Broke 100
Posted: Mar 19, 2008 | 8:39 AM PST

Yeaa !!!!!  I finally broke 100 at a course I play in Lamar, SC called Governers run. I actually hit a chip-in birdie on number 18 to stay in the double digits. I did something I never do and added the score up at the end of 17 because I knew I was close. 18 is a severe dogleg right par 4 and my drive had been going right all day so this hole was good for me. I rared back and hit a big slice that I aimed at a tree at the start of the dogleg, it sliced and wound up nicely in the fairway. My second was a decent 7 iron from about 130 yards and it landed about 3 feet short of the green. I have never taken as many practice swings as I did at that chip shot. I finally stepped up with my nine iron and hit a nice little chip, I was about 12 feet fron the pin and it landed, checked up nice, got a little right to left action and actually dropped !!! I am at work right now, but you still couldn't sandblast the smile off my face. I hope to keep consistent and put together another decent round(for me, anyway) when I go Sunday...I dont know if the golf courses are open on Easter but if they are I will be there. Hit em good, but more importantly have fun doing it

Congratulations on getting into double digits. I'm surprised that knowing the score after 17 didn't cause a problem. Way to handle the pressure. I love a chip in, even if it were for an 8 on a hole, it still feels good to drop one like that.
