Not yet but I will be this year. That's what I have planned anyway.
My personal best is 79 (41 front; 38 back). I'm planning on stepping up my game this year....will be putting a lot of work into it (as soon as winter ends).

Never broken par but then again I'm just a beginner and I pretty much suck.

Oh yeah, but you have SO MANY milestones ahead of you: Breaking 100, 90, 80. First birdie, first eagle, first hole in one, first back-to-back birdies, first 9 under par,

Best round so far is +10 (82 strokes) at my local. The most disappointing thing about that round; +2 on the front nine!

I've broken par numerous times with my lowest being a 62 ( 8 under ), but I consider a 66, my best round because of the course I did it on.

Only once. Christmas Eve, 1989. Holed a fifteen footer on the last for a bird, and a 1 under total 71. I was 3-under after nine once, but it was just a quick nine holes after school one day. It's a great feeling, and afterwards you wonder why you can't do it all the time. Until the next round, that is.
But I tell you what, getting to a standard where if you play ok you shoot in the 70's if a great place to be. Someone says, whaddya shoot?" and you kinda sound dissapointed and say, "eh, 78. Doubled 12," but really you're thrilled. Lotta fun. I'm not there anymore, but have fond memories.

Broken par five times, lowest is a four under 66. I actually consider my best round to be a one under 71 though becuase of the course I was playing.

Fore!

I have broken par 3 times. Once I shot 70 (-2) by hitting 17 greens and making zero putts of any length, and twice I shot 71 (-1) just by being steady and not making any mistakes. Also have a handfull of even par rounds.

I have been under par for 9 holes a million times with my best at -3 twice, once with a bogey and once with two bogeys. Actually I have a -1 for 9 holes in my last two rounds, I just usually fall apart and do something stupid.

Hey, if I was any good, I'd be rich!

  • 8 years later...

I have been golfing for seventeen years (since I was 10 years old) and I have broken par about half a dozen times in that time. My lowest score is 69, which I have shot twice. One was at my home course (Par 72, 6300 yards, 69.6/124) and I had 6 birdies on the front nine that day. It was the last round I played with my grandpa before he passed away, so it was really cool I got to share that with him. The other was at a private club I worked at one summer. I joined up with a few of the senior members that afternoon and I played from the same tees they did (Par 71, 5800 yards, 67.2/122). Come to think of it, maybe I should play with the seniors more often! Haha! My best tournament round is even par, which I shot on the second day of my club championships several years ago after being well into the 80's on the first day. I am not a long driver of the golf ball by any stretch (approx. 220-240) so naturally all of my really low scores have been from shorter tees, but you still have to hit the shots and make the putts! 

There were 3 common themes for all of my under par rounds:

1) I kept it in play off the tee

2) I limited my mistakes (but when I did screw up, I scrambled exceptionally well)

3) My short game was fantastic

Keep in mind, I have shot less than ten rounds of par or better in almost twenty years of golfing. I scare 90 a lot more frequently than I do 70. But it is still really fun when those rare moments of greatness do come around. One season I broke par three times within a 2-3 month span, then I didn't shoot under par for five years after that! Golf is a funny game.

    • Day 5 (6 May 24) - focused on setup and proper alignment (non alignment rods) to mimic visual cues as on course…of course this is backyard so we are talking 50yds max.  
    • Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad. 
    • Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.
    • Gooch ended up getting the invite...
    • Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
