I shot a 91, 48 on the front, 43 on the back....I'm a 30+ handicap so shooting 91 today was awesome. I finally didn't lose a ton of strokes on OB, missed chips, and easy putts. Cut about 10 strokes off what I usually lose and had some nice mid-iron strikes. woohooooooo I broke 100 yesterday for the first time and almost broke 90 the next day. I love golf

My low round was at my home course in the summer of '09.

I shot 66 (6 under) and had 9 birdies. I doubled the 2nd hole.

Meriwether National in Hillsboro, Oregon. I think the slope is 125 and the course rating is 71.2.

I was a 5 handicap at the time and shot 68 2 weeks later. It was a good summer.

I've had three 66s, one at 4 under, the other two 6 under.  The most I've ever been on the course is 7 under, after 13 holes, when the air got a little thin and I played the last five holes 5 over.  The 66s were at Harding Park in San Francisco, and another area course that I played a lot but can't remember the name of.

My weirdest round ever was an even par nine holes in a league in Dallas, where I made no pars!  Six birdies and three doubles.

I shot a bogus 65 once, 5 under, at Shamrock hills, the same place I shot the 4 under 66.  I played the first hole and bogied it.  We skipped 2 and 3 and went to the nearby 4th tee to get ahead of slow groups on 2 and 3.  We played around, returning to play 1, 2, and 3 to finish up.  This time, I birdied the first hole.  So...I did play 18 straight holes, starting at the fourth tee, at 5 under.  Yeah...doesn't count, huh?

I shot 69 the summer after I graduated high school (2007). Course was a par 72 that is 6800 yards from the tips. The 69 was with a 3 putt par on the 18th. I was a consistent scratch golfer at the time, but I didn't make a lot of birdies due to poor putting. I hit 15 greens the day I shot 69 and only made 5 birdies (I was close on more than 5 holes). There were a few 3 putts that day I believe. I am actually hitting the ball better now than I was then (and putting better), I just can't score to save my life. I have also shot 69 on another course that is a par 71. It is much shorter though....around 6100 yards from the tips. Greens are small as hell though. My low on my home course is 73. It's a hard course. 7200 yards from the tips. Some may have played it....Barnsley Gardens in Adairsville, GA.

I tied my best round of 1 under 69 this past Saturday on my home course of par 70.   I shot a 38 (+3) on the front and a 31 (-4) on the back.  It was a pretty even round with 4 birdies, 3 bogeys and 11 pars.  I only hit 8 greens but scrambled to about 80%.  I had 3 3 putts and a penalty stroke (OB) so there's still lots of room for improvement.

I thought I needed birdie on the last hole for even par ... but I had miscounted.   A pleasant surprise of an under par round when I added up my scorecard!

HC=2.9

Lowest round 73 (+1) multiple times.

5 birdies, 4 bogeys, and a double is the most recent round.

I just can't seem to break par.  Its def one of my goals for this year.

My lowest is a 75 at a Father Day's tournament this year.  The course is a 9 hole course that you play twice with some holes playing longer and some shorter.  Course plays a lttle over 6000 yards, so not very long, but the greens are very small, it is an old course that use to have sand greens, and the fairways are not watered so they are hard, not firm, hard.  By the time June rolls around the most of the course is hard pan with something resembling grass on them,

You and me both brother.....I have shot +1 on a handful of occassions, but just haven't broken par yet......last round was a 74 with two "mental" mistake double-bogeys and a three-putt bogey (15 GIRs though, a personal best).....have faith and keep plugging away, it is going to come along.....

17 greens=34putts.........How did you take 32 putts and shoot -7!!!??

I love it.........niiiiiiiiiice!!!!  I know it's possible......can you share other stats of the round???  Very interesting!!!...I love it...

Correction:  One of the 66s was only 5 under.  sigh.  Palo Alto Hills, Palo Alto, CA, par 71.  Says it's index is 71.2, slope 133, but I don't remember it being that tough at all.  Very short course.  The other two 66s were better.  (Actually, one of my best rounds ever was even par, a 72 at Crestwood, Marcy, NY, in a ferocious wind. Score isn't always the best indicator.)

I've shot 73 Numerous times in the past on "real" courses, back when I had no wife or kid and played every day.

My lowest the past few years was a 68  on a par 70, but the course is extremely easy, with an index of 62.4

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
