Back in high school (ancient history) I shot 82 once, and that was after a triple-bogey on the first hole. I've still got the scorecard around somewhere. I got my first (and only) eagle on a short par-5 and sank a 40 foot putt, downhill across not one but two ridges, on the 18th.

90...I shot 90 something like 8 times!!!!!

Can't begin to tell you how many 2 foot putts, skyed drives or shanked 8 iron shots I lose sleep over...knowing full well that just one properly executed one would have gotten me an 89!

I have shot 40 on the same course 5 times. Every time there are 3 or 4 shots that I look at and say how did I possibly blow that one? Even last week when I shot my personal best of 1 over for nine holes, it started double bogey, bogey. I also chunked my approach shot on #4.

I scored an 87 Saturday beating my previous best by two strokes. Yesterday, my wife and I were able to card an 80 playing a two-man scramble format which beat our best score on that course by three strokes. Pretty good weekend for golf. :0)

Shot a 75 this last Thursday. Bogeyed the last hole, but i didn't mind cause i was pretty happy to get the round over with without blowing up. This was after having shanks for the last two weeks. Golf is pretty crazy. Could have quite easily posted an even round, but for the double and triple bogey's i took on the 4th and 12th holes. Still very happy though. I'm a 13 handicapp and have been playing 11 months.

shot a 1-over par 73 in a high school tournament last year and won. One eagle and three birdies on the par fives no double bogeys. How long are the courses you are playing? Mine only played 6350 yards but had lots of trees.

pretty good for a 36 h/c. the course i play regularly plays 6900yds. but a tight course for 6350yds isn't so bad. i'm seeing more and more courses under 6000yds. so you can feel good about yours.

i was working in the belfry pro shop at the time and at the end of the day, and by that i mean of a belfry end of day not 4.30, lets get every available penny out of every guest 8.30 end of day. so we went out when it was already getting dark i took a buggy and then birded the first three holes then missed a tiny put for birdy on the forth and again on the 5 and then again on the 6th so i was 3 under for 6 i should have been 5 under at which point it was pitch black, i wonder if i had got to carry on or if there was maybe 1 hours more light. im sure i missed the first 2 puts due to light the 6th hole im not so sure, anyway i will never know... all i do know was that i was on fire! everything off the screws and down the pin. oh well.

The lowest round I've ever shot was in a men's open tournament in 2005 at Sunset Ranch here in the Okanagan. It was a 74, I was an 11 handicap at the time. We were teeing off on the 18th hole and one guy in our foursome says to me "hey all you need is a birdie on this par 5 and you can par the course! Thanks a lot buddy. That was the first time all day that I thought about how well I was doing and promptly made a boggie to finish. I held it together the next day and shot an 81. I ended up with a low net score of 133 and won the overall low net for the tournament. I was a pretty happy camper.

My lowest round was a 76 at my Old Tappan Golf Club. It really should have been a 75 or a 74 as I made two careless putts that cost me.

However my most satisfying round was a Caledonia in Pawleys Island, SC this summer when I shot a 79. I was playing with a set of blades a friend let me borrow, and had no clue as to green speed before I started the round. All things considered I was very pleased with it, especially after years of playing down there in my early golf years.

Lowest true 18 - 90 on a 69/108 and 6676 yards - But it was in March, and there wasn't a leaf on a tree and the fairways were rock hard so I was getting a ton of roll - still my most consistant round to date - Pretty much bogey golf - 4 pars, 11 bogeys, 2 doubles, 1 triple.

I tied my lowest 18 yesterday with a 90 at Mira Vista (70.0 / 122, 6490 yds.). I shot 42/48, and the 42 is my lowest 9 ever. Great day for me. 5 pars, 8 bogeys, 5 doubles.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
