I played a 9 hole golf course in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco many years ago. I started with a triple boogie on the first hole playing by myself and was joined by two ladies a couple holes later. I ended up shooting par for 9 holes with a birdies and a hole in one in the last hole or 9th hole.

Never give up even when you start with a triple boogie. I have the ball, score card mounted in a shadow box frame.

The first time that I broke par for 18 holes. I was in between my junior and senior year of high school and had been playing right at 2 years. I was playing in a Chrysler Vince Gill junior tournament during the summer. It was a MISERABLE day. It was muggy and raining, but that wasn't the worst part. I've had problems with my left shoulder and it was bothering me extremely bad that morning. The pain was so bad that I could barely make a swing on the range as I was warming up. I nearly WD, but stayed in it because my dad had worked the night before and came to watch me play. I started birdie-birdie, much to my surprise. At the end of the day I had made a few birdies with a few bogeys. I ended up shooting 1 under to win the tournament by 5 shots.

P.S. - My dad stayed throughout the entire round even though he had planned to just walk 9 with my group and then go home to bed.

P.S.S. - It was Beaver Brook Country Club which is a private club in Knoxville, TN so needless to say that was the first time I had played the course. The only time I've ever played there for that matter.

In other words, you aren't just under par for the day, but under par for your total time at the course. Good going!

I don't have a very memorable round of golf to contribute yet.

Haha, true. I never thought of it that way. That's kinda neat. Thanks for the ego boost.

Most memorable is when my Dad and I played Lake Buena Vista at Disney. We played the back 9 without seeing anyone other than the beer cart girl. It was like we had our own private course.

2nd most memorable was a few days later playing the Patrick AFB course. Something caught my attention, looked over and saw a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. I had forgotten they were sending up a satellite. I told my Dad to look. He watched that rocket until it disappeared from sight then turned and said "I've never seen a rocket launch before". That was kinda special.

      Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By saevel25 ·

      Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.

      It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.

      It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.

      Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
