65... 7 under is my lowest round to date. I was a +2 at the time... it was a fun day.

The first time I shot under par I was playing with my Dad, and I shot a 2 under 69. It was the first time I shot under par and the first time I broke 70 for the first time

Cheers, Allan

62 or 63... they had hosted Canadian Tour events in the past

but I have played with a guy who shot 63 when we were playing and broke the course record by a shot... it was fun to watch

I have not played well this year. Struggling with my putting and iron shots. But for some reason, I put it all together one day last week and shot my best round ever. A 4 under 68. Prior to that, my best round was was 69 and I shot that 2 times. But those are the only 3 rounds in the 60's and I have been playing golf for 40 years. I have shot 1 or 2 under a few times. I usually stay in the 74-78 range.

Did it for nine, finished one over playing to a 5...had a friend shoot 67 with seven birdies and one double (first time playing my home course and I told him where to hit it and he bangs it right there through the fairway into a lake...I had never seen anyone hit it that far so I cost him 2 strokes). He went on to play the Canadian Tour later that year and had a few PGA events. He played a different game at a +4.

I shot a 68 today at quail brook golf course in new jersey but I'm not going to lie it wasn't the hardest course. I think I've had 4 or 5 rounds under par in the last 2 seasons most at my club and another one at hershey country club.

Many times as a teenager when I was a 2.5 index. My lowest was -6, but admittedly it was on an executive course.

In competition I never shot under par for 18 holes. Several times I was -1 or -2 for 9 holes in high school matches.


Posted
back in college i shot under several times. in fact, i was at the point where my bad rounds were 2 or 3 under par. my lowest round ever was 5 under.

Posted
i was -1 through 9 a couple of weeks ago, then that turned into me shooting 79 (par 70) with a horror show on the back, still decent for me but it will be a long time before i can shoot under par through 18

Shot a two under 71 at Potomac Ridge in Waldorf MD (my home course at the time). I played the Hollow and Ridge nines from the tips for a par of 73, a rating/slope of 70.7/133, and about 6750 yards. I birdied the par 5 16th, parred the par 3 17th from the trees (after a godawful tee shot), and birdied the par 4 18th after probably the best 7 iron I've ever hit (to about 6 inches) to get under par. My cap was about 5.5 at the time if I remember correctly.

I have started out under par early in a round several times in my life, but it never lasted past the fourth hole.

I have shot under par more times than I can count. One time in college I had a 4' putt for birdie to shoot 29 on the front side and I left it 4" short. Ended up shooting 66 that day because I dwelled on that for the first few holes on the back side.

The thing is just like anything else. If you practice sound fundamentals when actually practicing, it will transfer to the course. The problem with going deep is that your mind wants to sabotage your body. If you have practiced right and the ample amount, then when the pressure gets on you will allow your body to control your mind.

My best advice is to practice where you are loosing strokes. If you hit a large percentage of fairways and are not transferring that to a major portion of GIR's, then you know what you need to practice. Identify your weaknesses and you will get better if you practice those. Hope this helps.

Just shot 71 on a par 72. I was playing a very boring round today all pars through 17 and then on the 18th hole i made a 20 footer for birdie. My 2nd sub par this year.

boy do i wish that i could do that, the only way i make a score is by making birdies mixed with bogies, it must be very satisfying to be able to have a round as consistant as that

    • All great info. Thanks for the reply. 
    • Yea, it's more complicated than your high school projectile motion equations.  I am thinking it could increase under certain conditions. A gust of wind blowing in the same direction as the spin, causing more high and low pressure on the ball in a certain way that it increases the spin?  It has zero vertical velocity at its apex. So, it is all velocity caused by gravity for the vertical component.  Yea, landing angle is a big thing.  It is parabolic. Your apex is 90 yards in the air. A 30-yard elevated green is 1/3rd that height. At the apex, your vertical descent angle is zero, it should be horizontal. So, you are going from zero theta to let's say 45 degrees. Even if it was linear, let's say you're landing angle is close to 30 degrees. That is less than a driver and probably is significant.  Yea, it depends on how you hit it. Especially for downhill shots. If you hit a flighted shot, it might react more like a normal shot because of the lower launch and lower apex relative to your position. Versus a normal shot might come in at like 70 degrees, instead of 45 degrees.

    • Spin will decay slightly over time, but not by a lot. The horizontal portion of the velocity will also decay due to air resistance. The vertical component will be increasing since the ball is accelerating due to gravity (albeit that the spin is creating lift, which will counteract that some). Neither of those has much of an impact of how the ball will react. The biggest difference is the vertical land angle. The angle theta prime (not sure how to show that on here) will be shallower than theta. That means the ball will stop faster at theta than at theta prime. The other thing is because there is still a horizontal component to the velocity, it will carry less far at theta prime than at theta.  The effects of those two things work in opposite directions. Which one "wins" will depend on ground conditions, ball flight, spin, any necessary carry distances, etc. Fortunately the margins are fairly small so you can wing it with enough experience. The calculation of the carry distance change is what your range finder estimates when you have slope turned on.
    • So, I was looking at this image and wondered what the best way is to play your approach to an elevated green versus a lowered green. Is the spin and velocity profile at θ' much different than at θ? I don't know the physics of it but to my wee brain, it would seem that at θ' the spin would be higher but velocity lower. At θ the spin would seem to be lower but velocity higher since it has more time to fall from its peak where it would be zero. Even the image below is off visually since we know the arc of the ball flight isn't consistent throughout.    It's okay if you tell me I'm overthinking this. 😂
