I have a few to claim. Hope that I'm able to claim all of them.

I have had two and a half holes in one. The two were in 1998 about two months apart from each other. Both were in tournaments. The first one was in the British Universities Strokeplay at Headingley Golf Club. During my round I ran the circle on the par 3s. They went 4, 1, 3, 2. The 1 was with a 4 iron and wasn't a great swing but I saved it well with my hands. The second one was in a tournament on the south coast of England and was a very good shot. The half was on the pitch and putt course at Turnberry.

I had an albatross once. I played four holes in even par with three bogeys. Wound up shooting 74 on a par 72 for the round. That was in about 2004 or 2005.

I've had lots of eagles. Most recent one I remember was the 18th hole at the Creek Club on Long Island. Holed about a 45 footer across the green to win the money.

Tournament winner - I have won a few things that I would put here. I won my club championship back home four times, although that was quite a while ago. Late 90s early 00s. I won the Northern Universities strokeplay back in phew 1998. I have won a few things recently, but they were all very small field events and I won a very big thing earlier this year, but that was a team event, so probably not quite in the spirit of things here. 

I shot a 69 round Bethpage Red from the blue tees in a tournament (one of the small field ones), so I'm claiming the I broke par one as well :)

Lastly so far, I have bought and read Lowest Score Wins. 

Yikes!

It's the "Broke 80" badge/award, so no.

I've a question about these awards (i.e., break 100/90/80).

Can you combine scores from two consecutive days to form an 18-hole score? Say for example I play the Front 9 today and the Back 9 tomorrow.. can I add those together to form a true 18-hole score? 

I apologize if this has already been discussed

I've gotten an eagle and broken 80. Breaking par has eluded me (just barely, though).

Got my first eagle last week, holed out from the fairway with my third shot on a par 5.

Also broke 90 a long time ago (doing my best to break 80 but still some way to go, 83 is my lowest).

I also won two one day competitions last year and one this year at my home club. Don't really know if they qualify for an award though.

That's up to you (the latter competition one). If you feel it's worthy, it is.

I gave you the other two. Congrats!

@3puttmaster, you already have the broke par award.

I awarded it to you on September 22.

You only get the lowest one of the "broke" levels. If you broke par, obviously you broke 80, 90, and 100.

    • Yeah that didn't pass the smell test
    • Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
