i broke 100,90 and 80 over a course of 10 years first eagle when i was 12 and hole in one at 15

[jkelley9]

I'm happy to report that I sank my first eagle putt Saturday morning on the 18th hole par 5 at Blair Park in high Point, NC - one of my regular courses!

It was particularly satisfying playing with a few folks I hadn't actually played in a group with but have played with as part of our regular 10-20 guys Saturday mornings. 

It was only a 445 yard par 5 because we were playing from the senior tees (my cart buddy was 84 freaking years old, but was a hoot!) total 5,737 yardage for the round. I hit a monster drive that caught the hill and rolled down and to the left quite a ways leaving me 135 yards to the center of the green. Ball above my feet I knew my 8 iron downhill would be perfect, knowing that I'd rather be long than short (bunkers front left and front right). I don't do particularly well with ball above my feet or below my feet but I hit that sucker SOLID. To about 15 ft of the cup. Then sank the clutch putt!

An awesome experience! My first eagle in ~3 years of playing!

Shot an 82, too, which was MUCH better than I had been shooting. Albeit that's not a real representation of my skill because these guys play some funny rules. Highest HC hits from the ladies tees on #1 and #10 and we play best ball from there (on those two holes). Although both times we ended up playing my ball (not from the ladies tees this time) because I was hammering it and hitting it straight. But still, it's certainly not a round by the rules of golf. We keep "handicaps" but they aren't recorded - it's just an internal handicap amung us for side bets.

Wondered how and where achievements came from.

I've broken par,  ( handicap is +3)

2 eagles on par 5's so far this year

Hole in one 2 years ago on vacation in Arizona at Karsten ASU course.  My first one.

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.

Got 'em all!

All seven of us did not know each other previously and had not played together.  I think @Braivo mentioned he had played in an outing in Ohio within the past 1-2 years with you and other TST members.  Other than that, I do not believe anyone has played in a TST event of any kind.

While we are on the subject, @tlazzol and @bkuehn1952  share the "organizer" role for the outing.  Terry researched the area courses and arranged for a nice deal via Groupon and Brian rounded up the participants and guided the selection of the time/date/location.

Bought and am reading LSW - excellent stuff.

[Apoc81]

Well, after getting back into it, i'm playing well. I broke 90 3 times in my last three rounds. 

 

Do past achievements count, or is it from here forward? Because before my injury, I had many eagles over the 20 years I played, two Hole in Ones in my lifetime, and i've broken 80 more times than I can count, butI don't really want the breaking 80 badge, I want a little goal to work towards, but I would like the Hole in One badge since it's not really something you can practice getting better at. I'm sure i'll get an eagle soon, so I don't want that one right yet either. 

 

Edit, didn't even realize I posted in here already.

I made an eagle. I have broken 90, too. I have plenty of LSW books around, so that counts too right?

[Midpack]

I've had one eagle on a par 3 and several on par 5's, but never on a par 4 that I recall in 53 years - until yesterday. Hit a big (for me) drive within 35 yards on a short par 4, and chipped in. Lofted a SW over a hazard and once on the green it broke right to left about 5 feet. 98% luck but fun to watch. As you all know - these are the shots that keep us coming back out to play, and ease the memories of poor shots.

[Stickner]

New to the forums.

• I have had many eagles and one time eagled back-to-back par 5's. 
• I bought LSW
• I have had 2 hole-in-ones (they were 6 days apart!)
• I have broken par 12 times, but haven't done so in a decade (long hiatus from the game). The index is coming back around and I have recently broken 80. 

[Pepsivanilla93]

I broke 100 for the first time on June 3rd. I also shot a 91 today to beat that record.

 

 

[Aus10]

I broke 80 a few weeks ago for the first time this season

 

[DeadMan]

Forgot to claim the eagle achievement. Let's just go with the 2 I made from 180 on a par 4 

[p1n9183]

I think i can apply to be a stupid monkey.

All i care in practice sessions and on the course is what i need to do to improve the area i`m practicing. I don`t care how I do my swing and the faults i have, i even don`t know them I just focus on changing something in it to acomplish my intended shot shape and been consistent at it. Im my own instructor, don`t know if that counts. I don`t see videos of mecanics or ask for advice in it, I just feel what i need to do with my body in order to hit the way i want, chip it close or putt it in line or in the correct speed.

[Grass Destruction]

FNG here.

• I broke 80 earlier this year (April I think) when the golf gods smiled on me and I shot a 74 (+2).  
• I also bought your Lowest Score Wins and I'm currently working my way thru it. 
• I've had a hole in one 2 years in a row. Hopefully this will be the 3rd! 

[Killa]

Got my hole in one yesterday. Also bought LSW. I have won my first tournament in the 36-54 hcp group.

I saw a Member Reviewer achievement floating around and would like to add that.  I believe my first one was in March of 2015.  Items I have reviewed offhand:

• Bridgestone e6 balls
• Snell Get Sum Balls
• Ping Glide wedges
• "On the green" belt
• Stable Stick
• Mantis Putter
• Adidas Shoes

 

I still use most on that list -- I liked the stable stick and Mantis putter, but had other options I preferred (in the case of the Mantis putter, I used it for a while and later replaced it with the Edel).  The other five are still in general use, although when I run out of e6s, I will probably lean towards the Snell balls entirely. 

I haven't done a member review in a while, in part because I haven't been around as much.
