Career milestones/achievements (taken from my forum thread)

Just wanted to put the list in a blog post, so I can add new ones if they happen, come back to it after I have a bad day on the links, and/or just reflect while I'm waiting for the snow to melt in the winter.

Firsts
Breaking 80 from mens tees: 1999 (12 years old)
First eagle: 2 on a par 4, 105 yards, 9-iron (1999)
First junior tournament win: 1999
Breaking 70: 68 (also lowest round) (2004)
First ace: 170 yards, 7-iron (2007)
First club championship: 2009
First double eagle: 2 on a 454 yard par 5 - driver/8-iron (2010 - 3 weeks ago)

Cool stuff
Longest par streak: 15 holes
Longest birdie streak: 5 holes
Consecutive rounds with an eagle: 3 (this happened this summer and it is my favorite...all 3 eagles on same course, same hole, with same witness - my dad; 495 yard par 5)
Consecutive rounds below 80: 18
Most eagles in one round: 2
Most GIR in one round: 16
Lowest nine hole score: 32 (4-under)
Lowest putts: 24
Lowest scramble score (team of 4): 54 (17-under)
Lowest college golf scoring average: 76.4 (2005-2006 season)
Best college tournament result: 2nd place (71-71 - 142; 2-under)

Wall of shame
Most untimely bogey: First playoff hole (37th hole) of club championship finals circa 2002
First 5-putt in a tournament: college golf - 2008
Consecutive shots OB: 3

This is cool, I'm not nearly good enough to have any crazy milestones like that.  that double eagle on the par 5 is impressive albiet a short part 5. but to hole out from there is awesome! and 5 birdies in a row you mustve started feelin like a pro! lol

now the wall of shame is something i can relate to!

    • Long time user of the Flatso Ultra since it came out in 2013. Went to use it for the first round of the year and was dirty, so gave it a good cleaning and think I am going to need to replace it. I don't have anywhere around me that has the new varieties of the Flatso lines, but what would be the current closest in their line to the Original Flatso Ultra?

    • Yeah, that's… not gonna happen. Not any time soon. 😉 I talk quickly. And… a lot of podcast listeners listen on 1.5x or something. So, maybe they slow down the podcasts I'm on a little bit. 😄 
    • I don't really agree with that. Nor that. The commonality among the game's best putters (not 100%, as I'm in that group 😄) is that they generally use lighter putters. The science is that they have more fine-grained control over the speed.
