Best. Round. Ever...

[Sluggo42]

Not my best score tho, but best ball striking ever. Shot a -1 70, 37/33. 4 birds, 3 bogies. And it was a bit windy too. One of the things that I think was helpful was choking up another inch on ALL clubs. Squaring up on driver and hitting the inside of the back of the ball. Stoopid long cuz I was nailing them all right in the sweet spot.

iron play and the wedges were tight. I started using a shorter backswing, and a slight inside out 3/4 swing that was again, right in the sweet spot. I tried it after watching a lot of the pros hitting it that way this last weekend. A little draw every time, and fairly easy to predict.

putting was decent, but I could have really gone low if I could have dropped a few that were so close. So, needless to say, I enjoyed the day, but the trick will be to see if I can keep that same swing going tomorrow with similar results.

Have you had a great day lately?

Best score ever has been shot 3 times .... 73.  Just can't seem to shoot par.  Most recent 73 was last summer, shooting 37/36 and that I would count as my best round ever.  It was a very smooth round, nothing fancy, just solid par golf.  I believe I had 3 bogeys and 2 birdies.

Edit:  I take that best round ever back.  I played Bandon Dunes (Pacific Dunes) about 14 years ago.  As always, it's windy there and it was somewhat cold (we had to cancel the next day when it started sleeting).  My caddy was a mini-tour player during the season and knew this particular course very well.  He told me where to hit it, clubbed me, and read my putts.  I shot a 78.  Sadly, my winnings didn't even begin to cover the caddie's tip.

Good deal.  It's fun when you come away excited to get back, isn't it?  My last round left me optimistic because I didn't do as much stupid stuff and basically stayed out of trouble.

My best ever round was a 36-34-70 for a -2. Oddly enough, that didn't feel like the best round ever. I just played consistently, got up and down, and didn't do stupid $hit. I think that really speaks to how we need to play. If I can shoot 2 under, with what doesn't feel like my best stuff, I just need to focus on playing smart, and picking my spots.

My best round is 75 on a 6500 yard par 72. I literally hit a years worth of putts in that one round. Ironically I 3 jacked 18 after being on the fringe in 2 of the par 5. It was more like a 4 putt. Coulda woulda shoulda.

A 74 on a 7000 yard par 70 with punched and sanded greens. Only 1 birdie because you couldn't putt.

I shot a 71, -1 once but the course was burnt out as all hell and I was driving short par 4s and hitting 8i or less into the par 5s.

I've shot 73 (+1)at my course twice; most recently was 2 years ago.

While on a business trip to Phoenix, I played the Palmer course at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Wildfire GC with 3 buddies.  Shot 69; only time under par on a regulation course.

Before joining my current muni, I played a 9-hole par 35 executive course in town for 18 years; 2 par 3's, 6 par 4's, and 1 par 5.  I was playing with the pro and two other single digit players; shot 31 which was the course record that stood for 7 years until a high school senior headed to the University of Oregon shot 27.  Dang kid!!

74 on my home course. 75 on a course I had never seen or played. I'll claim both...lol

65 9 birdies 2 bogeys, not my best ball striking round but my best score. 

Best ball striking round I shot 66. 9 birdies 1 bogey and a 6X. Never missed a shot except for the 6th tee where I hit two balls off the same roof of a house.

74 is my lowest. I’ve shot 76 a few times since, but never lower.
