Do I get an award for getting my first eagle since returning to the game after am 8 year layoff this summer?  The 4th hole at Fountaingrove, 490 yard par 5.  Driver, 5 iron to 10'.  Made the putt for my second eagle ever, and first since starting to play again a couple years ago. 

Looking to break 80 in 2018!

Of course! Award granted. Congrats!

If solo rounds count, I'd like to claim the Broke 90 award. If not, that's cool.

I was so caught up in posting rounds towards my HC last year, I totally missed this. (the first 9 was a solo 46, and the second 9 with playing partners a 41). Anyway, the combined 87 was my lowest 18 hole round.

I also scored an Eagle in 2017 on a par 5 (also during a solo round).

I'm also a newbie but in 2017 I broke 90 quite a few times but never broke 80. 

If you feel like awarding me the breaking 90, I would gladly accept it.

P.s. If there was an award for the most 3 and 4 putts for the year, I'm sure my name would be all over that bad boy! ;)

It's all yours. Let's look to replace it with a "Broke 80" award this year, eh?

Also, both of you could use a nice avatar… :-)

Completely fine if it's only an 18 hole award, but thought I'd post in case it isn't!

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Yeah, it is, sorry.

If you play two nine-hole rounds relatively close together in time (and back to back) and par is 70+, then that might count.

I'd leave that one up to you.

I regularly break 80.

I had 2 Eagles in 2016 within 1 month and never before or since.

You've got 'em! Congrats!

Happy if you award or not! Pretty good rounds when you combine them, but it's not a very long course! Tiny greens though, so there is a lot of defense there. Delighted with the birdie at the last to finish level par as well :-)

That's your call to make. I'd lean toward no, because I'd intended it to be an 18-hole award, but if you almost never play 18 holes… I could see making an exception.

Ok, let's go with no and keep pushing towards doing it - I want to be able to do it on the Championship 18, which would be phenomenally good work for me (6700 yards with some utterly brutal holes in the wind and tough greens). I think you're right, this shouldn't be something that I can do with driver, wedge repeatedly.

Hold on, scrap all of this - I have actually done it already, just at a different course:

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
