thats awesome!! hahah!

I've realized that at any given time in this game, anyone can get their dick knocked in out there - it's just how you respond to it that separates the men from the boys.

I shot a 99 the last time I played and lost about 8 balls. Started off with a 10 so things were bad from the beginning!

The funny thing was I didn't even feel like I was hitting it all that bad just got every possible bad break that I could have (good drives 1 ft off fairway into US Open thick rough, terribly awkward fairway lies, putting over dead parts of greens, etc). I've played the same course and shot in the high 80's and felt like I played worse that I did with the 99... strange game.

Driver: Callaway X460 Tour

I give you a ton of credit for finishing the round. So many would simply walk off or start hitting mulligans. You play like a winner.

was just thinking...i shot a 39 at a local cow track muni...played the same 9 the next day and blew out a 51. I hate being a high capper!

I'll be another one to join in the misery. Played yesterday(8/7) and it was far and away the worst scoring round I could ever remember playing. Sad part of it was, my ballstriking really wasn't much of the problem...I was just getting every unlucky break a person could imagine.

The course is a very mature tree-lined course and while yes my driving( I could not find the swing all day long..so frustrating) was putting me into some bad spots...it was all compounded because my ball would come to rest right behind the trunk of a tree leaving me no way to advance forward or I would go through the tree line but not once did I go back through the tree's...I would hit a solidly struck shot that would make square contact with the tree and go further behind me than I was to start with. I felt like my ball was evil today and just trying to find wood to hit..all except my woods, lol. I laughed it off, had fun with the guys I played with..and just tried to shake it off. I'm gonna play again in the next couple days just to get it out of my system. I would be left with the most difficult chips and/or constantly be left with fast downhill chips.

Forgot my total for the round...101 :( Haven't shot that since I first picked up the game five years ago

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
