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.

69 Par 69 at the course I worked back in 2006. Easy course though, 6 pars, 6 bogeys, 6 birdies.

Haven't played much since @ Stupid.

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.....

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

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
