Okay so we've touched on best start & birdie streak - now post about your most memorable streak of holes it can be scoring or something else that made it memorable, this is one of mine

One of mine was playing Oakland Hills South about 6 or 7 years ago, there was an charity outing earlier in the day and that slowed the pace of play (also we found out after the round that the pins were in the Sunday Ryder Cup locations). I felt like I was hacking it up pretty good, not getting anything close and not making any putts, this culminated at 14 with taking two hacks to get it out of a greenside bunker. My caddie gives me a short pep talk walking to 15 and I finished round going par, par, bogey, par. I hit the green on 15, 16 &18, and was left and slightly long on 17 and couldn't play at the pin as there was a bunker in the way. That finish, on the closing holes, completely changed my round, although not my score that much.

3 consecutive birds, twice.  

Played last year with a bud who made b2b eagles, HIO, then a 3 on a par 5.  Never seen that before (he was probably a 15 capper too but those 2 holes allowed him to break 80 that day).  Pretty cool.

I tend to play my rounds in groups of 3 holes. (6 groups). More often than not my middle 6 holes will be my best scoring streak of my round. (holes 7 - 12). Several times I have been at par or better during those holes.

Twice I've made 5 consecutive birdies. The interesting part is that I made them on the same holes (10 through 14) on two different golf courses.

Last year when I played Bethpage Black, I made three birdies in a row on 12, 13, 14 to go from a kinda mediocre round to a very good one.

Probably the back 9 of my personal best 91 (have shot it twice) the first time. It was a 42. Up until that day, I had never shot better than 48 on 9 holes. For 10-14 I had 5 bogies in a row. Doubled 15, got pissed that my streak was broken and then parred the last 3 holes. One of the few times I feel like I really didn't care about score and just tried to enjoy the game and I shot way better than usual.

First and only time I have broke 80 the back nine, I am a consistent low to mid 80's player and this fall was playing one of my two home courses and I shot a usual 42 on the front and at the end of the day I shot a 78.

Shot an even back nine with one bogey and one birdie and I didn't even realize what I had done until I counted it up after, I was hitting the ball well and I hit 8 of the 9 greens and had barely realized it until I counted up my score and it said I had shot even!

A few years ago I played Bountiful Ridge in  Utah  one of the best in the area.  I made 18 pars   one of the best rounds of my life.

From hole #4 to #10 at Hunter's Ridge (MI) I birdied 5 of the 7 holes for a -5 stretch.  Best part was it was on my 60th birthday. Haven't had a similar stretch again (YET!).

was a high eighties golfer at the time, playing a tough, but favorite nearby course.  back 9 consisted of six straight pars, on 16 I was getting so nervous, I yanked my drive left into some small trees.  Got to it only to realize that somehow (really) it had landed in about the only spot possible with a full swing and an opening out, I literally laughed out loud when I saw it sitting there.  Popped it on the green from about 140 and 2 putted from there.  Then on 18, I plugged one in the greenside bunker, exploded out to about 10 feet and drained it for an even par back of 36.  Most solid stretch of holes I have ever played, been searching for one like that ever since.

6, 7, and 8 at Frisco Lakes Golf Club. Im not a very good golfer but I have parred that string of holes every time Ive played that course save twice. Its the strangest golf phenomenon Ive ever seen. A lovely stretch of holes too. 8 is an island green similar to the one at toc sawgrass.

I went -1 through holes 11-17 on Cranbury Golf Club a couple of years ago. One hole that sticks in my mind is the  birdie on the 15th after I put the ball on the green with my 2nd shot. Best 3w I ever hit.

Finished with a 40 for the back 9, but more importantly, I won the money :banana:
