Broke 80 today. Pleased for my goal. 70.8/120 6800 yards, so not a cakewalk, either. Pretty happy.

Update on my Disc Golf Journey, I'm currently 896 rated which is pretty decent. I'm ranked 4th in the summer league in my current division of MA2
My most recent round at Art Dye disc golf course was 2nd placed. I thought it was notable for the clutch 14-18 comeback. I played terribly through the easier part of the course and ended up with birdies on two of the hardest gets. I've never gotten 14 or 18 which are both narrow hallway and low ceiling big distance tunnel shots. 17 is no slouch either.

Handicap at 13 as we end the year for qualified golf here in Northern Utah.
Some of my goals or interesting notes the last couple of years:
Broke 80, which was the main goal
Didn't break 10 handicap, which was the other main goal.
Had consecutive birdies.
Bettered my putting and chipping stats
Driver and irons have been a bit sketchy.
Goals for next year:
Get my first ever eagle
Break 10 handicap
Improve ball striking
Consistent drives...lose the duck hook
Break 80 at a harder course (looking at you, Valley View)
Continue to update my bag as I feel necessary.
Only thing that isn't more than a couple years old in my bag is my 25 or so year old whippy 3 wood. All my other clubs are now stiff shafted, so it's been hard
to pound it with authority like I used to. Love the club, though, and actually hit it good twice at the end of the year playing for a fade which I had never done with it, so maybe that keeps it in.
WITB:
Mizuno STZ 220 driver
Yonex V-Mass 400 3 wood
Mizuno JPX 923 Hot Metal irons 4-PW
Taylormade Sim Max 05 48° A-Wedge
Lazarus wedges 52, 56, 60 degree
Taylormade Spider SX-32 Putter
Vice Pro golf ball

As is often the case, George Carlin said it best (obviously NSFW language here, I mean, it's Carlin):

Just got back from the range about an hour ago. Nice sunset. My fourth straight day at the range and several 9 hole games in the last week. But I realized just playing golf when you're a hack isn't going to help that much so I'm trying to do the right thing and focus on the range.

Great until I flush one 20 yards over the green. Part of my ball striking goal next year so I can up my expected carry and be more consistent.

hmmm thats the thing with those sorts of irons, you've really gotta be hitting them in the middle consistently

83 and 87 to start the year.
Might be the first time I've had consecutive rounds not losing a golf ball. Even the 79 I got last year had a water ball.
Driver really the problem so far this year. Cannot hit a fairway. Plus side is the 87 would have been in the 90s last year, so I'll take it as an improvement..

80 today. Didn't break 80. Didn't think I was close but birdied 17 and had a birdie putt on 18 that I missed.
Could have been 75 if I could put. Four three putts. Had a three putt double, two three putt bogies, and a three putt par. Didn't get that eagle. Was only like 12 feet and three putted it. Oh well. Drove the ball better. One more round without a lost ball.

No idea how I’m so bad. My short game with 7 irons in is decent. I’m comfortable with it. And I’m tall and you would think could hit the **** out of a driver. Nope. I hit 225-250 as a scrawny 16 year old. Lucky to hit 175 now and even luckier if it doesn’t curve off like Lena Paul’s sweet *** and ****. **** my dying body.
