I would take the score...I mean you shot what you shot.  With that being said, I wouldn't brag about it really.  I mean, those are some pretty short distances.  But it took good shots to do what you did.  I think it's mainly that the title of the thread is more misleading than anything else.  I know, for me, when I come on here and see a thread title saying "I shot under par,"  I am expecting to see a score of 69 or so on a par 72 course.

Technically, under par is under par and is based on the scorecard of the course you are playing.  But under par at my local putt putt is not the same as under par and my local 18 hole course.  So, I have to disagree that "under par is under par." This is just my opinion.

Nope.  We know what par is.  To the OP-great round, but there is no such thing as a 175 or 180 yd par 4.  An executive course will have short par 4s, but they are usually 240, 250, 260, etc.  By my count you shot 2 over, which is still fantastic.

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

Even though it was a short course, I still had a lot of up and downs around the greens and only one three putt.   If I could do that on my 5500 yrd course I would be in good shape.

    • We had a member of our senior club who developed a mental block on pulling the trigger. I played with him to see what the membership was talking about. I timed him a few times when he would get over the ball. 45 seconds. He knew he had a mental block and would chide himself, “Just hit it!” Once on the green he was okay and chipping was a bit better. It was painful to watch him struggle. Our “bandaid” was to put him in the last tournament  tee time with two understanding players. We should have suggested to him to take a break from our tournaments. I agree with the idea that when a player realizes they have a problem, the answer is to go fix it and not return until they are able to play at an acceptable pace.
