Had to share this. Not to brag or anything like that, but I know most people here will appreciate the story.
I broke 80 for the first time this past Friday. Shot 77 (38-39). Course was Par 71. 30 putts (and no 3 putts), one double bogey, 2 biridies (one a side). Played the Par 3's at +2, the Par 4's at +5, and the Par 5's at -1. Needed a bogey on the final hole for a 79. Long par 5 with a lake down the entire left side as well as behind the green, which slopes towards the water from front to back. Played it safe knowing what was at stake. Instead of going driver-hybrid like I usually would, I went 3 wood-8 iron-SW. My 3rd shot came up just short of the green. Stepped up, and chipped in for birdie for a 77! The guy I was playing with, who has only been at it for a couple years, shot 89, breaking 90 for the first time, so that was pretty cool as well.
