I made my first Ace on July 31, 2020 at Garland Resort - Fountains Course - Hole #5.  It was @ 133 yrds and I used my Pitching Wedge.  Sorry about the delayed post but I am still learning all that TST has to offer.

Hole in One.JPEG

Congrats! One more than me.

Finally broke 80, Bear Mountain golf course.  Not sure it counts, it's a par 70, but you play the same 9 holes twice to play 18, which I did and shot a 78.  Surprisingly for me as it's one of the hardest courses I play because of the speed and slopes of the green.

If you post here, it's your call, so you got it. Nice job.

Howdy. I finally broke 90 on Monday past. First sub 90 on a par 72. 46+43 at Fraserview golf course in Vancouver bc off the men’s whites. Hope that qualifies for the badge. 

Congrats!

I received and read Lowest Score Wins. No doubt, it aided in me putting up my lowest score ever over the weekend.

How do I give myself the 5 minute daily practice achievement?  From the OP it seems I should be able to give it to myself but I can’t figure it out.

Yep, you can.

Someone else can help you out here, because I see things differently as an admin.

I think… Go to the award page and click "New Award".

Thanks. Hopefully someone chimes in. I don’t see that as an option. No biggie. Putting in the work is what matters. The badge is not the goal 😁

    • 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.
