what's the most enjoyable round you've had?

My dad and I went out to the course we normally play when he is in town to play in their "noon game". It's basically handicapped stroke play with skins. I don't normally get in the game because the majority of the guys are 2-12 handicaps and they kind of frown on people getting in that are worse than that.

Anyway, I'm not in the game (dad is), but the course PGA pro and the guy in his cart offer to play $5 Nassau lowball with my dad and I since they are in our group. For some reason, my dad agreed.

He's about a 6 handicap and at the time, I was about a 16. The guys we were playing were around 8 and 3.

Well, front nine, we shoot 3 under lowball against their 1-over. My dad had three birdies (I birdied one of the par 5's along with him), but a few of my pars helped out.

The PGA pro there proceeds to tell us that we "shot as good as we can" on the front and asked to double the bets on the back and overall. My dad agrees. I proceed to birdie 11, 13, and 14 while my dad birdies 15 and 18 and we shoot 5 under on the back. They shot 1 under.

We smoked 'em something serious. Most fun I've ever had in a round. We were giddy from making all the birdies. Normally, we shoot around 72-73 for an average lowball round. A good lowball round for us is 2 under. This day, we shot 8-under. He shot a 71 and I shot an 83. He had 5 birdies on the day and I had 4. I rolled in putts from different zip codes I was putting so well. Seriously, probably the single best putting day that I've ever had. I can only think of one day that got that close. I had 5 putts of 25 feet + that went in that day.

At one point on hole 14, my dad looks over at me and laughs cause both of these guys just look dejected. We're beating them by like 5 or six at this point. We laugh about how much fun it is as we're driving to my ball in the fairway around 125yard out. I quit laughing, get out of the cart, grab my gap wedge and hit a shot that is tracking right at the pin. It lands behind the hole and spins back to about 6 inches. My dad damn near fell out of the cart from laughing so hard. Needless to say, tap in birdie. Dad birdied the next hole and 18.

To this day, they won't let us live that down out there.

SOOO much fun.

years ago when i finally shot in the 70's with my dad playing with me. my dad passed away last year, and we really shared the love of golf. If i could go back in time and do one thing, it would be to play one last round of golf with pops..

Wailea Emerald course this past My 26. I was a walk on and went out with a group that loved the game and were all 5 and under. We played at a relaxed pace and all played well. The enjoyable part you ask? I won the nassaus and the course was drop dead wonderful. If you are ever there, you need to play this course. Dinner at the restaurant was great as well although a little pricy.

Whenever I play 9 holes with my five year old son. It's like Christmas morning each and every time.

I wish I could bottle and sell his pure joy - man, I'd be a rich man in $'s (to add to my other "riches" from just being with him).

NI4Ni, I think you have the winner. How can you beat that!! I'm jealous.

My most enjoyable round was yesterday. Shot a 67(5 under) at my home course. Birdied 18 to polish it off.

This past Sunday. I played with a friend of mine in a 2 man scramble. We chipped in 3 holes in a row. Then two holes later I backed up a sand wedge from 100 yards out into the hole for an eagle on a par 4. We shot 10 under and won $345 each....a great day!!!!
