Was desperate to play golf today after only having managed three rounds so far this year due to the weather. Have been hitting the ball pretty well recently after having had six lessons at the tail end of last year from my Pro, with another two still to come.

So, went out today, determined to do well. As I've only been playing two years, my best score until today had been 90.

I started off well, scoring 4's at each of the first three holes. Then I chipped in from off the green at the 4th and I figured that I was in for a good round. :D

Despite carding two 6's, I managed to chip in from off the green a further twice and had only 13 putts on the front 9 and 15 putts on the back 9. :eek:

My total score for the round?? 76!!!

I actually thought I'd shot 78 until my playing partner pointed out that 37 plus 39 was, in fact, 76.

Can't describe how I feel - it's just amazing.

Just hope I can keep it going and get a decent handicap cut now, come the start of the season, as I figure that a score of nett 54 in a Medal would have me being called all sorts of names! :o
 
Well done DelB, a remarkable score for your handicap. My lowest round is 76, and I'm off nine. Glad you didn't do it in a comp, as it would either have cost you a fortune in beer, or you would have been ostracised for the rest of the year and been called lots of nasty names. Anyway, put the round and the shots in the memory bank. You probably won't shoot that again for quite a while, especially off summer tees. Again, well done, you bandit. :D :D
 
Have you thought of buying a lottery ticket this weekend

If you win I want a percentage

well done, some of us can only dream of such dizzy heights

Del,

I'm really chuffed for you, however I'm also very surprised that your best score untill today was 90! I saw you in action at Muckhart and thought even back then

Hey TheCraw

Where did you get the photo of me in profile? I'll be expecting royalties, although you could have got one of my better side. :D :D :D
 
I guarantee that you've thought to yourself.. "If only I didn't have those two 6's......"

How many shots do you feel like you left out there? :D

Excellent round, many, many congrats.

You're absolutely right!!! :o

I feel there were 4 shots I left out there. Fluffed a couple of chips that I should have been able to get closer and lipped out twice on mid-length putts too.

We're never happy, eh?
 
superb, seen the broke 90 post and then found it to be 76 which is fantastic. you wouldnt be disgraced in dubai with a score like that :)
