nothing to add, just that my last three rounds have been below 90 (85 82 87), so I guess I can realistically look forward to breaking 80 (again) soon provided I can get out more than once every two weeks. If not, thats okay too.

I am new to this Forum and I have really enjoyed reading it.  So here are my achievements:

1 Eagle this year in April, left a putt on the lip for a second

Broke 90

Breaking 80 - twice this year BUT if you do not reward this I am fine, both courses I shot 77s BUT Par on both of the courses was 68.  So your call either way I am fine.

Played Even Par - yet I do not know the rules for this one as it was for 9 holes.  On the front nine I was even boogey (4 doubles, 4 pars, 1 bogey, missed 5 putts at 3 feet, argh) on the back nine I played even par with 2 bogeys, 2 birdies and 5 pars and left a putt on the lip on 18 to finish 1 under, double ARGH.  So if even Par is required for 18 holes I am fine with that.

Under Par, yes I have BUT that was 15 years ago prior to my long break from the game, in the last 3 years I have not done that yet, I have been close so if that was to long ago I feel fine with not having that one.  All your call.

Is the LSW book available in electronic form?  I would prefer to purchase it that way to read on my Surface.

Thank you TST - great forum, djake

Got it… for the 90. If you decide that you want to earn the 80 badge at any point in time, please update this topic. You seemed unsure, so I didn't want to give you an award you weren't sure you'd really earned.

No.

I think I'm going to claim it.  I shot 40/39 to break 80.... On a par 70 course.  I only claim it because it's a difficult par 70 course, only 2 par 5s, no driveable par 4s and the par 3s are tough!

I've been hesitant to claim due to my fear of stating anything in front of the golf gods, but a good swing > silly superstition...so here goes.

Broke 90, shot 89 when I visited my dad.

I broke 100 today. It's a big deal for me. So far I've only played 13-14 rounds. It's a great day.

Congratulations!

Had my first Eagle in a long, long time yesterday.  Thank goodness for Clayton County Club and their short par 5 of only 480 yards!

May need to play this course more often.  Been never that I could go driver, wedge on any par 4, and got that opportunity twice yesterday plus driver, 5 iron into a par 5.

2 holes in one - same course same hole - Philadelphia Country Club #5

Broke par 3 times two times at Philadelphia Country Club and 1 time at Tiburon in Naples

At least 5 eagles with the holes in one. 

Most important love the game that I passed it on to my kids.

Ordered LSW yesterday afternoon, as a show of appreciation for TST as much as the book/content itself. Looking forward to reading it!

Thanks! You'll enjoy it.

You already have the award so I must have given it to you when you said you were going to order a week ago or whatever!

Erik will be along eventually and get you set up with the other achievements, but the stupid monkey achievement is a bit more rigorous. 

Whike you may very well be one, this specific achievement is earned over time- typically in a member swing thread.  Someone else usually nominates you, and it's for sustained and documented commitment to very focused aspects of swing improvement. 

I'm on my phone right now so it's a bit hard to search the site and paste links, but you can search the term for more details if interested. 

And welcome to TST! Glad to have u

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.
