Do you remember the score of your very first round?

[irishmike27]

I was nine years old and shot 68 on a par 31 executive course.

[lumpuckeroo]

I have no idea what I shot my first round, I know the course I played, but I was probably about 10 years old, which was well over 40 years ago, so no way I remember the score.

[ghalfaire]

I really don't remember but it probably looked like a "lazy 8".

[Goat Green]

Yes I do because it was only 2 months ago. I shot a 52 on a par 3.

2 months, 3 lessons, and a lot of practice later.... I scored 38 twice last night playing two par 3's back to back.

Progress.

I certainly do remember the first time I went out and kept my score (not counting a few drunken scrambles at the annual golf outing that finally got me into the game this year) since it was only 2 months ago.  Shot a 65 on a 9 hole par 36 course.  Kept it strict too -- no mulligans, counted penalty shots, including the one that didn't come near getting over the water hazard.  I've been practicing at another 9 hole course, keeping score sometimes.  I plan on getting back to that first course soon so I can see how many strokes I've taken off.

I don't even think I kept score my very first round...All I know is I apparently out drove one of the guys we were golfing with.  Apparently the couple we played with were worse then me and I was only 8!

@ ghalfaire    lol   mine too....first score was  ∞

[Dave2512]

I don't think I could even pin it down to a certain year. I started in the jr golf program and worked from the par 3 course up to the 9 hole jr program to eventually make the jr team for the local course. It was a long, long time ago. I think we actually played 9 holes more often than not. I don't remember playing 18 until I was in my mid teens.

no - it was back in '69

Mine was almost exactly the same, but I was 26.

I don't remember too much of the first several rounds except a cornfield to the right that swallowed most of the first dozen balls I bought.  However, I do remember on one par-3 of around 155 yards, I hit my 5-iron perfectly in the sweet spot purely out of luck, it arched directly for the pin and my buddy who was teaching me how to play exclaimed "Holy shit, you might have an ace!"  It stopped 7" short of the hole, my first birdie and it took two more years and sinking a 50 foot putt before I had my second one.  To this day, 19 years later, I've never hit a better tee shot on a par-3, although I've had maybe 3 50+ yard pitches to less than 10".

The first time I played: 9-hole par-3 course, and I shot 69. I'd never been to a range at that point, but I pured about three shots, and I was hooked.

The first time I played a full-length course: 119.

[NM Golf]

I've posted this before but my first round I shot 103 or 104 something like that. It was the only time I have shot over 100 in my life. I got hooked immediately and have been playing a bunch over since. That was about 18 years ago. I broke 90 that same summer and never looked back.

[jmorg19]

If I remember right, it was around a 110. It was the best looking 110 you will ever see. I'm just kidding it was awful. I lost track of my score on some holes.

[Mattplusness]

A lot.

[turtleback]

101

for 9 holes
