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.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
