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.

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

    • In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.     
    • Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before? 
    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
