Broke 80!!

[chipsandegg]

just been away playing for a few days to Dumfries and played a course ive never played before with my brother and i shot 79 .The course was Dumfries and Galloway and was absolutely imaculate. To make things even better was that i was using a new set of irons and it was my first full 18 holes with them so im double chuffed.. sorry to bore you all with that, im just bursting to tell everyone.. im sure you understand

Well done fella... breaking 80 is good golf I dont care what anyone says.

Fantastic for confidence with the new clubs as well!

Now on to 78! (which probably wont be your next round by the way!!)

Cheers!
ive broke 80 on my own course a few times now and am usually around the low 80's mark. i think it was more the fact that it was on a course that was totally alien to me that gave me such a buzz. as thinking back, on quite a few occasions i took the more consevative approach through not not knowing track.

Well done, mate! Anything in the 70's is good golf. I bet you left off thinking you didn't play great either and you could definately improve, eh?

Well done, A fantastic landmark, especially on unfamiliar territory

Congratulations fantastic stuff. Low 80's is the best for me yet. One day hopefully

Well done!!

Breaking 80 is a huge step,heres to the next time.

As a six handicapper breaking 80 on relatively long courses is still my main priority. But, breaking 80 for the first time was a big, BIG step and trying to follow that up is another big step.

Wait until it all goes wrong and you’re back trying to break 90 and you wonder how you broke 80 in the first place. Once you get through that it’s 76, 75 and who knows after that.

Well done.

Funnily enough, the first ten holes i kept putting everything to the left of the green so i found myself chipping and putting, had i hit the greens then...who knows lol

Ping S58'S. if you remember i wrote a post last week on whether to change my G5's or not. i ended up getting a second hand set from the states for £240. i thought if they dident suit i could bang them back on E-Bay and get my money back. Hopefully i will continue and wont need to though

Great result mate. Onwards and upwards! Well Done!!!

Well done mate.

I only recently broke 80 in a medal and know how hard it can be to get into the 70's.

Perhaps the familiarity of you own course meant you were almost playing on auto-pilot. Playing a new course , where you had to 'think' your way round , probably focused your mind and made you really concentrate on your course management . Great shooting fella

Well done - a great feeling!

I expect to break 80 on our easier course now but still have the target on every other course I play!

Keep up the good work!

Well done mate, i know the feeling when i first broke 90, makes it all worth while, and gives us that next goal to aim for

Well done mate, you can't beat success. I've had a bit myself recently (came down 0.6 to 9.2, and won a few prizes of late).

Keep it up, but don't put too much pressure on yourself - it can't happen every week!!
