14.5 handicap, never broke 80. Today I shot a 70.
Absolutely bizarre round of golf. Got my first ever eagle on the 2nd (a 270 yard par 4) and finished the front 9 on -3. Was only supposed to be playing 9 holes before work, but I cancelled my daily 9am meeting and played the full 18 - some things are more important than work, and the prospect of the best round I may ever shoot is definitely one of them.
Thought the wheels were going to fall off after a double on 11, but I steadied the ship. Had a birdie putt on the 18th which would have resulted in a level par round, but sadly it wasn’t meant to be. Tapped in for par to secure a 70 (+1) at a course where my previous best score was an 83. My best score at any course prior to today was an 80.
Golf is a mental game. I’ve submitted the card so will be interesting to see how much my handicap plummets. It wouldn’t surprise me if I shoot an 85 the next time I play.
