I broke 90 with an 89 at Oak Run golf course in Dahinda, IL. I'll update on the goals thread and next up is breaking 85.

Congrats!

Broke 80 today, shot a 79 at Sydney Marovitz Golf Club in Chicago. Smooth 39 on front nine and started leaking a little oil toward the end. Had a 10 foot downhill birdie putt on 18, and I didn't want to be the golfer who babied it to the 18th hole - so I rolled it 4 ft past and lipped out the par putt for an ugly ending 40. Still overall it was a 79 and I'm thrilled!!

Nice! Bummer about the last hole.

Broke 90 today (from the white tees) with an 88.   Most consistent round ever...now to turn the 5's to 4's and the 6's to 5's....

I Broke 100 today, shot a 96 (49-47).  Took longer than I had hoped but since I have only played a few full 18 holes rounds this year I will not complain.  Now I need to do this more consistently.

Wooooooo!

Hole in 1 today at Goodrich Country Club in Goodrich, MI.   184 par 3 using a 4H.   I thought the shot was long but couldn't find it past the green.   I looked in the hole and sure enough...

Last Thursday I finally broke 80 by shooting 38-39. It felt really good to get that achievement off my back, and I’m looking forward to more 70s scores coming my way!

Congrats on the Ace, I've looked beyond the green a couple of times
searching for an approach shot and ended up glancing in the hole.
A few times it was hiding there, but most of the time it was buried
in the basement ruff. 😞

About the "Broke 100" achievement, since it was on a PAR-3 course, I don't think it should count.

Today, however, ... 😁

Played my first round of 18 holes in over 10 years today and broke 100 by carding a 91 (I play 9 holes mostly due to lack of time).  I could have easily broke 90 with a few less penalties, so I look forward to doing that again and perhaps breaking 90.

I've broken 90 and 100 before, but may as well start over claiming the awards as I haven't done so in a long time.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
