Kip's bayeagle's plight and the responses made me wonder, how many golfers do we have and what do you usually shoot/what is your handicap? I am a high 70's golfer. For 18 holes, you chuckleheads. The best I have ever shot on a 'championship' course is a 68, though I have a 65 at the local 6100 yard goat track. One ace. That I didn't actually see go in the hole.

I'm usually around 80. My low round has been an even-par 70 at Hilldale in Hoffman Estates, IL....but my best round was probably an 85 from the tips at Butler National.

If I can break 90, it's a good day. There was a time not too long ago when I did so with regularity. Personal best is an 82. I'm what you'd call a "sh!tty golfer."

Mid 90's now but a couple years ago I was consistantly in the low to mid 80's. Best round was a 73 in 2007 at The Orchards in Door County.

100-105. looking to make an improvement this year. been saying that for 20 years.

I rarely keep score.

I play winter rules year round.

My favorite club is the foot wedge...has gotten me out of alot of tough lies.

Low 60s.

You are talking about mini-golf, right?

Ari Gold · « **Reply #8 on:** February 08, 2010, 07:18:32 PM »

last year I started in the mid 80s but I lost my drive and my score started to creep up into the mid-upper 90s. if I could hit my driver I'd be so much better.

75-85. Best round based on course is 73(IMHO) at the Hermitage in Nashville.

My handicap has increased as follows
+1 for each year of marriage
+2 for each year as a dad.

You and me, both, man.

if you didn't count his uses of the foot-wedge, lost balls, water shots and mulligans Marquette09 still would barely break 100

spiral97 · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2010, 08:38:30 PM »

I shot 90 my first and only time on a course... on the front 9... with a 10 stroke limit per hole.. and missed swings didn't count.. and the ability to pick up the ball and throw it when I got tired of swinging.. LOL

ChicosBailBonds · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2010, 09:05:31 PM »

Before I was married, 80's and low 90's. Best round ever was the day before I got married.

Since I got married, I'm happy to break 100. I just don't get to play that often anymore and courses are so expensive in So. Cal, I'm not going to drop $130 every time out. I miss the days of playing in Milwaukee for next to nothing.

No Aces. Did have one rest about 4 inches from the cup.

I hang around between 85 - 90. The longer the course, usually the better. My short game is hideously inconsistent though, and I usually end up burning 5 strokes a round trying things I'm not good enough to try (hence my reference to learning to spin, etc on club suggestions).

"How'd ya shoot today, Ty?"
"Oh, I don't keep score, Judge."
"Well, then how do you measure yourself against other golfers?"
"By height."

awesome.

We have a lot of total bullsh*tters on this board.

4 under ... I usually lose about 4 more golf balls than I find ... never broken 100. I need to stick to basketball, softball, tennis and running. Thankfully (I think), I have never caught the bug. 4 hours!

That is part of the fun of golf. However, coming from you.....?!?!
I am jonesing bad to get out and play. What helped my golf last year is that my then-2-now-3-year-old decided he wanted to golf with daddy. I took him out a bunch of times for 9 holes in a cart. (BTW, I hate carts. They ruin and slow the game. Unless you have one of those courses where the next tee is 1/2 mile away. And outings) Momma couldn't even complain because I was spending quality time with the boy. Plus, having him along made be quit obsessing, and just set up and hit.

I hover around 90, usually a bogey per hole. I have calmed my drive down a bit now and when hitting my driver I have shot an 80 at a mid-level course. I really don't consider it a hole in one that I got since it was a pitch and putt in Ireland about 90 yard hole and it was pouring rain, and I didn't see it go in.

You and me both. I have always thought I could probably shoot par or under par on a par 90 course....18 par 5's....a lot of $'s for maintenance and upkeep probably....that would be the ideal course setup for my game.
