I break 90 quite regularly.. was close to breaking 80 a few times, but only managed it on a par 68 course with a 79 (so I won't let that count, I want it to be on at least a par-70 course). Also I don't count the time on Toptracer when I shot a 73 on St. Andrews. 😉

 

I did just purchase LSW, but was a bit surprised to see that shipping and import fees to EU cost as much as the book itself.

I may be mistaken but I believe there are people across the pond that do have copies and the shipping would be much cheaper.  @iacas?

thanks! at this point I have already paid for it, but I think such high fees may scare some potential buyers off.. I only saw the link to ebay for "international buyers", so that's where I went. I was not aware whether there'd be others over here with copies.

They cost what they cost. There's not much we can do about it. We've sold a few thousand copies to Europe, though.

First class international package shipping via USPS to Scotland is $27.15, for example.

No, nothing for birdies. They're relatively common. I added the other awards for you.

New member. Was wondering how to earn these achievements. Thought they were forum related, lol. Given that we're talking real world stuff, I have the following...

• Broke Par - Lowest score was a 65 at my home course. Three putted the 9th to go out in 31. Shot 34 on the back. Was a good day. But a little bitter sweet missing out on a 29. 
• Hole in 1 - I have two. Freshman year of HS in a match. Then again by myself when I was managing a course after college.
• Eagle - Many, but none coming to mind that really stand out.
• Tournament Winner - Have quite a few wins, most memorable was the Mentor Invitational back in HS. Really deep field with 24 teams participating. Long course. Half the day it absolutely poured rain. Shot 74 (+2), which included a quad on a par 5 after putting two tee shots OB. Made birdie on the last hole to avoid a playoff and take the win outright.
• Shot your age - Not sure if this one qualifies as it's only on 9 holes. And being mid-thirties and a decent player, it's not nearly the feat that it is for guys who can do it on 18.

No, that one's reserved for our older golfers. 😄

You got the others. Thanks!

So, I've been away for a while but I finally achieved an eagle on a par 4.

Colonial Golf Course - Meridianville, AL - Hole 15 - 286 yards - Saturday, June 4, 2022

Drove the ball to the front edge of the green and narrowly missed (less than 6 inches) the eagle putt on Friday.

Came back on Saturday and pushed my drive into a mound on the right and had 39 yards left.  Hit a little quarter gap wedge into the fringe and watched the ball trickle into the cup.

I've broken 80 twice.  

I've made an eagle a couple of times. 

 

[Seeking70s]

I have broken 80, made a few eagles, and purchased & read LSW. 

[Friz]

I'm overdue for a little flair.  Have broken 90, and have one lifetime eagle to my name.

Hopefully some more to come

Finally broke 100 on a "True 18 Holes".  I've had several 9 hole rounds combined to be under 100 but today was my first ever true 18 holes under 100.  Shot 52 on Front and 45 on back for a 97 at Leslie Park in A2, MI

Oops, just noticed I broke 100 last year.  Oh well, 2nd time still feels nice 😊
