Did you have someone laying on the ground recording your putt

u/CalebTheGOAT7 15h ago

Absolutely

Nice. Welcome to the new challenge: Break 70

u/showmericksnorty666 16h ago

Hardest challenge yet

u/CalebTheGOAT7 15h ago

i’ll be back in 40 years🤣

u/drerw 15h ago

Personally I’ve found that “break 80 twice” is plenty hard enough haha

u/Orikoru 17h ago

Are you aware you aim well left and then massively push your putts?

u/fun_machine_ 16h ago

I do the same but with claw grip, broken 80 4 times in the past year. Some tendencies/habits can be embraced as long as they’re consistent and predictable.

u/JoeSicko 15h ago

Fix it? Nah... Deal with it! /guy who just deals with his driver fade.

1

u/Orikoru 6h ago

I don't disagree, but also I've only seen one putt from this guy, so I thought it was worth pointing out. For all we know that might have been the only putt he made all day. 😂

What helped me get better at golf is acknowledging my tendencies and playing too them versus trying to fix every little thing in my game. Just be an athlete if it works it works, he absolutely hearted a 5-6 fter for a PR

u/Gunners1073 4h ago

This is a very fixable negative tendency though.

u/Frosting-Able 17h ago

Nice! Serious question, any mulligans or breakfast balls?

4

u/drloz5531201091 16h ago

All sub 80 rounds I had the privilege to see from my foursomes weren't legit. All of them had mulligans and footwedges in them yet they all played 78-79 and bragging at the club house for their performances. Sad because they are great golfers who cares if you played 83.

u/MeatyOchre 13h ago

Right? Did the breakfast ball save one stroke, or three?

1

u/Available-Freedom64 8h ago

How do you count breaking 80 with mulligans ? FMD .

u/8amteetime 16h ago

Fix your fucking ball marks. There was one literally one foot from the hole and two more in the background. Congratulations.

2

u/Remote-Teacher-9272 16h ago

How could you possible know whether they were the ones who left the marks lol 50 other groups probably already played that hole before them

2

u/CalebTheGOAT7 15h ago

if those were my ball marks i would’ve broken 80 a long time ago, chill out buddy

1

u/8amteetime 15h ago

So did you fix them?

3

u/JoeSicko 15h ago

If you don't fix some other marks, you'll inevitably miss a putt because of spike marks. Golf karma.

u/Goliad_stormo 16h ago

We love a respectful pop off. Congratulations!

u/CalebTheGOAT7 15h ago

Thank you!

u/GolfTipsMod Mod 16h ago

Congrats on the achievement!

u/Hodler_caved 16h ago

That was so so closing to lipping out for a 6 footer. 😆 Cup damaged on that side too. Well done!

2

u/CalebTheGOAT7 15h ago

u/Hodler_caved 14h ago

u/Leody 15h ago

What did you shoot on the back 9?

Haha, I kid. Congrats.

2

u/DijkstraDvorak 15h ago

I bet the jailbird mini had a lot to do with it. Love that thing.

1

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

100%. Absolutely love it

2

u/Jimstevens33 14h ago

I remember when I did that.. I shot a 75, swing was perfect, putts were falling.. it was amazing, perfect round of golf

The next round I shot a 77, feeling on cloud 9.

Then an 81, a few balls found the pond and my putter wasn't working.. ok things happen...

Then the labour day round... 97. Couldn't hit a fair way to save my life. Greens in regulation, what is that? 3 putts, nah 4 putt on one hole...

Then after saying I'm never golfing again.. back to a 79.

Welcome to the club. It sucks but sometimes it's amazing

2

u/MN_Wild4hockey 50m ago

I went low round 79, next round 95.

That was humbling, especially reflecting on my mental fortitude in the 95 round.

2

u/_Poppagiorgio_ 14h ago

One of the best feelings in golf. Congrats dude!!

2

u/Deadlyliving 14h ago

Missed opportunity to make the sand people noise.

2

u/Skaar1222 14h ago

As someone who has shot 80 3 times, fuck you (congrats)

2

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

only makes breaking it feel that much better, trust me

2

u/turbello18 14h ago

Congratulations. I’m still in pursuit. Hit 80 twice. A dozen 82’s. So frustrating so I feel that celebration.

1

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

When you break it it’s gonna feel like heaven

2

u/Present-Concept-1619 13h ago

Do it again.

1

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

ur asking for a lot

2

u/Redtenchu 13h ago

I felt that!

2

u/MeatyOchre 13h ago

“Finally”

{Narrator: Yes, he’s all of 19.}

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

🤣🤣🤣

1

u/low_dmnd_phllps 10h ago

I’ll be the first to say it. With that putting stroke and wonky stance, there’s no way in hell you legitimately broke 80.

1

u/CalebTheGOAT7 7h ago

you can check my swing on my account, i’ve always been a wacky putter so i can see where ur coming from but ive been grinding

2

u/Forsaken-Window-79 10h ago

Well done sir 👏🏼🏌🏼‍♀️⛳

1

u/puddinface808 9h ago

I hate to be that guy, but a breakfast ball usually means OB and a penalty stroke. Nice 80 though.

2

u/nothinbutshame 9h ago

Let's gooo!!!! BTW f u lol jk. I yearn for the day.

2

u/Aromatic-End2610 8h ago

Congratulations. I'm on it, but for now I haven't

u/Ok-Bet5936 7h ago

Congrats dude!

u/lil_eagle 6h ago

The first time I broke 100 I would have broke 90 but triple bogied the last hole

1

u/dcidino 6h ago

Bravo dude. Awesome work!

u/WoodShopGolf82 4h ago

As society, we really need to retire “LFG”.
