Best start was -2 through 4. Completely didn't know how to deal with it - I've been at -1 but never anything more than that! Put a wedge to a foot on the first, had a great scramble on 2 and did the same on 4 for a tap-in birdie. The bogeys were always going to come as I wasn't firing on all cylinders, but this start did reduce our stableford game to pretty near pointless after nine holes :-).

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

My best start ever was playing the front nine at even par on my old home course from the back tees.  May not sound that great, but at the time was a relatively short driver of the ball, and playing from the back tees meant quite a few of those pars were 1 putts because I just could not get on in regulation.

Your best start may not have been as low a number as someone else, but I bet it felt just as good for you as it did for him.  Congratulations!

Par, par then par 9, 43 on front I have never broke 90 from the white tees. Par 10 and 11 most pars ever from white, Par one more looking at 33 through 7 on the back with a par 4 and 5 left so I can double bogey both. Hit 16 for a 92. Still a good round for me and I normally have 2-3 holes I blow up they normally are in the middle of the rounds not 2 in a row at the end.

My best start to a round ever was birdie, birdie, par. 

My best front 9 ever was 1 over par.

The time I started hole 1 with an eagle I guess.  Par 4 where I hit the second from within a 100 yards and holed out.  Luck I admit.  But barring this the last couple fo rounds I have played started with 4 or 5 pars and something like within 5 over for both front 9's.  Both ended in low 80's courtesy one or two bad holes

I don't have an exact number.  I tend to forget starts when the finishes never keep it memorable.  That said, I'd guess that it was probably something like -1 through 3 holes, give or take.  

Earlier this season, I played in a tournament with a shotgun start.  I started on the 15th hole and began my round par - par - par - double - birdie - bogey - birdie - birdie - bogey - par.  So, I was even through my first 8 holes and +1 through my first 10 holes... but then I closed it with a string of ugliness and posted +12 for the day.

After thinking back, I have started a round 1-Under after three holes at least four times. But, it never lasted...

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.

    • So, last night was the first night of golf league. First tee I stuck in the ground this year. First time hitting a ball off the grass. Left my putter on my indoor putting mat in the office so I was able to borrow one of my pal's spare putters. I putted poorly, but not the putters fault. Took me forever to realize the greens were very very slow. We've had tons of rain and the greens were downright furry. I also went from my car to the clubhouse to the first tee. No warm up.  It took me a bit to get it going. But finished solid. I think I had four penalty strokes in the first 5 holes.
