The golf god's took pity on me today..

[crux]

I never know when I'm going to play good golf or hack it.

But I would have laid money today that I would not score well, it was about 2-3 degrees, a north east wind blowing sleet and snow across the course. So I'm wrapped up in layers of clothing and expecting a battle.

Then I go and make a personal best 78 in general play, my first sub 80 round of golf ever.

We may be on winter tee's and it's not a comp score but still, I'm well chuffed

One of my season goals achieved already.

Well done mate. Always good to get a pb in crappy weather!! Just gotta carry that over into the summer when the course and conditions are better. Congrats again.

I feel cold just looking at the picture. Brave man and well played

Well done mate, I would of took 1 look at the weather and turned back and gone home to be nice and warm, but nice one on getting your PB

Were you wearing the clothing you have on in your avatar? Great blizzard shooting fella!!!!

Well done that man.

I still get a buzz out of breaking 80.

The cynic in me says it wasn't the full course and so maybe shouldn't count as the proper personal best but the golfer in me says you still have to shoot the score anyway and given the conditions you should be rightly chuffed. Well done and I hope you've thawed out by now

Well done!

But one quick question

Your blog says your handicap is 25 but you shot a 78!?

Bandit!?

Or am i reading this wrong?

Well played, breaking 80 has long been a target of mine but it still seems as distant as ever.

lol, yes there is a disconnect between what I can shoot without pressure and what I can shoot in a medal comp. This year is all about getting my handicap down.

Mind you, I don't play open's, and the only thing I 'could' win with my bandit handicap is the Division 2 monthly medal pot so I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

You must suffer from some bad nerves or something then if you can shoot 78 with no pressure but only play to a 25 handicap in comps.

Think you need to get yourself to one of them mind coaches! haha

But well played though.
