Shot an 86!!

hey everybody,

i went out to play 9 today, and on the front 9 of my par 71 course, i shot a 46 (+10)...now that sounds horrible, but i'm a 27 handicap, so it wasnt really all that bad...i decided i should play the back 9 as well and shot a 40 (+5)! this is the first time i've ever broken 90 and i was really excited, had to share...hopefully the next few rounds will be just as good (but i mean...12 strokes under handicap just isnt normal)...so all in all i just cant believe i shot an 86, and even more unbelievable is that i shot only 5 over on the back 9...(5 bogeys, 4 pars)...anyway, just wanted to tell as many ppl as possible

Congrats on your break thru. it's always a great feeling to achieve a goal.
Don't get too cocky though, it's golf you know.

Congrats on the personal best!! Those rounds where you feel you can do no wrong are AWESOME!! If you are like myself it will be awhile before those come back around. But keep with it and before you know it a mid 80's will be average for yourself... Again good job!!

Way to go. The first time you break any number that ends in 0 is a cause for great celebration...Hope you're still floating on air!!!

if you work on your game diligently, especially the chipping and putting, you'll see the 80's often. enjoy your accomplishment.

Congratulations on a fine day of golf. But, please do get your hopes up and keep them there. That, along with practice, play and time will continue to take you to new highs (actually lows, lol) on the course. Enjoy the day for what it was and slowly drift off to sleep tonight with a smile on your face as you replay each good shot you made. It's a long road and it gets a little bumpy but today you did well. Congrats again.
Jerry
