deauxrite Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I had an ace a few years ago..it was very exciting. I have shot 70 as my lowest score. I have done it twice..71-72 several times. I want to shoot 69 so bad that I can taste it. At my age, I have to hope that it is coming in the next year or two. My game is still pretty good, but time is not on my side. So..I have decided that this winter I am going to get professional help with my putting since I think that saving a couple of strokes on a good round will make the difference. fixyurdivot, cnosil, sirchunksalot and 1 other 4 Quote M2 Driver Fujikura Regular Flex Mizuno 921 Tour Irons-- Titleist Wedges A new Sik Armlock putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scratchnurse Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'd want the hole-in-one. Closest I've come to shooting in the 60's is a 70(which was par) which is good enough for me. But I've had three instances where I've almost had the hole-in-one. One that dunked and bounced out, one that had it been two inches to the right when it landed it would have gone in and one where I had been to inches to the left it would have gone in. cksurfdude and fixyurdivot 2 Quote Driver - TSi2 10* - Mitsubishi Tensei Blue Fairway - TSi3 15* Mitsubishi Tensei White Irons - Speed zone 4/5/6/7/8/9/P with KBS v tour steel stiff shafts Wedges - 48/54/58 - Tour V wedge shafts Putter - 2021 Phantom X 5 - 34" w/ superstroke flatso 1.0 Ball - Prov 1 optic yellow Bag - Players 4 plus stand bag - lagoon/black/charcoal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfinnut Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 In my not-so-illustrious career as a golfer of over 40+ years, I have 6 hole-in-ones. Yes, 6. My last one was in 2008 on a course that is now closed. I have been close more times than I can count but nothing since then. My lowest round was a 66. Grant it, it was on a par 70 golf course back in high school during a regional tournament. But still. 2 birdies on both sides & consistency all around that day. Why is it that I can remember a round that was almost 12 years ago but I can't remember what I had for dinner last night? My how the mind works .... But to answer the OP's question, I would much rather have a round in the 60's. A hole in one could be a lot of luck, lucky bounces, ricochets, etc. While a round in the 60's really shows that you were on your game that day. Everything seemed to be clicking. Now get consecutive rounds in the 60's .... THAT's an accomplishment! When they say "these guys are good" on TV..... they are. 4 rounds in the 60's like it's nothing?? The 2nd round of the two day tournament that I shot a 66 .... well let's just say it wasn't as easy the next day. The competition & nerves got to me because I was leading & I ended up blowing up that day to a 78 ... 144 for a 2-day total & lost by 2 shots. I was much better back in the days of high school & college. Where does the game go?? sirchunksalot and fixyurdivot 2 Quote WITB: Do I like Titleist or what?

Rickp Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 One of our new members has a low round of 64 in his personal best - that's crazy. It got me to thinking about whether I'd want a 60's score or my first ace. I'd love both but the odds of that are like next to none. I just flirted with being -2 for the front nine this past Monday and that required some amazing (for me) sequence of stellar shots. Shooting in the lower 60's sounds just unobtanium.... lower odds than getting an ace. How many on the forum have both a hole-in-one and a round in the 60's? If like me you have neither on your mantle, which one would you prefer?Interesting question. I have 1 ace, low score 78. For me shooting my age would be my my favorite golf accomplishment. Since I’m 73 I’m gaining on it.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy tony@CIC, sirchunksalot and cnosil 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy So are you suggesting (outright stating) that MGS members are the creme-de-la-creme among all other golf forum members? By mere estimate of listed handicaps among our members, it appears we're fairly representative of the golfing community at large... but maybe not? This brings up the question; what is our MGS combined handicap? On 12/2/2019 at 10:53 AM, golfinnut said: In my not-so-illustrious career as a golfer of over 40+ years, I have 6 hole-in-ones. Yes, 6.

Kind of like that full court heave in bball that goes in to win the game and you had 2 points prior to that. Cool and memorable but that's about it... (I'd rather be the guy who had the triple-double) FWIW - I have a buddy who is a member at a fancy-shmancy course in town and he is a legit 31 handicap.

DaveP043 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I've had 3 aces, and had one round in the 60's. I've been as low as even-par 72 this year, so I suppose having another in the 60s is still a possibility, and I'd say that's the feat I'd cherish the most. Next would be to shoot my age, and I'm still a few years away from that being a possibility. Another ace would be amazing, but its not on the top of my golfing dream accomplishment list.
