Finally got out for a round today now that my area isn’t a muddy mess from the rain—and had a surprise. I’ve shot 80 nine times over the past year but never quite put it all together. To my shock, by the time I reached hole 16 (right after the brutal 440-yard par-4 15th), I realized today just might be the day.
Under par on the back! Nice.

Yeah! Best 9 holes I’ve shot before today was 2 over.
Hell yeah! That’s a great feeling, enjoy it.
Congrats! Broke 85 last year. Not sure if I have 79 in me this season.
Out of curiosity how many up and downs did you have? I feel like that is what is holding me back from the next step.

Just the one today. My previous rounds at 80 had up to 5 a round.

Good to know. I have to start hitting more greens and also learn to get up and down more.

The biggest difference between my breaking 90 game and today has been greens hit inside 150 yards. My driver is still my worst club, but I hit a high percentage of greens with 9i through the bottom of my bag.
@Avery
My driver has actually been a strength. Some days I am on with irons and some days I am not.
But my up and down percentage is crap. GIR and up and down is how I can make up the most strokes.
Solid back 9. Congrats
