Hi,  I've tried to get my achievements listed but no luck.  Help me please as I Broke 80 last year, had an eagle on July 4th in a tournament, and a stupid monkey.  Thanks Mj

Can you explain what you mean by "tried to get my achievements?" All you need to do is post here, and they'll show up (assuming the request met the requirements). So you should be getting the 80 and the eagle soon.

Stupid Monkey is an award for those who have used the site to demonstrate their work. If you stick around long enough, create a swing thread, and demonstrate the characteristics of a stupid monkey, then you'll likely get nominated. Here is some other info on the topic:

Does a scramble count on Tournament Winner? Just a thought.

Nice try. Congrats on the 88 and the eagle though! @iacas will swing by this thread soon, I'm sure.

I added the first two. The Stupid Monkey, as noted by @RandallT, takes a bit more effort… ;-)

While I'm not much for tooting my own horn, I figured since I won a 2016 Rookie of the Year Gold award, hey why not?

I did break 80 a couple of times last year, after not doing so for quite a few years. Both rounds were on regulation courses of 18 holes, and done in the company of other golfers who had to buy me beers after the round!:-D

 @iacas  Purchased and read LSW last year before I joined the Sand Trap forum.  Got my first eagle sometime in the 1980's.  Won eight tournaments on the Michigan Amateur Tour from 2008-2012,  Have I been a member long enough to qualify?

Membership length doesn't matter. :-) Just whether you achieved things.

@iacas  Thank you.  Now I'll see if I can add to them.

Right off the bat, I know you can achieve one of the score-based achievements. At your handicap, you've likely broken 80.  There's also a broken Par golf achievement. You get the better of the two (in the u likely case you've done neither of those, certainly the broken 90!)

@RandallT Thanks for reminding this feeble minded golfer.

@iacas  Broke 80 three times last fall after getting fitted for a new set of Wishon clubs.

I had my first hole in one today. Yeah!

It was 174 yards in somewhat cold and windy conditions, with a 5 wood that never left the flag (it was a little left of it when it landed) and rolled in!  Just so we are clear, the 5 wood is my 190-195 yards club, but it was the right club for this job! :dance:

    • Day 2 (20 Jan 26) - Similar work as yesterday - started with lead hand solo drills with the 50°, followed by series of pitches and chips utilizing full setup. 
    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
