Sean came in with a one under 71 during a practice round at home. His first round below par. Two birdies and an eagle to offset 3 bogies.
I wish I was there to see the round...you want to be a part of these milestones...but I was at the club chatting with the head pro in his office, waiting to pick him up, when he came in off the course and announced his result. Close enough to the moment not to complain, I suppose.
But it was a weird moment....I was both very proud, while at the same time I had to actively suppress myself from blurting out, "It's about time!"
Breaking par was inevitable. Sean's game has improved too much. In fact, we all were getting a little bit concerned that it had not happened yet. A couple of his buddies at the club had broken through, but not yet Sean. He came close at last season's club championship, shooting a 73 with a double bogey on our par 5 18th hole.
So there was a little bit of a concern that par was becoming something impenetrable.
Not too many milestones left: Winning a tournament beyond the confines of the club, breaking 70, a bogey-free round, breaking 60...lol!

Sean has done something pretty incredible if you think about it. He's not been playing all that long, at least not seriously. Most of us will play our entire lives and never know what that feels like - that's how special and rare that feeling is.
