As a mid teen handicapper, it felt great to shoot 2 under par at a local executive 9 hole course.  Although some of the par 4s were only 180 yards, still feels good.

Thats a par 3 course!

Five of the par threes are called par 4s, even though four of them are not even long par 3s!!!

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I play fairly often at a local executive course - a true executive course.  For comparison, here's what its score card looks like (all ydgs from the blues):

1 - 330 yd par 4

2 - 360 yd par 5 (extremely narrow with a pond that requires a 250 yd carry to clear)

3 - 350 yd par 4

4 - 330 yd par 4

5 - 298 yd par 4

6 - 150 yd par 3

7 - 190 yd par 3

8 - 185 yd par 3

9 - 345 yd par 4

Par 34 out, 2538 yds

10 - 360 yd par 4

11 - 215 yd par 3

12 - 500 yd par 5 (best hole on the course IMHO - with a large pond right in front of the green forcing a layup/go for it decision)

13 - 145 yd par 3

14 - 380 yd par 4

15 - 335 yd par 4

16 - 341 yd par 4

17 - 370 yd par 4

18 - 407 yd par 4

Par 35 in, 3053 yds

Total par 69, 5591 yds

This course is more indicative of a true 'executive' course IMHO.  It's not long, but it does have challenging, undulating greens that roll true and fast, lots of terrain variation with plenty of uneven lies and elevated tees/greens, and several very well-placed water hazards that will punish a poor shot.

Without knowing more about the OPer's course, I'd have to call it a par 3 course, strictly based on the yardages.  I can't imagine not having even one 250+ yard hole on a course that calls  'par' in the 30s for nine holes.

Good for you!!!  Enjoy it!!

Under par is under par.  You didn't design the course or print the score card!

NICE JOB!!!

I had a hole in one once on a 120 yard temporary par three .  The guys who drank for free said it counted and that was good enough for me.

Under par is under par!

AND PAR IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THE SCORE CARD!

Congrats!

The rest of these shmoes are just sulking cuz their courses are too hard!

Stop embarrassing yourself....better yet, bring that score card to your home course and really show it off..."No really, I almost carried that 175 yard par 4...so close...so close.."

I'm surprised that 9th hole isn't a par 5 - that shoulda been an eagle!!!

So was it worth taking a shot at the OP. Or could you have just not posted this? I dont think he was bragging he even admitted it in his OP>

Haters gonna hate.

Maybe he'll mull-it over and apologize. Doubtful. Personally, I'd be very satisfied with a 29 on that little course.

Mulled over..You're right, a little harsh.  As a 10 handicapper, I'd take that score any day too.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
