I shot a 67 today

[smaug81243]

... From the ladies tees :D. 4990 yards, rated 68.5/111 for the ladies, unsure what it would be for the men. Next shortest tees are 5678 yards and are rated 67.4/110 for the men. Anyways, I had 4 birdies and 5 pars on the front for a 31 (par 71 course) and 2 birdies/2 bogeys/5 pars for a 36. Both bogeys were stupid mistakes. The first was on a short par 4 (about 270 yards) that is nearly impossible to drive as it is an elevated green with a 20-30 ft high rock wall blocking the front of it and almost no room behind it. I layed up to 150 yds (meant to lay up around 110 but mishit my tee shot) and decided to take an extra club because I was paranoid about coming up short and killing my score. Ended up flushing my shot and was 15 yards over the green into deep rough with an impossible up and down. The next mistake came a couple holes later on a drivable 270 yard par 4 with little trouble anywhere. I decided to pull driver after not hitting a single one all day and ended up putting one in a lateral hazard -_-.

Out of curiosity, what's the lowest you guys have shot when playing it forward? This round really put the pros rounds in perspective. To think that anyone can shoot a 62 or 63 from yardages of 7k + is insane. The margin for error is so incredibly low.

Gj! I shot 71 a couple times in high school. I was never able to join the 60s club ):

My brother and I usually give it a go from the shortest tees once every summer, just to shake up playing the same course all the time.  Best I've been able to muster is a 79, par is 71.  However, this summer my 82 year old dad came to play and we played from the whites, which is around 5500 yds, and I shot a 73.

Hey guys,

I normally play from the most forward mens tees, I'm 57 and my driver is directionally challenged, but every once in a while I'll change tees,

Ladies or white, never from the tips, and my scores never get better.lol.

I joined the 60s club a couple of times from my normal tee ( one set closer from the far back tees) funny thing is I flirted with 72 a couple of times, then bam! I shot 66**and followed it up witha 68, and a half dozen 69s now and then in the same year. Since then different story, I don't think I'll be back now it seems like a decent round is low - mid 70s Shooting 66 for me was magical, yes I chipped in for birdie and made a couple 12-15 footers. I also bogied 2 holes and missed a 3 footer or bird on a par 3. The par fours were center of the fairway, 7,8,9 or ,pw to 6-12 feet, like it was automatic, shots were hit flushed and had " that sound" where you know its good. I never had a huge breaking or down hill putt ** I stopped and bought some power ball tickets on the way home, just in case it was really MY day.
