Howdy everyone, shameless brag post here but I'm pretty excited. This is the first year that I've taken golf seriously, after 10 years of playing about 2 rounds a year. I splurged before the season, buying my own set of clubs (had used my dad's old k-mart clubs in the past), and decided I would work hard on getting my game to a new level. Anyways, at the beginning of the year I was playing to a 28 handicap, and had never broken 95. In May I managed to shoot a 91, and had dreams of getting in the 80's. A month and a half later I managed to throw together a lopsided dream round, and shot 84 (49/35). That round served as kind of a paradigm shift, and I found myself shooting high 80s and low 90s consistently. Fast forward to today, where I decided to set my ego aside and try to play a smart round for once. With the driver in the bag, and the 3I as my goto-club, I put together the best round of my life (77). I know course management and club selection is second nature to a lot of you, but I never imagined how big of a difference it would make in my game. Driving a ball 320 yards is fun, but hitting 7 fairways, 8 greens, and going 40/37 for the best round of my life was pretty damn fun too. Sorry for ranting a bit here, but it's just nice to see things come together. Next stop, single digit handicap (hopefully).
