Alright folks there has been too much talk of breaking pars lately so here is my questions for everyone so please be honest.

What was your score on your first 18?

This is like your first kiss or your first date which many can not forget. Mine was 135 on a par 72 at Lake Chabot golf course in Northern CA. This one was a nasty one that had hills with narrow fair ways and balls that plugs due to the ground condition. This also had a par 6 660 from the blue and 680 from the tips. So as you can see this was not a course that I wanted to loose my golf virginity to but I will never forget it

Ok people what was your real score...we all been there so please share :)

Jeez my first regulation Par 72 was when i was 8.. im 15 now.. (well 16 in 30 mins.) So it was awhile ago. But I didnt keep score that day. I'm pretty sure I was in the 100's for my first 18 hole score. Maybe a 102-105.

As an 11 year old child golf prodigy, I fired a 63-over 135 in my first junior tournament. Maybe my father showing up unexpectedly, catching me smoking Marlboros and beating the crap out of me on the fourth tee affected me. That was in 1960.
This is embarrassing: I am so old that Jack Nicklaus won that tournament (no joke). In nineteen eighty something, I actually did shoot under par.

I was too young to remember and I didnt know any of the rules so the score wouldnt have been accurate. I am sure it was over 100. The only thing I remember about my first round was that on the 1st hole I sank a really long putt at least 30 feet. I remember my dad saying "Ok well we don't need to work on your putting." Ha! that is the worst part of my game now!

145 for me...didn't even go to the range or anything. I was watching Winged foot and asked my dad to take me out. I had so much fun, even though I sucked.

It was 2 weeks ago, I shot an 89 on a par 70 course.

I was very surprised how well I did, but I did go to the range 4-5 times per week for a couple months and played a few par 3's before the full 18.

I broke 80 my first time out.

180 that is.

I shot a 178 at Alondra Park G.C. in August of 2006.

I'm within a few shots of cutting my first score in half with an upcoming score

I voted trying to forget because I have long forgotten. I was probably 12 years old maybe and I think it was on an Air Force golf course or something and I had some type of cut down clubs. I know it was with my old man and I had a few lessons(3 or 4) before I went out. I don't think we even kept score because pops was too busy given me pointers and drinking some Natural Light.

    • Hello Everyone, I am moving to a new house and first thought... let's have a room for indoor golf practice! I know many of you love to record your swings, but indoor there is always the issue of the blurred clubhead at impact due to the poor lighting compared to practicing in the sunlight. Has anyone figured out a combo of camera and indoor lighting to get good results at 240fps,  720p?  
    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost.
