By looking at his scorecard. He hit every par 5 in two shots. He three putted one if them, #15. Then he two putted everything else except birdie holes.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

I have shot 64 about a dozen times. It's my personal brick wall and one I don't think I'll ever get to climb over.  The last 64 was about 9 years ago.

79 last year with a birdie on the last hole.

79 2 weeks ago with a double on the last hole

I wanted to at least get 77, but I found a 2 foot wide creek off the tee......

Shot 74 a few days ago for my lowest round since March. I did this despite being completely unable to hit my driver all day

Shot 78 couple of times this year.

About a month ago, I shot -1 on the front nine, but ended up with 79 for 18.  Arrrrgggghhhh!

My lowest was a 74 (par 70 course). My best was 5 over par at Llanerch Country Club. The rough was deep, the greens were fast and I somehow put together a great round (for me). It was from the white tees but distance wasn't my problem at that point and time. Have shot even par on some 9's but could never follow it up with close to par on the other 9.

This year I haven't broken 80 once. Having only played a handful of rounds in 2009 and 2010 I lost some strokes. I'm sneaking up on it though and expect to get back under 80 either this month or next.

Lowest 18 was a 78 on a course I have only played a handlful of times. Now, I have been living around 80 and 81. Really would love to shoot par by the end of the summer.

My lowest round would be 73 (+1) at the Sanctuary in NE Ohio. Use to be called Bob O' Link before it was sold and redone. Fun course, i like it. Suprisenly it was my first time out playing in almost a year.

And me too brothers!  Even par is my lowest.  +1 plenty of times, but I just can't break through yet.

Broke 70 for the first time ever this weekend shooting 68 on a hdcp of 4. The basics were an opening bogey and then 3 birdies and an eagle. I had shot par of 72 at Wintergreen a handful of times over many years and twice this year and have shot 2 or 3 under on each of the nines during various rounds but never together and can't recall a 4 under nine.

Pretty pumped and hope it's just the start of a run.

I've shot -3 69 on my home course 2 times.  One of those rounds I had 6 birdies, the other I had 4.  I've only had one bogey free round in my life and that was on my home course, shot a -2 70 and used nothing but irons (no woods, no hybrids).  I also shot a -2 68 on a par 70 course one time.  All of these rounds were between 2005 and 2007.  The two 69s were within a couple weeks of each other.  The scorecards for all of these rounds are on my desk at work under the glass...I'll have to look at the dates again.

This year my lowest 18 hole round is 75.  I played a 9 hole track even par last week.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

79 (+9) at my home course of Tea Tree Gully in April or May 2010. The spare hole was in play, dropping par from 71 to 70. Had to make a 12 footer for par on the last to break the 80!

Since then I've had some struggles and haven't been able to shoot low 80's for a while. Working on my swing again.... I'll get there.

    • 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.
