This has been a long time coming.  I shot 85 yesterday, breaking 90 for the first time.  Southwinds is a short, technical, par 70 with narrow fairways, nearly acute doglegs, lateral water, and a couple of driveable par 4s.  I actually shot 89 there in the past and refused to call it breaking 90.

Tee shots were good, approach shots actually were not great (5 GIR), chipping was kinda meh, putting was very good.

Well done!

Just got my first ever eagle! Par 5 at the trails of Frisco golf course!! Long straight drive, 205 left to the green and somehow my hybrid 4 iron rolls right up there, leaving a 15 footer downhill that somehow drops for the three! Coolest part...my dad was there to see the whole thing unfold.

I broke 100 today!  Returning to the game after 30+ years.  3 lessons so far.  Shot 97 this morning before it became unbearable in South Texas at Landa Park Golf Course in New Braunfels, TX.  Kept in in the fairway more times than not and would have done better if I could eliminated my 3 putts.  Yay me!

I was going to add the other 3.5 holes I filmed during my round for my NC application vlog and make a vlog for the Vlogging badge, but then I realized it falls short of the 7 hole minimum requirement. Oh well.

The reason I'm posting here is I'd like to claim the TST Outing Organizer badge for organizing the NE Staff Outing the last two years. That qualifies right? 😃

Shot an 88 on Bethpage Green but first and last holes converted to par 3s although the 18th was a borderline par 4. So not sure which one it qualifies for, breaking 100 or 90, but I'll take whichever, to be honest, I'm just glad to be able to finish 18.

I finally broke 100! I've been taking lessons and hitting the range, but due to a few minor injuries and weather and life, haven't had a chance to play all summer until this past week, and I shot a 94 at the Keystone River course in Colorado, 47 on front and back.  The interesting thing was I only made one par and no birdies (not even a shot at one), and was pushing almost all my shots right, but I also only made one triple, it was just a bunch of bogeys and a few doubles. A few more pars or single bogeys and I could have broken 90.

I turned around and shot a 119 yesterday on an "easy" but also very wet muni course here in Chicago with a bunch of horrible skulled/chunked chips and 4-putts, despite finding my draw (and hook) again and mostly hitting the ball better, so it's not all puppies and sunshine.

Hello @iacas...May I have an eagle award? Thanks, -Marv

Shot a 78 at Pine Lakes GC in Hubbard, OH on Thursday. Best round I've had in about 2 years! So, I'm claiming the 'Broke 80" badge.

Congrats! Because you said it was a borderline par four, I'm calling it an 89 for a broke 90. 🙂

Uhm, you've had the "Broke 80" badge since February, 2017.

@iacas

I'm happy to say that I broke 100 as I previously posted in the goals thread. 

[djake]

I finally remembered to get Lowest Score Wins.  It just showed up.  Can I have the badge now?

 

[gjunkie57]

I broke 90, shot an 86.

Next up, 80!

[tehuti]

I shot 33 on my local par 29 9-hole course. Including a birdie plus my longest drive ever on one of the 2 par 4 holes.

Just a practice round, but man did it feel good.

@iacas I broke par on the Scarlet Course (68 on the par 70) at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC during a charity Pro-Am.

I got under par with an eagle on the 16th hole (a short Par 5). I won a charity tournament there with my partner, John Ashton (played Sgt. Taggart in Beverly Hills Cop). Funny dude.

Also (not on the same day) I aced the 12th hole at the Legacy Club at Alaqua Lakes (The Tiger Trap hole from the Buick commercials).

I thinks that puts me at Broke Par, Eagle, Hole-In-One, and Tournament Winner.

My next goal will be LSW. I meant what I said when I told you that I respect your place in the game. We are all here to learn. No hard feelings...
