Been trying to remember my first solo but cannot, I can remember solo consolodation shortly afterwards being very smug after doing the smoothest landing ever, as i lifted the flaps i realised in fact that I had not yet touched down!!! Boy did I hit the runway with a smack, stiil it cured my over confidence!

Played a round of golf? FFS what's wrong with you?!
I went solo then drank lots (and lots...) of beer.
VFR - fantastic grin! I remember having one very similar...
Congratulations to you, it all gets better from here!

congrats!
I was very surprised to feel the difference in performance. My climb speed and the distance needed before rotating all the way thought to the flare was improved.
Just wait until your first nav solo - thats good fun!
