I thought I'd drop by because I'm feeling sorta celebratory, thought I'm not sure I should.

I shot my first round under par today, by shooting 1 under . . . on an 18 hole par 3 course. So that's a 53 on a par 54. On the one hand, it was really cool dealing with the pressure of knowing I was under going into 17, which I parred by two-putting from about 30 feet, and again on 18 (same thing).

On the other hand, we're talking about probably the easiest course on the planet - shooting 1 under equates to a 1.8 handicap on the round. Should I be pumped about this or not? Have I actually shot under par for real?

Finally, is this my best round ever? Previously it was shooting 74 at Moorpark Country Club (71.5/133).

How legitimate is a great round that doesn't involve anything longer than a 7-iron, but on the other hand only required 25 putts?

I love playing at my local par 3 course, but I really only consider it practice and extra chances at a hole in one. Regardless, shooting under par is a great round...well done, now bring that flow to the big boy course.

That's great! Under par is under par, so just accept it, add it to your scrapbook, pat yourself on the back and go out and do it again somewhere else. Now you know you can shoot under par without blowing up, and that seems like a big deal to me. Enjoy it, and tick it off your list of accomplishments.

I don't even consider my best score ever on a full sized course to be my best round ever.

You might want to think twice before you post that bad boy for your handicap too........that sucker will haunt you for the next 20 rounds, ask me how I know!

Nice job though!
