Can anyone top this.  110 yrd par 3.  On in one,  40 ft from pin,  downhill putt.  my putt went past the hole and trickled off the green into a bunker.  Fluffed my first shot out. Next attempt clunked it and into water on opposite side. Water drop.  Chipped on and 3 putted. I near cried :(

lol,  yea,  I might go for it.

The only saving grace was I was on a $hit card at that point. 17th hole. Would have killed me to have a Hex Bogey ( If that's the word ) when I was the right side of 3 or 4 over

I've had some bad days playing, but I don't think I've done that bad on one hole. For me it's usually spread over 3 or 4 holes.

Sure, this guy named Kevin Na carded a 16 on a par 4.  To make matters worse, he was on TV.

We've all had holes like that..and many times too....However the thing is you actually carded the 9...I know too many people who wouldn't have because they "forget" strokes  haha

I drove a short par 4 at the executive course in town, grinning at the shot for my first eagle, and carded a par. That's my WTF moment thus far lol

My buddy's dad put 4 balls in a pond on a par 3 yesterday. They weren't on the long side of the pond though, they were on the short side right passed the ladies tees! We all got a good, tin cup inspired, laugh.

Last week end I was on in regulation on a Par 5 and then proceeded to 6 putt.  I don't even think I had had a 4 putt up to that point in my season.

Don't ya love this game?

I totally hear you. Last weekend at a tournament I had a triple bogey 8 (par 5), followed by a birdie 2 (par 3), followed by a triple bogey 7 (par 4). That's exactly how my season is going, up and down like a YO-YO.

Some shots and entire holes I look like a scratch golfer, and other shots and entire holes, I look like a 30+ handicap. LOL

I came close to that recently on a similarly short par 3.  My first shot landed left of the green.  I flubbed my first chip - went nowhere.  Bladed the 3rd shot over the green and into some bushy scrabble - and lost the ball.  Now I'm hitting 5 back onto the green  - which I do and then 2 putt.  I carded a 7 but I'm sure my actual score was "disqualified" because I was so annoyed that I didn't really pay attention to where I was dropping the ball - I just sort of tossed it onto the grass near the scrub.

I feel your pain brother.

Just recently I went to extra holes in my clubs Match Play event. The first payoff hole was a strait, easy par 5. I was on in three and my opponent was on in five. He one putted and I four putted to lose by one.

I would have been DQ'd I dont carry that many balls haha

As for me reaching par 5s under reg and then walking off with par or bogeys are pretty brutal

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
