simple question, if my best score ever is 47 on 9 holes, my best 18 is probably 110, have I "broken 100"?

(don't get to play a lot of 18 hole rounds is why I ask)

no, but you've broken 50 on 9, similar, but not quite the same

good luck...

what is par? i was almost impressed with myself last year reviewing my scores when I saw that I had posted a couple of mid 90's scores, then i realized that par was 65 on the course... talk about being deflated!

I also play on a 9 hole course frequently enough, and it is only a par of like 32. So any score over 41 doesn't really boost the ego any more either :0)

The way I broke 90 was treating every hole as a par 5. You will be surprised how close you will get. It helped me not get rattled when I missed the par putt.

No - breaking 50 for 9 holes is not the same as breaking 100 for 18.  I also play mostly 9 hole rounds.  I play 9 once or twice a week but only get out for a full 18 5-6 times per year.

I have scored as low as 42 for 9 holes but my best 18 hole total is 94.  For me, the difference is focus.  It's not that I get physically tired on the back nine - it's that I lose focus and become "mentally tired".  I think if I played 18 more often, my 18 hole scores would come down - it's just that I'm used to focusing on golf for 2 hours at a time.  In a sense, it's the same principal at play that makes it much harder for pros to shoot 4 low rounds than just 1.

re: breaking 100/90/80/etc.

websites like OOBgolf will let you calculate a handicap based on 9 holes at a time.  It isn't official, but for ranking yourself against other golfers and knowing where you stand, I think if the scores you say are legitimate than you will know where you stand.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
