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

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.

    • If you still have that code available, I would love to get a copy. We have PowerShell code that pulls indexes and individual 9-hole handicaps for the tee sets of the course we play. We have 40 players and use this data for skins. We do skins by flight which we have 4 of them A,B,C,D and without pulling this data it would be almost impossible to do in the application. Right now, we also grab each "card" as it comes off the course and put it into a spreadsheet to help us understand who won the round and helps us with skins. Each golfer is required to enter their own scores in GHIN also. Our goal is to have each golfer enter in the scores in GHIN but pull the individual hole scores down each week after the round is posted so that we can figure skins, and points. I found a site for APIs, but it is old referencing https://api.ghin.com/api/v1. Our current code uses https://api2.ghin.com/api/v1. I tried using that along with what was provided in the old doc, but it appears many of the API signatures changed. I'm hoping I can use the python code to get examples of the API calls I need. if nothing else I could recode ours to use python.
    • This is pretty interesting. I don't have a Stack radar so I can't use the app, but given what they say it should be fairly easy to come up with some kind of proxy to it if I spend an hour with a trackman. Just note what ball speed gives what distances and plot it. It's presumably not directly linear, but if you hit 50 shots between 30 and 100 yards, you'll have enough to pin down most yardages in that window (yards vs ball speed). Then rather than trying to match distances, just try to match ball speeds with whatever radar you do have. The whole strokes gained thing would be more difficult, but that's not really necessary to work on it. Or just buy a Stack radar...
    • I don't think that is what the study was showing. It just showed that golfers who spent less time over the ball performed better. It didn't say pending their normal pace.
    • No…? When we edit the title of topics, a little note appears.
    • Rush or delay your own pace and you are probably going to suffer in the long run. PGA pro are well oiled machines that work on an specific pace, it's not surprise that if you move them out of their normal routine things are going to go sideways. I normally don't rush shots, but I sometimes delay the trigger if I'm not feeling it. The result is a lack of athleticism, I kind of get a little stiff and I could loose some yards and accuracy.
