Bought and read Lowest Score Wins. Do I need to show a receipt or something?

I just started reading it last night.

Does an even par 72 count as “breaking par?” Or do we need to shoot a 71?

No, unfortunately. Breaking par means under par.

Shot 71 yesterday (71.4/127) 6385 yards, par 72. I'm sure as hell am not a "stupid monkey" yet.

So I'm claiming the "broke par" award.

Congrats! Removed the Broke 80 award too.

I'm currently reading LSW, which I bought.  I'm not sure what I need to do to get the stupid monkey, but I'm trying...

Congrats! The Stupid Monkey topic has its own nomination topic, and we talk about what's required there. Certainly being a bit more involved here would strengthen your case. 🙂

I hope you bought it from https://lowestscorewins.com. Please do not buy from Amazon as that current seller of new books is selling stolen, illegally printed copies of lower quality.

(Question, off topic for the thread):

Spoiler

Would it help somehow if some of us posted to Amazon that the seller "is not an authorized seller of this product"?  I'm assuming you did that already, but would it help if others did it as well?

Probably. But if they have not taken action yet… I don’t know that they will.

[surfmonkey89]

I did. Fortunately, I read about the “situation” here first.

I have lurked on this site for years, and have finally started posting a little, at least...  Time for me to claim my glorious achievements!  i wish there was one for shooting par... 😞   I have broken 80 had eagles and won team tournaments, but never individual... (don't want what i haven't earned).   And will continue to read my new copy of LSW that i got last week.

[tehuti]

I broke 100 today! Shot 46/48=94.

[Edsland]

After 40 years I took a couple lessons this spring and I finally had my 1St eagle

[Shindig]

28 of the past 29 days (I missed two days ago) I did at least five minutes of practice each and described it in the "5 minutes practice" thread each day, as appropriate.  I forget if I'm supposed to say this here too.   

New goal for me:  don't lose this merit badge this time!

Yep!  Did it finally... shot one under today!

[tehuti]

I broke 100 last week and then today. Last week I shot a 94 on a par 71 course and 95 today on a par 70. Does it only count on par 72 courses? I know I’ve played both of these courses before and definitely shot over 100 on each. So it feels like an achievement to me.

I believe it counts.  I certainly hope so, not only for you, because my home course is a par-71 and when I finally break 80 on it, and due to frequency I'd bet it's the first course I do that on, I plan on asking for the achievement award  

Congratulations on the double digit scores by the way. 

[Cantankerish]

Oh yeah.  Well done, tehuti.  As we get better at scoring, we discover more facets to the game.  Hopefully you are finding joy discovering those in your increasing ability.

Won my first tournament today so claiming that achievement.

It was called The Players Tournament and was part of the Central Ohio Golf Club.

Here are more details about it

You got them all, plus this one (which replaces your broke 80 award):

I try to just notice those in that topic occasionally. Good work.
