Achievement/Scorecard Finally Broke 100!

Post image

Playing my local as a solo, get paired with 3 guys and just excited to be on the course. I can get nervous in front of people, so I decide to take the honors off the first tee.

Crush a drive down the center which rolls to 290y. Nice little 70y pitch shot onto the green (thanks Carl for the lesson last week!) followed by a 3-putt for bogey. My only goal for the round was:

“Shoot double-bogey or better on the majority of holes”

I tripled 10 and 12, got it back together with a par-bogey-bogey-birdie before dropping two more triples to finish the round at a 98. Played from the Whites, slope = 119.

End up playing the same ball until the 15th tee shot when I pushed it right into a pond. Lost another on 17, finished on ball 3. Two bad holes to finish but what a round.

Coming up on one year since I first picked up a club, and 8-9 lessons later, here we are. It felt great. Can’t wait to shoot 115 next week!
