Single round. No mulligans no BS, real golf with real rules.
Patrick Reed has shot 3 rounds of 63 at the PGA tourney at La Quinta. Course is a par 72 and no one else has broken 63 for a round in this event.
I will be following the final round.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
<< <i>Wow ... how EZ is that course playing. From 1st place to 69th place (that's 207 rounds) there has been only ONE round shot over par (and that was a 73). >>
Good point, as the cut was -9. Nonetheless a strong performance by a relative unknown.
I shot a front nine score (par 36) of 29, while stinking up on the greens and only making one putt of over 2 feet in length.
Pitched in twice for eagle,
One 18 foot birdie putt
and on two short par 4's (each about 290 yards), I had a tap-in birdie on both.
Result = 7 under.
This may sound all great but it gets worse (or better??)
On the back nine I went nine pars for a 36 for my total low score of 65.
BUT!!!!....I had at least 5 birdie putts on the back nine (and actually one on the front) from 6 feet to 12 feet which I missed them all!!
It could have been a very, very low score.
Needless to say that evening I went to Golftown and purchased a new putter.
I've never been so happy, yet disappointed with a round of golf in my life.
Truly a very mixed bag of emotions.

I'm not a good golfer, but that's okay. I don't golf to be good at it, I like to golf for the fresh air, the beautiful landscape, and the beer.
It is still the lowest round I ever shot.
Unfortunately,he got divorced in 2010!
At least the golf is a good memory.
To this day, I have not broke 95, although I only play about twice a year....because I suck.

maybe it was the 4th hole. or the 5th. maybe the 6th. don't really remember. my tee shot was something out of a dramatic dream sequence where the ball seemed to just carry through the beautiful blue sky forever, arcing gracefully towards the pin before striking it and coming to a rest about 3 feet short of the hole with a downhill, straight lie.....it was like being in a fairy tale.
after downing another 12 ounce can of confidence, i short-armed the putt and it still toppled in for birdie. the rest of that day doesn't even resonate in my memory, quite likely because all of us were roaring drunk before completing the front 9, and who knows if we even finished the round or drove the cart into a lake.
who cares?
Also, during college broke 80 a couple times but I am sure I had a mully or two so doesn't count obviously. Plus the course was easy.

That's golf for you, Jeff. You can suck for 17 holes, but it's the one you played like a champion that will lure you back to the course.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

for sure. long before my fateful attempt to land an invitation to Augusta, i double-bagged 18 holes, twice a day at the Riviera Country Club for several different people whom you've perfectly described.
a few of them were quite generous and appreciated that i just kept my damn opinions to myself.

That's a tight little fairway, JG...

<< <i>77 at the old local club when I used to play ALL the time. Never could get lower than that. I play too fast to be good, can't stand taking the patience to think too much over every shot and to spend all the time to "read" putts properly. I like to just get up there and swing. Haven't played in a few years. Wouldn't surprise me now that if I was to go play a "good" course, I doubt I would be under 100.

Never too fast to play great golf.
I play a par 72 with two other guys in 3 hours and we walk!
