Congrats man, I've been close to breaking 90 lately too.  Yesterday, I shot a 43 with 5 G.I.R.'s on the front and 50 with 1 G.I.R on the back, it makes a big difference when you can 2 putt for par.  

Congrats on breaking 90!

Congrats on breaking 90! 

Good Job!!! Keep up the good work...I shooting to hit the 70"s...And im talking 79! Would make me HAPPY.I remember breaking into the 100's not that long ago.......So congrats again!

Now that you've broken 90, you gotta break 80!!! Good Job!!

Thanks everybody! Man, played a new course Sunday and was humbled. Shot 101 with 9 more outta than Saturday. Went from my best round to one of my worst. Pared the first two hikes then started to slip up. Ended up with a 45 though. Then back 9 started awful, quadruple and a triple right away (went OB on first and had to drop, then 3 jacked next hole). Mentally fell apart abs started to question my setup and swing abs worst started to question my putting. Best part? I got out to golf all weekend and I saw I was capable of playing well. Motivation will be fueled by that 88!

That's awesome Justin. It's amazing what GIR's can do.  Keep it up

Congrats !!!

First time I broke 90 was a week before going to boot camp in the Navy (1975). I broke 90 again in 2009 when I took up the Game again and have pretty much remained in the mid 80s. I had a period of time between March of last year and January of this year because I switched from my DIY irons to Eye 2s and DCI 981s so I had a game or two that hovered near 47 for 9 holes (main reason was trying to use the 6 and 7 irons). 4 months ago I went back to using a 7H and my scores have been around 43-44 for 9 on the average at Riverwalk and about +3 on the exec courses. Work on your short game. I switched my short irons to AP1 and am pretty pleased with the way they hit (don't need a 6 iron because the distance gap between the 7 iron and my 5H is 10-15 yards). I just got the AP1 8 iron off eBay because it has the correct shaft and grip.

That's my next job.... break 80 on a regulation course and par on an exec course.

Thanks guys!  Thanks to My Game for allowing me to track my stats I know where I need to focus.  I need to play it safer sometimes, I get too aggressive and it costs me GIR.

Conservative golf WORKS. Lesson learned at Miramar about a year ago. Shot an 85. The reason I had 3 double bogeys is I tried to muscle my 7 wood 200 yards and tried to use a 3 wood; all 3 attempts were rather ugly slices. Had 8 pars that day. Part of playing better is working less. For instance, why hit a full golf shot with a sand wedge at 80 yards when it is easier to pitch a PW? Or take a 1/2 swing pitch at 40 with a GW vice a full pitch with a LW? Unless the situation dictates it (tight pin position). Also have a backup shot in case something goes haywire (let's say a sudden case of shankitis sets in on a full swing with the GW - pitch a 7 iron).
