a friend of mine asked me the other day what the lowest score was in golf history and who had done it. i told him the lowest i personally knew of was 59, and that several different people had accomplished that one, but that it was very likely someone somewhere had done better. any input on this from you guys?

Shigeki Maruyama shot a 58 in U.S. Open qualifying one time.

Homero Blancos shot an amazing 55 in a college event years ago... this is not recognized as an official record because the course was shorter than the required length set by some golf body that I don't remember.

I've heard guys who are members at Isleworth say that Tiger shoots (shot?) in the 50's quite often at Isleworth, but who really knows what you believe. Although, i may still believe him on golf stuff.

I think on the PGA tour there have been 3 "official" 59's--Al Geiberger back in the 70's at Colonial in Memphis, Chip Beck in 93, and David Duvall at the 99 Hope. Also, Annika shot a 59 at an official LPGA tournament. ( I am no history genius; this was on TV on Golf Channel a couple nigths ago.)

These I believe are the lowest as far as official PGA/LPGA events.

Lowest I'd heard of, in competition play, was a 60 by Darren Clarke 4/5 year ago.

Playing: Wilson Deep Red Driver and Woods; Tour Edge Hybrid irons; Old 1970s Ping Putter (with rust to prove it).
Goal for the year: Golfing holidays in Spain.

60 isn't even close. David Duval shot a 59 in the final round to win the Bob Hope.. ughh... sometime at the beginning of the decade. And the above mentioned scores, look at post #6, here it is below

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
