A day to remember

[TonyN]

I did it, I broke 80. The target I have been chasing for a couple of months. Very pleased with my self for playing steady golf and scrambling well.

I almost had a double free round too (one of my other targets) but had a daft 6 on an easy par 4. Trying to drive the green at 250.

My course is a par 69: Out 34 in 35

I went out in 37 (with that double)
I came in, in 41

Grand total of 78.

I bet my next round is high 90's

Always nice to break 80, and always nice to meet the targets you set yourself.
The 'no doubles' is arguably the harder challenge, so let's see how you get on with that one.
I always try to keep the dreaded 6 off the card, but with little sucess.
Well done. Any score in the 70's is a good score.

 

[Twire]

Well done Tony, thats a great target to achieve.....hopefully I won't be to far behind you.

 

[Dodger]

Mmmmmmm a nett 60 off your England v Scotland handicap.......Fellow forumers please take note of this man masquerading as an 18 hcper!!

Backs up what I posted after our game Tony,you have the ability to be way lower than the 18 you were claiming.Great stuff next target 75.

 

[CarpeDiem]

Great round Tony, my goal this year is to break 80 of the white tee's. I had an 82 on sat, only had two doubles and they cost me, but hey its only march.

 

[SS2]

Great score Tony. Having played with you at Goswick I reckon you could easily get down to a single figure handicap.

Keep it up and good luck

Andy.

 

[TonyN]

Thanks guys.

Dodger, its my putting that keeps the figure up there but I know I will be cut next time I meet forummers.

I did actually suggest a voluntry cut for Goswick meet but I was declined!

I should have my last card in next wednesday so we shall see how that goes. My first was an 89 and that was only two weeks ago, just shows the difference in scores.

 

[Macster]

Well done, its great innit ?!!

My first full 18 of the year resulted in a Gross 75 last Saturday, which I was well chuffed with.
32 Putts, 3 Birdies, but 2 Doubles grrrrr

Thx in some part to Bob Rotella me thinks..... (see other post )

Roll on the season.

 

[Herbie]

Great golf Tony, I dont think it will be long before you lose a few from your h/c as I think you will find you will come in below h/c quite regularly now, especially when your focus is now on what you have achieved. Great round Tony.

 

[TonyN]

Thanks HNJ, your right. I think once you reach a land mark, it takes the pressure off completely knowing it is well within you. I hope thats right anyway, here's to better golf!

Chris, wouldnt you just be soo happy not to record a double in a round!

 

[Macster]

Absolutely Tony - but then the Birdies dont appear !!
Seems that you cant have both

Damn game ;-/

 

[theeaglehunter]

Congratulations, I have never done this myself as I am just not consistent enough during a round. I have though shot numerous rounds of low 80's recently so I too am hoping it comes this year.

Good luck replicating the form on a regular basis!

 

[HTL]

Good stuff fella, breaking 80 is on my to do list for this summer, still wrestling with 90!

 

[andiritchie]

Well done Tony breaking 80 is a big milestone

 

[tincup]

Well done Tony, great shooting that.
Also having played with you at Goswick it was clear you could shoot much lower,
Keep working hard and who knows what is possible

Well done Tony, get the handicap sorted out then start to work hard at getting it down. It's well worth the effort.

 

[Imurg]

Welcome to the Club Tony!!
Good shooting....................

How many of us in the sub-70 club? Come join us soon Tony.

 

[TonyN]

Ooof Sub 70 seems impossible. I was 3 over at the turn and I was thinking, it would take clean holes and 3 birdies just to get home in level par. I cant remember a round where I have shot 3 birdies!!! Plenty of opportunities at my gaff with 6 par 3's. But the 17th is 230 yards so a par is pretty good!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Good shooting. I'm sure I'll recognise you at the next forum meet - tall guy in the big sombrero!!!

Its actually a really good achievement especailly as the greens aren't at their best and the course is still playing close to full length in the cold air and damp conditions recently

 

[John_Findlay]

Good going Tony. Have to say I saw it coming too. You should be doing that regularly now.

Now if only I could get a sub 80 round again I'd be happy! Playing like a twit at the mo'
