even Par.....and missed .....would have been my first ever even par round (now, my fifth +1 round).....can't complain, as I needed a birdie down the stretch and gave myself a 20 footer on 17 (knocked it 5 feet by and drilled the comebacker) and a 12 footer on 18 (just drifted low side the last foot and a half).....so I gave myself a chance.

I just thought I would share.....there are thousands out there that are much better players than me, so I won't post another thread about one of my rounds until I shoot even or better........what a great fu*king game we play.

Some day you will get off to a good start perhaps with birdies or an unexpected eagle and accomplish the feat. 5 times +1, I say you are overdue that extra bit of good luck.

What's funny is that the day you shoot even or better, it'll be like -4 or -5...you'll crush it. I remember bowling a 199 about 3 or 4 times and never broke 200...then I go out and get a 235 to destroy it. So hang in there, and enjoy the hell out of the breakthrough round. It'll be epic.

lol, my first 200 game was a 220 and should have been a mid 250 game. Started out with 7 straight and went to pieces.

To the op...you will shoot even par soon enough. More than likley you wont be happy as it probably should be an under par round. Scrambling for a par round doesnt usually happen. For example, going into 18 1under and getting a bogey to shoot even. Good Luck!!

      I don't know what to tell you. You can't test wedges with range balls, and you have a LOT more info to gather before you can begin to really even test anything else, either.

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.
