Let me start this with I have never shot par or under par for 9 holes on a regulation sized 9 holes of golf. 

Having said that I do have a whole bunch of 37's. 

I had (3) 9-hole rounds of 37 two years ago. One of which I remember really well I was 2 under standing on the 9th tee box... I made a triple. 

The very first 9 holes I played this year. I played at Bent Tree Golf Course, and shot a 37 on the front side. I actually recorded every shot for a course VLOG. You can see it here:

 

Oddly, I didn't feel like I hit it all that great on route to that 37 on the front 9 of Bent Tree. At the time I felt like I got a few breaks. That AND I'm not really sure the 37 is completely "According to Hoyle". I used a putter cup rather than putt at the actual hole. So, there's that. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

39 a couple of times. I'm horrifically consistent at shooting 40 or 41 though. If only I could put a 39 and a 40 together.

I can't honestly remember if it's my lowest 9 hole score, but shot a 38 on the front yesterday, and followed that up with a 42 on the back, ugh.

Many years ago I carded a 32 on the front 9 at the Casablanca GC in Mesquite, NV. 

It was a short lived accomplishment, as I followed that up with a 40 on the back 9.

Probably one of the better chances I ever had to break par on a legit 18 hole golf course.

Mine is -1 at 33 (par 34, with 3 par 3s and 1 par 5).  Quickly went +4 (40) on the back 9, though...

40 on the back 9 where I shot 53 on the front...

 

I’ve had a couple of times where I was +1 coming to the 7th tee to just instantly implode and finish the front 9 with +8 or +10.

Really thought I had "figured it out," but the game long since humbled me and continues to.

I know I've shot 3-over for a 39.  i don't think I've done any better than that.  Yet.

Update: 2-over 37 (par 35).  Double bogey on hole 10.  So I played the last 8 even. 3 birdies helped.2051912355_2overpar.jpg.da6ff795e35f9bd79e0df31decc30f01.jpg

I shot a couple of one under scores on par 36 (regulation course in Connecticut and one in Salt Lake City) back in the 80s. Best 18 was 3 over par 72 back in my college days. Frustrating part was that I bogeyed the last two holes - ugh. =;^0.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
