What was your worst score through nine holes as a beginning golfer?

[TheFisherman]

Probably 60-70 on the front 9. At #1, took two swipes at the ball and missed completely with my beat-up, rented persimmon. Then got serious and brushed the top of the ball, which rolled 30-50' down the fairway. A 3 on the scorecard as I left the tee box. Putting was equally bad, 3-7 putts to get the ball into the hole.

I don't know what it is about the first hole, but at the course I play at it's a par 4 and I consistently hit 10s. It's by far my least favorite.

+29, twice.

Once early last year -- my first 9 holes on a real (par 36) course after a few lessons and some range time.

+29 my first time out this year -- 58 on a par 29.

Fortunately, I'm down in the 40's on that par 29.

68 through 9 holes in absolute pouring rain. We had all paid up front and travelled a fair way had a 3 course meal waiting. It eventually stopped on hole 10 and ended up with 118 my worst score ever. I haven't been any worse than 109 which I shot a little while ago lost 5 balls in that score as well.

my first 9-hole, played alone, 89 on a par 36.

kept on topping and shanking every single shot, whereas at the driving range I almost never shanked!

this happened to me every time I went on the course, for at least the 10 first rounds, drove me crazy, but I don't like quitting.
