I shot par for the first time today!! (on an 18 hole course) This was at The Bridges in San Ramon, CA. 6,600+ yds/73.5 rating/146 slope

Dropped a 20' Birdie putt on 18 and let loose a HUGE fist pump!

Hit 11/14 Fairways
12/18 GIR
29 putts
3 Birdies (#1,14,&18), 3 Bogeys (2,7,&13)

Feeling so pumped up right now. I wish it wasn't dark so I could go play another 18!

My Equipment:
Driver: 9.5* R9, 73g Fubuki stiff | 3wood: 15* R9 3 Wood, x-stiff shaft | Hybrid: 19* Lynx Hybrid, reg. flex | Irons: MP-68s (4i-PW), 5.5x flighted |

Congratulations!

It's funny, most people think that low handicappers shoot even or better regularly. I have yet to shoot par myself, despite playing down to the mid-4's at times. It's a great accomplishment and you're right to be proud. 71 is next!

Nice work, congrats. At the other end of the scale, I'm looking to break 90 for the first time on a "proper" course. As for you, go hunt down that round in the 60's =P

I came so close last week to even par, bogeyed 18 for a 73. Best round of my life.

Ugh!

I've got enough 73's to wallpaper a small room, but I don't think any were the result of a bogey on 18. That's gonna leave a mark!

Ugh!

Luckily this was a tryout for my college golf team, and I had the lowest score by 2 shots. And the course rating was 73.6, so at least I had a positive handicap for the day

Congrats! So how long did this journey to par take you?

I've been golfing about 9-10 years, but had about 4 years in the middle where I only played once every 6-8 months. For the last 4 months or so I've been playing close to 3 times per week.
