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

      Enchanting Golf Traditions (From Around the Globe)

      By Nave ·

      Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.

      I'm not sure who said it first but I've seen it a lot. There's this "think box" vs "play box" theory. I've also seen it with a planning vs doing line on the ground. The idea is basically you stand away from the ball (a couple feet) and do your "think box". This is where you do your planning, your swing cues, your practice swings (if you believe in practice swings.) All of that is done in the "Think Box". Then you step into your "play box" address the ball and hit it. Sometimes it's done with a imaginary line on the ground. You do all of the think box stuff behind the line. Then once you cross the line you step up and hit it.  Here's Annika Sorenstam demonstrating the "Think box" and "Play box": So, Annika's time over the ball is really short. Because she did all of that other stuff not over the ball, but in her "Think box".  There are lots of variations on this theme. But I think you get the idea.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By GolfLug ·

      I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.
