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.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
