I've broken par alot.
Plenty of eagles.
Hole in one last year at the Neuse country club hit 8 iron from 165 and got to see it go in.
Albatross this year at pinewild.  Had 222 to a front pin wasn't playing that great that day but, hit a 3 hybrid over a pine tree didn't get to see it go in but, once I got to the green my playing partner started yelling that it was in the hole.  Pretty awesome and got it recorded in gamegolf.

I've won a few CGA events but, nothing spectactular.

Okay, all set. Post more, eh, @poser.

Hole in one details was at the Neuse country club uphill par3.  Had 165 and hit 8 iron it hit right before flag released and disappeared.  Had 3 of my friends there and we had literally just talked about we have never had a hole in one in our group.  Cool thing is my buddy had one 2 months later and I was there to see it as well.

I gave you the first two. PM me your name or something for the LSW award. The Stupid Monkey award takes some doing, and I don't know if we have the proof to award that one to you.

  • LSW (what evidence needed for this?)
  • Eagle
  • Hole-in-One (8i off yellow blocks to the 6th at a place called Radcliffe-on-Trent about 9/10 years ago with a Titleist NXT Tour ball that I saved and still have at home)

I love that you're still using Scorecard, and that you fill in notes on every hole. I am glad it's held up (the software).

Many thanks for that.

To coin a phrase, Scorecard just works, even after several MacOS upgrades. Kudos to the coders ;-)...

I would like to claim the "broke 80" achievement . Oops maybe I already got it

That's the only one you have, yes.

You haven't bought LSW or had an eagle or done some of the other things?

Well since I am back I will claim some Achievements

I have broken par many times the last was two weeks ago.

I just won my fifth Club Championship last month 8/12-8/13

I have had many eagles including several multi-eagle rounds the last one was two weeks ago today.

I guess that's it as I am STILL waiting for that first Hole in One :~(

Finally made an eagle... 

I actually thought with my length it would have been a drive a par-four or reach a par-five in two... But it was a hybrid off the tee and a holed-out 7-iron from 160 yards on the par-4 5th hole at Newman last night.

I thought if and when I finally made one it would have been make a long putt or pitch in from like 30 or 40 yards... But no, it was a 7-iron from 160 yards.

Forgot to mention it was a par-four

Not sure if either of these count, but here goes anyways (both of these "achievements" were in the same round last night, 9/13/17)!

Played from the forward tees for 9 holes (only a 9 hole course) and shot a 33 which is 2 under the par 35 for 9 holes.  I would assume that breaking par only counts over 18 holes?

Also had my first ever Eagle (also from forward tees) on a 295ish par 4 with a 70 yard gap wedge that trickled in somehow.  Got insanely lucky to be where I was on my second as I bonked a tree pretty hard with my driver trying to cut the corner of the hole but my ball decided to go extremely straight that swing...

Going to claim my broke 80 prize after shooting lowest round since my return to golf with a 79 yesterday at Ives Hill.  

Also a shout out to LSW....  Been using some of the strategy ideas especially on the par 5's not laying up or trying to figure perfect approach distance on 2nd shot, and firing at the middle of greens when further than 150 yards out instead of worrying about front pin or left pin etc.  

Think those 2 things alone helped save a few pars and prevented my usual bogey on both par 3's on the back nine.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
