo rats. I remember the first time I broke 90 after a lot of years of shooting 90 and 91, it was a great feeling. Once I did it though, I did not find it hard to shoot mid 80's pretty quick. Go for 85 now...

I think ever since the invention of the 85 thread, it sort of muffled some of the posting in this one. I also think that once people begin to score 90's (break 100) regularly they tend to move into 80's relatively quicker. And then of course that leaves a smaller percentage of us unluckier ones who seem to be stuck with the same ability but just not the consistency before failing to execute at something or another a bit too often.As busy as the Breaking 100 thread is, I'm surprised no one is posting here.
Played what might be my last round of the season Friday - a rare day off & weather was decent (60* but windy). I felt awful but figured I could feel bad sitting inside or feel bad playing golf.
So I haven't played in a month, & I do no warmup - just head to the first tee. First 2 holes went as expected. I hit a lot of extra balls but kept track of the scoring one. After 2 double bogeys, I started trying to set up with more shaft lean - trying to copy a good impact position at setup. This seemed to help 7 I started making much better contact & shots started going straighter too. Ended up shooting 44, which I was very happy with considering how lousy I felt.
I'm hoping I'll get some more mild weather over the next month or so, but can't count on it. So now it will probably be a winter of indoor practice & some sim rounds.
