Have you ever shoot a bogey free round ? Not me... Break par a couple times each year but on every single round of my entire life there was at least one bogey in it or worst.
As i´m still waiting for the first hole in one to come, shooting a bogey free round it´s one of my big milestones in golf.

Could a bogey free round worth a place in the TheSandTrap´s achivements??

A poll? When the only vote that matters is mine? :-D

We already have the "breaking par" achievement, and a bogey-free round is even less likely to be achieved than that. The "Breaking Par" achievement has only been awarded to only 36 people who have ever broken par.

(Brief aside: oddly, twice last year, I'd have earned the bogey-free round achievement without earning the breaking par achievement.)

Anyway, I'm not opposed to it, but I would want any awards/achievements we add to have meaning and value, and I'm not sure this one is differentiated enough from Broke Par to warrant a separate one.

A bogie free round is EASY...I can shoot a 108+...all doubles and worse.....the symbol should be a piece of cake, or me crying.....or an animated gif of golf clubs sinking in a lake.

Yea, just miss all your putts for bogey on purpose. Easy achievement. 

If the intention of the bogey free round is all pars or better, I think the breaking par one is good enough. Otherwise soon we will have people clamouring for a 59 achievement ;-)

The trick is to do it while trying your best.  Such an agonizing round deserves an award..or maybe a sympathy card.  The award should be a pic of Charles Barkley.

I've actually done both. No bogeys and under par. But I never felt like asking for the under par award because it happened so long ago! Those happened for a different me, not the me I am today. Or, since I joined this forum.

I'm only aware of one bogey free round I've ever had, since I don't pay a ton of attention to practice rounds, and it was a tournament 67 I shot once at the start of a city championship. It was a nice solid round, but I can't remember even one other time it happened for me where I didn't make a single bogey. It would certainly be a pretty rare achievement if it was awarded for all holes being par or better.

I think I'm more interested in just knowing how many people on the site have done it than in there being any kind of award for it. I imagine it would probably be in the single digits, even counting @iacas and @mvmac.

I've done it at least once. Its not something I've really kept track of. But i know for sure my 64 was bogey free. Idk that it needs an award but like pretzel said it would be interesting to know how many have done it.

I'm fine either way, but think only a handful of folks would ever achieve that...not that it matters

Is there an even par for 9 holes badge? I did that on the front this year, two birds and two bogeys. Been the highlight of the new millennium for me.
