The (No) Sixes Challenge

[reidsou]

This is a difficult challenge. 

My best round ever last week, shot 69 and broke par and 70, both for the first time, but included a 6!

Par 71, shot:

Front: 3,2,4,3,6,4,4,3,5

Back: 4,4,3,4,5,4,3,4,4

An eagle, 4 birdies, 9 pars, and 4 bogeys. Lots of luck: 110 feet of putts made plus a chip in, but missed a 4' putt for a par 5 on #5.

Posted a round today with no 6’s at Woodfin Ridge in Inman, SC. 35-38=73.

Front 443 533 445. Birdied the par 4 third and sixth hole. Came up short on the par 3 eighth for a bogey and finished the side -1.

Back 443 545 445 for a +2. Three putted the par 3 11th from 45’; birdied the par 4 12th; bogeyed the par  4 13th after hitting it over the green and hitting a poor chip; birdied the par 5 14th. On the next hole, their signature par 3 over Lake Bowen to a reverse Redan green I hit it short like I did on 8 and landed in the water. Re-teed and just ran through the green. Chipped to 4’ and made the double-bogey 5. Thinking I was +2, instead of +1, I thought I needed 2 birdies to shoot even. Hit it to 9’, 8’ and 10’ on the last 3 holes but missed all and lipped out on 16 and 18.

15 GIR, 9 fairways, 31 putts, 1 penalty shot. Putting stroke got a little flinch on 5 and had to use a claw for most of the round. Happy I was able to hold it together!

Managed this today. On most occasions when I have done so, it's been because I didn't think about it. Normally it pops into my head somewhere on the back nine and I'll think "oh I haven't made any 6s today" and in the next hole or two I'll make a six. Stupid game. Today on 13 I holed about a 4 foot putt for a five and it popped into my head. Never looked remotely like making a six after that either, so I was pretty pleased with it on this occasion.

Par in the first row then score in the second

443443545 434543444

443444545 544533453 for a 73(+2). Two birdies, four bogeys. It was in a qualifier and it looks like the birdie I made on 18 got me in. 10/14 fairways, 13/18 greens, 33 putts.

It’s been awhile since this topic had attention. I played 9 yesterday and was playing well and thought of this challenge. I didn’t have time for the full 18, but wanted to bump topic for new folks unaware 

also a reminder of

• 6’ putt challenge
• four ball pitch challenge
• Opposite swing challenge
• and flop shot catch challenge

these are fun to do and fun to watch for everyone!

Looking back at my tournament rounds this year, I've played 9 rounds. Of those, I have had no sixes in 4 of them, 1 six in 3 of them and two "others". One of the others I had 4 sixes and 1 seven and the other one I had two sixes and two sevens, so in 9 rounds I've had 12 holes more than 5. and 9 of those were in 2 rounds (one was raining on a course that I struggle on, the other was day 2 of a 2 day event and it was hot and I got very tired and had bunker issues - I think I hit 14 bunker shots in one round). The three rounds that I had one six in, there was one lost ball, one duffed pitch on a par 5 and one flubbed chip and missed 4 footer. Excuses excuses I know 🙂 All in all I'm pretty pleased with how I've played.

Had one of these rounds last Thursday.  Second one of the year.  Both were 15 par/3 bogey rounds without a birdie.
