After going all of last golf season without an eagle, my first round of the 2017 season saw me drain a 35 footer for eagle.

No hole in one in my career but I did have an Albatross on the short par 5 fifth at Tapps Island in Washington State.

Congratulations! Great stuff.

Broke 80 several times. Did make an eagle this week-end (done that a few times also). Have had three hole in ones (one on a Par 4).

I've got you down for it. Nice work.

I set  a new personal best with an 87 this past Summer and forgot to put in for "broke 90".  I also made my first ever Eagle a few months ago.

 

Thanks!

Figured I would try to catch up and get some bling since I have kind of over looked these.

I've had multiple eagles at my home course, mainly on the same reachable Par 5.

Participated in the TST East Coast outing 6-7 May 17

Not sure about the Stupid Monkey one, I know over the past couple months I have tried to be one

You've got the two.

The Stupid Monkey one has a pretty high bar, and I'm not sure you even have a Member Swing topic…?

Congrats! Pleasure to meet you. Sorry we didn't get to play more golf together.

Iacas, I broke 80 late last year, 78, and again two weeks ago, 79. Does that qualify for the broke 80 award. Thanks. Uitar9 Canada

Hi I bought The Lowest Score Wins last year and it's among my favorite golf books.  Can I have the badge?  I also broke 80 3 or 4 times last year and have 1 hole in one... but it was in 1994.. not sure if that counts.  Thanks.

I'm new to TST, but I have

  • Broken 80 (many years ago, may never again?)
  • Scored several eagles (on par 5's)
  • One hole-in-one.

I assume I just post here, couldn't see where to add myself? Thanks.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
