My standard goal is to just have fun when playing. Other markers are to not lose a ball during the round. If I don't break 90, then I know I have not played well, even though I still had fun. Breaking 80 is great round played. Fortunately I break 80 more times than I don't break 90. I charted these scores for over 100+ rounds and they came out as this; 90+---4%, 89-85---41%, 84-80---42%, under 80---13% of the rounds I played. Since I am myself, playing against the golf course set up, it is up top me to play well or not. In actuality, it is my mental, and physical golf game that is put to test every time I play. The golf course in question is what it is...just a measuring stick.

My favorite rounds are when I play with some one who has an equal, or better game than I do which puts more competitive value into my round. If I lose, but played well that is still a fun round for me. I had a round once that sticks out in my memory. I was in a foursome, with one guy being new to me, who had a game very much equal to mine, maybe even a little better. After the first hole I was 2 shots down to him, and remained so (+/-) for the next 16 holes. On the last hole still 2 down to him, which had a green that sloped to the back, into a water hazard, I decided to play the hole conservatively. The other guy played too aggressively, found the water, and I won the hole by 3 strokes, and the match by 1.
