59 alert (maybe lower)

Kevin Chappell has 9 birdies in a row (2-10), par is 70 so with 2 birdies on the last 8 holes he shoots a 59

It’s not the same as a 59 on a par 72 IMO. Still impressive, but it needs to be a 57 to be the equivalent.

I'm in the camp that most PGA Tour courses are really par-68, and par-5s are just hard par-4s.  Again, at least on tour.

Go Kevin!

We’ll need to set up a “no fives” challenge if he finishes the 18th hole with a birdie or better.

And he pulls it off with a birdie on 18.

I know it is early, but DJ is -7 - through the first 5 holes, so you might want to see a little bit of that

Looks like 59 may not be good enough for best of the day. Imagine that.

Thanks for the alert.  I do not normally have the TV on while working, but is is on now.  This could be historic.

I was thinking of something like this a few days ago when I saw some KFC Tour scores cross my feed.  Maybe a collection of Tour Pro scorecards for competitive rounds where everything was 4 or better, along with some context information (course, round, tournament, where they stood pre-round, etc).  I can't tell if that thread would be fun or a nuisance, I might start it if it's the former.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
