Shot 71 on the par 73 18 (70.7/133) at my home track today. Carded 4 birdies, one double, and 13 pars for the round. Here's how it looked by the numbers:

Total: 71
Putts: 30
Fairways: 10/14
GIR: 15/18
Up/Down: 2/3

I was actually at even par coming into 16 and birdied 16, hit a 20 footer on 17' to save par after badly mishitting the tee shot into the trees, and stuck a 5i to about 4 feet on 18 to finish with a bird. Talk about a reversal from my usual self destruction when coming down to the wire on a personal best!

Nicely done, congratulations! You've achieved one of my most important golfing objectives. I wonder how long it will take me to accomplish the same feat.

I've recently got my driver under control, hitting some pure shots earlier this evening at the range. Hopefully it won't be much longer until I can achieve the same results you have

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

Congrat.

I had broken even par few times about 15 years ago and now it's once-a-year event. I played Worthington Manor GC today and was 1 under til 16th and trippled and bogeyed at 17th and 18th. What a bummer.

Sweet, man. I hope to get to a 5 handicap by the end of summer...will be a longshot and a ton work but I'm determined to do it. That's a great round by you...

After good rounds I never feel like playing the next few days because I feel it will only be a disappointment!

But we know better than to listen to him! Congratulation! Sounds like a great round.

Lol. Not only was it a double, it was an UGLY double. Drive pushed right into the trees, then the punch out clipped a tree and ended up in a mud puddle. Splashed it out of the mud into another mud hole. Chopped it from there up to the greenside rough, and then got up and down for the 6. Definitely would liked to have had that adventure of a hole back!

    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
