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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
