68, on a par 61 executive course a couple years ago. On my regular course, which is a par 72, I shot a 79 earlier this year.

A 74 at 6084 par 71 layout. One double bogey marred round. Key to score was a new 5 hybrid, 26 degree that I used to replace 5 and 6 irons, or 155 to 170 yards. Hit it 7 times in round with only one dud going badly off line. Its a Nickent-- I tried a cheap 5h off ebay--a Pinemeadow Excel that was very inconsistent; what do you expect for $ 30 new? Also was putting great with belly putter which later in the year I started

yipping despite being anchored. I now use a standard length Rife 2 bar and at the moment I am yipless.

64 three times on a tough par 71, 7100 yd track that I get out to a lot. I always seem to miss the putts for a 63! Gotta keep practicing.

I'm assuming you used to be a LOT better than a 4 hcp to do that!

I think he has a minus thingy in front of that 4.

Mine was a 74 on a wide open Oklahoma City course but with a steady 15-20 mph wind. Next day I shot a 75 on it too. Next lowest round was a 75 on a much tougher course. Shot 35 on the front and was even through 15 then bogied the last 3 holes when I realized just how well I was doing.

With those scores it should be a +. And someone playing off +4 should know that......

I've shot 70 three times now. Twice on a short (6200 yard) par 72 course with a 68 stroke rating* and once on a par 72 course with a 70 stroke rating. So my lowest differential so far is a 0.

(* Personally don't find this course any sort of bargain, score wise. With the aggressive rating, you're effectively 4 over standing on the first tee and it's well tight, with OB down one side or the other of almost half the holes.The prevailing wind also funnels through the dune field it's located in like a friggin' hairdryer. Guys who play out of there tend to have rock hard handicaps.)

Shot a 96 the weekend before last with 2 birdies in the same round. I was pretty stoked. I'm excited to play my next round to see if I can do it again, hell, I'm happy if I just break 100, haha.

Shot my best ever 80 on Monday afternoon. I also set a new low score for 9-holes with a 37 on the back-9. Thought there might be a chance I would use the same sort of pattern the first time I broke 90 back in 2006 when I shot a 47 on the front then shot 42 on the back.

77 on my home course in PA(73 rating, 138 slope).

I shot a 76 once in Florida on pretty easy course. I don't count that.

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
