+1 (73) last year.  Was -4 after the front 9, but limped home on the back nine.

I have been playing pretty seriously the last three months and I just bought new clubs last week.  My second time out with them I shot a 79 which is my lowest round ever.  I started using my new four iron instead of my olddd driver and it took 5 or 6 strokes off my game.  I don't feel very manly though.

I feel ya. I know that I could consistently knock several strokes off every round if I just hit a 3 iron off the tee instead of my driver. However, I never do that because in the end I really need/want to lock in a consistently straight drive.

82 at Plum Creek in Kyle, TX

Went there on a whim while travelling with the girlfriend (now fiancee).

That was a magical day.  Couldn't miss the green from 150 out if I had wanted to.

Best 9 was even par.

Best 18 was 76 on a par 70, and a few 79's on par 72's.

I made it to a 9 handicap this season but then put together a string of really bad rounds (like 12 - 3 weeks worth) to put me back up to a 12.  I've produced a pinched nerve in my lower back so I'm making some changes to make my swing less violent and it seems to be working (the 76 was last Tuesday)

This year I have shot 76 to 101.  Mostly in the mid-to-high 80's (with 3 rounds under 80!).

Even par through 9 is my best.  I don't even want to think about what was my worst.

70 (-1) on 18 holes and a pretty short typical public course.. 6500 yards.. Same day my back nine score was 34 (-2). It was a good day haha

Posted

Shot a 78 TODAY! 42 on the front, 36 on the back. The worst part is I was -2 coming into 18 and blew it with a double bogey. Oh well, I'm so pumped to finally break 80.

Golf courses are not all equal!  It sure would be nice if people would post the CR and SLOPE from the tees they played when sharing scores.

IE....scoring 'XX' means absolutely nothing without perspective.

So....did you score "XX" on a 5200yd course with a 67CR and 103 slope, or was it a 7200yd course with a 77Cr and 149slope?   The difference is HUGE!!!  For me, reading that somebody shot XX without a qualifier is meaningless.  Without a qualifier, I assume the course is a short wide-open goat track...LOL

I agree with all of that except the "goat track" part. Ha ha! The only one of those that I've played is a b#%^*.

There's one here that truly qualifies as a very short goat tract that is so bad there is no way to shoot a decent score on it. Anything under 50 putts would probably be the course record. Only two kinds of people play there. Tourists that have no idea how bad it is and people too drunk to care. Does have the hardest par 3 in the world though. 235 yards with a big oak tree in the middle of the fairway blocking the green, which slopes so much left to right that even if you place a ball on the green by hand it won't stay on. All you can do is keep putting at the hole from off the green until you finally get lucky and make one.

That course does have a very useful purpose though. Since all drunks and all manner of idiots are welcome there it keeps them away from the courses the rest of us play.

Darius here -

My best 81 - I think it was Lake Presidential in or around DC.  Why I have no idea it was my first time on the course and everything just worked that day.  I wanna relive that

Worst (since i have been sorta decent) - 103 - the Highlands golf course Bella Vista AR - its a tight course and I was spraying every club i had - i swear i lost a ball with my putter on the green

I have been playing for a little over 6 years

If you are big and tall check out Aveo Golf  - please (really I'm begging you to)

79, par 72 (69.2/120).   Before that, 82 was my best 18 hole score.   I thought breaking 79 had to be a error free (relatively speaking, of course) round but I was wrong.    I felt I've made 4 - 6 errors I could have avoided.   The round gave me hope that I can go much lower but I have yet to match it, 6 months later and counting.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
