Happy Happy Golfer!

Big achievement for me yesterday. I broke 80! Had set this goal for a little while and came close two weeks ago. But finally managed it with a 79 on a par 70 yesterday (3 over Front, 6 over Back)!
Two 3-putts and drop for the only double bogey on the card. Even managed a birdie on the second hole which is a bit of a brute of a par 4 at 443 yards. Nice long drive followed by a stone dead 8 iron. To say i'm happy is a bit of an understatement!

I would definitely recommend lessons as I've just had 3 with a chap called Ben Blackburn at Kings Hill in Kent and before these lessons I wasn't getting anywhere near breaking 80, i was barely breaking 90!

Happy golfing chaps & get yourself some lessons with your local pro for Christmas!

Nice one!

Congrats buddy

Thanks chaps! Early Christmas present to myself!

Well done Andrew. Wish I was hitting in 8 irons on 400 yard holes. A nice early Xmas present to yourself eh!!

It was a little wind assisted Michael ...but since learning to hit 'up' on the ball rather than down with driver I've gained at least 20 yards! Once you get your head around it, it makes a huge difference! High Launch & Low spin is the key to hitting it further.

Well done Andrew, a fine achiement indeed. Now you can 'enjoy' (endure?) the mental anguish that you'll find shooting in the 70's

yeah well done, i broke my 80 today too, 78 on a par 69,, 3 birdies, 6 par,7 bogies a double and a treble, with three 3 putts,, I'm happy but raging still haha (despite a golden ferret). all the best for this year all you guys
