Best round recorded

[lyricist65]

Chuffed to bits. Went out late at Wyke Green after work (again). No one on the course and we got round in just over 3 hours. Hit 47 on the front nine and started with a par on the par 5 10th. Hit a monster 9 on a par 4 on the 12th but kept it together for a 48 on the back, making a lowest ever 95. Happy with it, but like always can't help but think of the stupid shots i left out there.

I made it my priority to minimize the penalty strokes i took and that helped a lot, only taking one for a lost ball. That and a bit more focus on the tee, hit a lot of fairways with the driver which kind of goes hand in hand with the penalty strokes thing.

Golf is so much more fun when you can find your ball :whoo:

I know that feeling, my target is to try and break 90 this year, I know I can do it but stupid shot choice and penalties are killing me. On my last round I shot a 94, but I had two snowmen (8's) and a 7. Had I managed to score bogies I could have shot an 87.

So my target is to keep the 7's and 8's off the card, make at least 2 pars and at least one birdie.

Tell me about it. Last round I had 3 lost balls, 1 unplayable, 1 water hazard and 8 3-putts. Totals up to 16 strokes dropped on sloppy play. As I shot 102 if I'd cut those out I'd have had an 86, 12 better than my best round. No wonder I felt I'd played alright.

I'm able to play on Thursday as I'm home from work at about 3.30pm so just let me know when you fancy a game.
