Until today my best round had been an 81. I've scored 81 a few times and always felt like if I could clean up just a few things I could break 80. I was so inspired by this past weeks US Open and Phil Mickelson especially inspired me regarding playing smart (what a blow up he had on the last few holes -
stupid!).
Played a local course today and did it - I broke 80!!!!!! Shot a 38 on the front and another 38 on the back. I'm learning not to compound bad shots with another bad shot. Take your lumps and if you can get out of a hole with a bogey that's not so bad.
I guess the goal for the rest of this year will be to try and nibble the score down just a few shots to par goal, but I'm thrilled with the results of todays round so I'll bask in that for awhile.
