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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

    • 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.
