After a few years of banging my head, I finally went out with the intent to break 100 and came back successful.

Took on a little more course than I'm used to.  First time at cedar creek san antonio, playing 6660 yards, 72.0/128.

Had to make two putts outside twenty feet to do it, but shot a 98.

Ballstriking needs work, but for now I can take a moment to say, "Woo."

Congrats!  It seems that is a very challenging course to make the breakthrough on as well!

Lot of elevation changes and blind shots.  Seemed like there wasn't a level lie on the course, hah.

nice! I finally broke 90 the other day because i had back to back birdies lol, I understand the value of taking each shot individually, like i'm sure you did with those 2 20+ ft putts!

90 is in sight, I think.... hell, I know which strokes I left on the course.  4 three putts.  Chunked my 5 wood twice on the second hole fairway before giving up of fairway woods for the day.  Hooked a five iron OB.  Boom.  90.

Also double bogeyed the last two holes thinking too much about the score.

Congrats. That's my goal this year. I constantly shoot 102 and usually have a couple of holes that really inflate my score and put me over that 100 mark. Just need to eliminate those holes and it should happen this year.

Congrats, I'm trying to break that mark myself, shot a 103/104 the last two times out with atleast 4 penalty strokes off the tee in the woods :( I plan to just keep the ball in play next time and see what happens.

Congrats.  I know one thing that has really been helping me lately is making the smart play.  Instead of trying to hit a 230 yard 3 wood from the rough ill hit a nice 5-6i and leave myself a good shot for my third.  Instead of trying to hit the miracle from in the trees I look for a good out.  

Keep it up!

Congratulations!  That is an accomplishment.  I have the same goal! I just shot 99 last week but it wasnt on my home course.  When I returned to my home course this week I blew up for a 107.  Will just have to keep working.

I think you've set a record for reviving the most dormant threads in a 1 hour period. Congrats!
