My goal is to get that good one day. Its taken me 10 months to go from a 19 to a 9, but I think it is going to take me a little longer to get to a 3.

Well, that's quite an accomplishment in that short of time. Like you said, the better you get the more difficult you'll find that it is to continue lowering your handicap. It's taken me 23 years to get the point that I'm at now and I didn't even have my first under par round until about three years ago. I've only had one under par round this year though which surprisingly was my very first time out this year. The rest of my season... not so great. lol. Needless to say, I've been upset quite a bit this year.

I never have but it's one my goals for the year. I came close this past Thursday. I was two under after twelve and then went bogey, bogey, double. The double was bad luck; the wind must have caught my 7-iron on a 175 yard par 3 because it flew the green. So, it went unplayable, chip and two putt. Walking to the next tee box, I thought, no big deal; birdie, birdie, birdie will get you to your 69 (it's a par 70 course). As it turned out, I went birdie, birdie, par for an even 70.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

I have shot under par 4 times in the last three since I have been playing again. 3 under, 2 under and two 1 under scores. I have also shot even 5 times. It takes a lot of focus and a little bit of luck in my opinion to get around the course under par.

I was -2 under going into 17 one time....then proceeded to double 17 and bogie 18. I started thinking about being under too much and it cost me. Other than that, a 72 is the closest I have been and even that was a 36/36. I think I was around a -4 at that time.

Been under par for 9 holes, but never for 18. Best ever 9 was just last September when I shot a 3 under par 33 on the front 9... was still 3 under through 11, but played bogey golf from there to finish at 76. Almost 20 years ago I stood on the 18th tee at -1.... made a triple bogey to finish at 74. Lifetime best 18 is one over par 73.

I shot under twice, -3 and -1 for 18 holes. next best scores is par for 18 holes and par for 9 holes including starting with a double bogie and a couple birdies and a hole in one in the last hole. But, again the last time I played 18 holes, I shot 90 after not playing for 2 weeks and trying a new swing.

One of my buddies shot his first round under par today (70, -1). He's going to be a sophomore, the kids a stud.

-2 for 9 holes once -- only time I have ever shot even par or better for 9 holes (even when playing 18). +2 for 18 once (+1 on both sides). The funny thing is, I think I have played better than either of those rounds on numerous occasions. It's just those were the rounds when every putt inside of 10 feet was dropping. No wonder the pros do so well.

I was 3 under with 3 to play and managed to go, bogey, double bogey, birdie, to shoot even par, that was 10 years ago and I haven't been any closer than 3 over for 18 since.

I hate to be picky, but your math doesn't quite work out.

    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
