    Default My finest hour...I finally conquered this game

    Well I finally did it...I shot par. My lifelong goal has finally been reached at the tender age of 22. Beat my previous best by 2 shots.

    It's funny because for the last couple of weeks I have been thinking really hard about how to score. I came up with a relatively easy (in theory) solution: 4 bogeys, 4 birdies, the rest pars. Well today I did just that

    This was after shooting a miserable 86 at Kooralbyn just 3 days ago. Well I bought a new putter and went to the practice green. Then I really took my time on the course (lined up putts etc.) 3 putted twice but sunk two 20+ footers on the closing holes, and finished with an even par 71.

    Next goal..break par.

    Jarro...my index is 5.1, but that could be somewhat misleading as it is only based off 6 cards.

    And no it was not in a comp. I don't really play in too many comps as I'm not a full member anywhere and I just like playing socially by myself or with a mate. Comp golf has it's pros and cons but I hate playing with people that take it too seriously especially around the greens (I adhere to al the rules BTW) resulting in massively slow play. 3 Practice swings on every shot etc. It only takes me 2.5 hours compared to 4+ in a comp, and I like it that way.

    Did you bomb it over the lake on the 18th to set up your best score or did you lay up like girly tosser that hits 5w bunts of the tee.

    I always bomb it over the lake (well always try), infact today was one of my biggest, cut the corner, middle of the fairway and had 175m to the hole. Had 5 iron but came up a little short, only got par.

    Thanks Pete, yeah I'm not usually a spastic putter like I was on thursday. Too much pressure of performing in front of you guys, the nerves got to me

    Well done on the par round. Always satisfying to shoot an even round.

    Nice work, par is something that will more than likely never happen for me, net par maybe.

    Congrats on the par round, at 22 there will be plenty more I am sure.

    So what if he lays up, that was Zach Johnson's plan at the masters this year and he did alright !

    If you know the hole then you would appreciate how much balls it took to go for it with a PB on the line.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Regarding laying up, it's my luck lately that when I do lay up, things turn to sh*t. i.e I would hook my 3 wood off the tee, or stuff up the second shot and place pressure on hitiing GIR etc. Sometimes I have more confidence to blast it with the driver than layup, especially on that hole where the only real trouble is out right, I'd have to really stuff it up to be out there.

    you forgotten about the water long left as well, that comes into play if you try to carry the water.

    Yeah don't remind me, i've been in there a few times. I only really end up there when I'm not trying to carry the water and just hit straight but end up hitting too far.

    Nice round. But until you can do it in a competition round, todays score will always have an "*" beside it.

    You blast that driver pretty well, good reason to have confidence in it.

    You are a harsh man Jack.

    I don't really see what difference it makes, it would be nice to do it in a tournament, something worth winning, but a weekly competition is nothing, just a bunch of blokes competing for a few crappy balls and vouchers. To me golf is golf, par is par, no matter what the circumstance. It's not like the course gets harder or anything, there were some pretty tricky pins out today and the tees were back.
