Yeah I went through the same thing. I chili dipped a wedge, had a 5 footer lip out etc before finally breaking 80 for the first time. I'm telling you that was the highlight of my golf "career". The 69/70 I shot back to back was simply a fluke but breaking 80 for the first time was hard earned and well deserved.

The first day I did it was bittersweet. I was playing well and made it to the match play finals of my flight at my club. The good news is that I stayed focused without thinking about my score and shot 78. The bad news is that I lost the match on the 19th hole. I was two down going into 17 and made a kick in birdie on 17 and made a 10 foot downhiller on 18 to square the match. I then hit my best drive of the day on the playoff hole, but got across a wedge on my approach and pulled it into a bunker. Couldn't get up and down. I didn't even know I broke 80 until I got in the locker room.
