Great job. I'm hoping to shoot in the 70's at least once next year.

You now belong to an elite group of weekend golfers.

Since you had done it, go out and get more and be comfortable of new scoring average.

Thanks all..I am looking forward to it and also my fear (well not fear) I am OK if it takes several rounds again or it may be next time. All my playing partners who play with me, and have been, while I have been evolving. knew I was close. It was the whole game that came together finally, tee to green.

Congratulations! way to go....I remember the first time I broke 80, what a feeling! This maybe a cliche~ but it is so true and I'm surprised no one in this forum has mentioned it yet....On your next round, "take it ONE shot at a time!" Try not to fall into trying to do to much on the front nine, focus on making par and avoid taking risks because yr subconscious mind will be saying, If I can do this or that, I'll be able to shoot a 78!

EX: I caddied for a gentlemen this weekend who recently carded a 76!
I saw him try to DO to much, force things when they weren't there..The subconscious mind had to be telling him I can shot a 75 today! Final score 91....on the very same course as the "76".





That is true and I did fall into it on the front 9 on one hole I went for the green in two on a par 5 missed the shot and ended up with a bogie. Had I hit two smooth irons insteal of trying to muscle a 3 wood 235 yards I would have probably par'd the hole. That was a wake up call and I settled back down to my game.

Thanks for the words though I am going to reread them before I play Sunday
