Back in high school (ancient history) I shot 82 once, and that was after a triple-bogey on the first hole. I've still got the scorecard around somewhere. I got my first (and only) eagle on a short par-5 and sank a 40 foot putt, downhill across not one but two ridges, on the 18th.

90...I shot 90 something like 8 times!!!!!

Can't begin to tell you how many 2 foot putts, skyed drives or shanked 8 iron shots I lose sleep over...knowing full well that just one properly executed one would have gotten me an 89!

90...I shot 90 something like 8 times!!!!!

I have shot 40 on the same course 5 times. Every time there are 3 or 4 shots that I look at and say how did I possibly blow that one? Even last week when I shot my personal best of 1 over for nine holes, it started double bogey, bogey. I also chunked my approach shot on #4.

I scored an 87 Saturday beating my previous best by two strokes. Yesterday, my wife and I were able to card an 80 playing a two-man scramble format which beat our best score on that course by three strokes. Pretty good weekend for golf. :0)

Shot a 75 this last Thursday. Bogeyed the last hole, but i didn't mind cause i was pretty happy to get the round over with without blowing up. This was after having shanks for the last two weeks. Golf is pretty crazy. Could have quite easily posted an even round, but for the double and triple bogey's i took on the 4th and 12th holes. Still very happy though. I'm a 13 handicapp and have been playing 11 months.

shot a 1-over par 73 in a high school tournament last year and won. One eagle and three birdies on the par fives no double bogeys. How long are the courses you are playing? Mine only played 6350 yards but had lots of trees.

pretty good for a 36 h/c. the course i play regularly plays 6900yds. but a tight course for 6350yds isn't so bad. i'm seeing more and more courses under 6000yds. so you can feel good about yours.

i was working in the belfry pro shop at the time and at the end of the day, and by that i mean of a belfry end of day not 4.30, lets get every available penny out of every guest 8.30 end of day. so we went out when it was already getting dark i took a buggy and then birded the first three holes then missed a tiny put for birdy on the forth and again on the 5 and then again on the 6th so i was 3 under for 6 i should have been 5 under at which point it was pitch black, i wonder if i had got to carry on or if there was maybe 1 hours more light. im sure i missed the first 2 puts due to light the 6th hole im not so sure, anyway i will never know... all i do know was that i was on fire! everything off the screws and down the pin. oh well.

The lowest round I've ever shot was in a men's open tournament in 2005 at Sunset Ranch here in the Okanagan. It was a 74, I was an 11 handicap at the time. We were teeing off on the 18th hole and one guy in our foursome says to me "hey all you need is a birdie on this par 5 and you can par the course! Thanks a lot buddy. That was the first time all day that I thought about how well I was doing and promptly made a boggie to finish. I held it together the next day and shot an 81. I ended up with a low net score of 133 and won the overall low net for the tournament. I was a pretty happy camper.

My lowest round was a 76 at my Old Tappan Golf Club. It really should have been a 75 or a 74 as I made two careless putts that cost me.

However my most satisfying round was a Caledonia in Pawleys Island, SC this summer when I shot a 79. I was playing with a set of blades a friend let me borrow, and had no clue as to green speed before I started the round. All things considered I was very pleased with it, especially after years of playing down there in my early golf years.

Lowest true 18 - 90 on a 69/108 and 6676 yards - But it was in March, and there wasn't a leaf on a tree and the fairways were rock hard so I was getting a ton of roll - still my most consistant round to date - Pretty much bogey golf - 4 pars, 11 bogeys, 2 doubles, 1 triple.

I tied my lowest 18 yesterday with a 90 at Mira Vista (70.0 / 122, 6490 yds.). I shot 42/48, and the 42 is my lowest 9 ever. Great day for me. 5 pars, 8 bogeys, 5 doubles.

    • 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.
