One off the bucket list

Started a YouTube channel, which is a lot more work than I imagined.

had a single figure handicap for the first time this year! Got to 9.5 once about 6 years ago after a 5 shot cut in a week but that went north in a linear fashion - and 9.5v was still rounded to 10. But with the new HI i was 9.4 i think at lowest! . Reality is setting in and this is going north in line with my lack of ability

Finally, after many, many years it happened today.

Club comp, shot 10 pars and 8 bogies (HI 12.3) for a 79. I have broken 80 on a number of occasions - but first round ever with no double bogies or worse. 6 scores still to be posted, but leading by three shots.

Chuffed.

Anybody else had a first this year?

That was a very tidy round, my friend.
No doubles--that's always my unattainable goal in a round.

Three rounds in a row without a penalty shot. Quite surprised I'd not done this before, but there we go!

Never played over 100 times in a year, but have managed it this year, special mention to the wife for helping it to happen.

A few for me:

- broke 90
- broke 80
- first Eagle
- double-bogey free round

Been a decent year golfwise!

Yes - today!

There is a pond to the left of the green on our par 4 18th. It was constructed 20 years ago.

I hit my second shot into it for the first time ever.

I had played 53 holes without losing that ball - so not too bothered.

So glad I've got that one out of the way.

Breaking par gross at Wimbledon Common Golf Club in a competitive round

Was that this year? Well played, should help the quest for single figures ? Did you do a write up on your blog?

Same for me! First time in single figures, down to 9.1 briefly, but like you, I'm going north to 9.9. My ambition next year is to be single figures when I turn 70. I would be very happy with that, but similarly, my lack of ability will probable prevent it.

Had my first eagle on a par 5, it’s always a source of amusement to my mates, and annoyance to me! I’ve had plenty on par 4’s, but always bottled it on the par 5’s - I missed a 4ft putt for one whilst on holiday, but then chipped in from 20ft a couple of weeks later.

My only eagles of the year came from chipping in on a par 4 and 2 hole in ones.

But I have 3 putted, all 3 times when being on a par 5 in 2 ?. Twice in the same round at Thetford in the summer.

I once hit every par 5 in two at Pine Ridge, and three putted every time, I'd completely lost it on the greens after the third time.

Hole in one on the 160 yard par 3 ninth a few weeks ago. Won a fun three ball Scramble comp with a trophy to prove it.Played with my son when he holed his second on a par 4 and on the next slotted his third from a hundred yards for a 3 on a par 5!
