After my 2.7 cut the other week having shot an 80 I didn't expect to be knocking on the door so soon but today I only went an scored a 79!

5 over through 9 was followed by par after par after par. A stupid shot into a lake was made up for with a birdie on the 17th leaving me needing a par on the 18th to break the magic number.

My drive was good but a little close to the big oak tree but luckily my swing wasn't impeded. Nice wedge on and 2 putts to get the number I wanted.

All backed up with gamegolf incase I ever want to relive it!

Chuffed to bits.

bloody bandit,wait till i tell ray and colin.
how the hell did you knock it in the pond on 16 ,you must have caught the down slope off the bunker.

I thinned my lob wedge from 75 yards, Not my finest moment!!

Well played :) What's your next target?

To do it again. I'm under no illusions that I'm a single figure handicapper....I need everything to go my way to get a score around 80.

Well done mate..... could have been a 75 if you owned a laser :rofl:

Congrats on your h/cap cut, 2.7 is a LOT.

Ha ha cheers James, my eyes are my laser now..... it seems since our round and your tips my game has improved exponentially. Maybe you were the X factor!

Well done mate. I played a few rounds this year knocking on the door (handicap of 17 - but all non-comp rounds) including one round where I had a 5 foot birdie putt on the 18th to shoot it... of course I missed. The worst part was I missed a 2 footer on the 1st for par. That putt haunts me. Had another round where I was on for a par on the 18th to shoot 79... ended up with an 8. Go hard or go home mentality didn't pay off!

Good to know you have a record too. Worth a group photo on the 18th or in the clubhouse too, put that photo on the wall at the office!

Congrats mate, I first broke 80 this year and smashed it with a 77, was the best moment of my golfing career by a long way. Keep chipping away at 75 and youll soon break that too!
