New Poll - Best Scores

[spidey]

Let's break it down further.

[Sakuraba]

My 79 looks less impressive now.

[Andru]

How am I supposed to vote!! I don't see an option for 140?

[Hank Hill]

Boooooo. I feel left out with my gargantuant 97!!

[spidey]

Sorry fellas. The purpose of the poll is to break down the two biggest categories from the last poll.

Besides. There's no time limit on this poll. Look at it as a goal. Soon, you'll be here too.

[Kilroy]

Yup, my personal best of 79 went from good to bad.
First goal... do it somehow other than at Cloverdale on a calm day!
That round included four putting from 10 feet after I had hit the green in reg on the 9th hole. I had 2 putts to par the front. Doh!

The next week things were back to normal and the "zone" was nowhere to be seen

[NoBack]

I remember that day very well. Was a tough hole in that putting department. Amazing how the brain cramps up when thinking about scores.

[BullDog]

Sorry fellas. The purpose of the poll is to break down the two biggest categories from the last poll.

Yup - but the second of those categories is 75-84. Your poll doesn't go that far. My 83 doesn't fit as it's just a smidge above 82. Oh well.

[jvincent]

No fair, my best is now in the middle of the range.

[NoBack]

Glad that 71 at Manderley is still good.

64 at Bearbrook four years ago. Never felt like that on a golf course since. Ground was rock hard and I drove the green #1 ,4, 11, 12, 14 and 17.( all par 4's) Made 3 eagles.
It was better then ...

Great score. You obviously hit the ball well, BUT, you obviously putted even better.

63 at Carleton Golf & Yacht Club about 1987 using irons only.

64 at Greensmere GC in 2003.

Still trying to shoot my age but have not done it, YET. Will be 60 in September.

Best was a whole bunch of 81s at various courses. For some reason I just can't find two extra strokes to break 80... Might be because I suck.

Shooting a bunch of 81's would indicate that you do not suck. There are plenty of people who would be ecstatic to shoot 81.

If you enjoy the "zen" part of golf try reading Golf for Enlightenment, by Deepak Chopra.
It may rid you of any mental paradigm preventing you from shooting under 80.

[SIMMER]

I can join you guys in the ranks now as I broke 80 for the first time in my life with a 79 at Gatineau Thursday. Woohoo

[rezadue]

Just to make you guys feel even better about your scores, my best is a 95 at Pakenham (Lake-River). But I am proud of it nonetheless since I have only played about 15 rounds of golf all my life.

I can't believe I did not discover until recently how awesome golf is!!!!

[fmanning]

61 @ Port Hope G&CC

I could do no wrong that day....with the exception of the bogey on the par 3 12th

Incredible! What is par on that course? Mine still a 71 at Des Hautes Plaines.

[East Coast Golf]

maybe the next poll should be score in relation to par instead of just a number.

You will for sure as you get older

[Law]

Best round was a 85 last year at Pineview from the tips. Only played once this year so far. Went out to mountain Creek this past weekend (very windy) with new clubs and a new driver and managed a decent 96. Did I mention it was windy? Unfortunately I suck so much, that I am unable answer the poll

[Dunny]

74 at Pineview in 2001

A whole bunch of 75-79's at the meadows (worked there for a summer in 2002)

[guyfrompei]

68 on Predator at Greyhawk. I bogeyed number 1 (easy hole ) and then managed five birdies and all pars for the rest of the round.

Well, it's supposed to be a score on a championship golf course, but there's no way to prevent people from putting in any score they want. If they think it includes par 3 courses (which was not intended), there's no way to stop them.

I think people are honest. Most people are talking about par 71 or par 72 courses, so the graph is valid.

[Thom Panikorn]

68 at Le Vieux Moulins from the back tees two years ago. Two bogeys, four birdies and an eagle, the rest pars. Still trying to beat that since. I have seen it done last year, a guy in my group shot 67 also from the back.

What are the chances of me playing 79 at cloverdale links a few years ago.It must be a majical place for Dan Killbank and i, or was it our destiny?

[davevandyk]

My best round so far is a 69 in my Club Championship last year at Fort William Country Club in Thunder Bay. It was the first round and i made 7 birdies, 2 bogies and a double. The funny part was that I doubled the first hole of the day, which is a par 5 that can be got to in two if you place your tee shot in the right place. I was just hitting my irons amazing that day, out of the 7 birdies, the longest putt was from 12 feet! I hit 14 greens with only 27 putts. Was a nice round to shoot, but not so nice was the second day of the tourney where is "choked" under the pressure of overnight leader and shot 76 to tie for 3rd! Ah well, will break that number this year.

I forgot to post that.

Par is 66, so I was 5 under par. I even had a bogey on a par 3

The course is situated on a very small plot of land, so there's only a couple Par 5's, and a few extra par 3's. It's not a championship course by any means, but it's definitely not easy. There are some tricky little holes. Most of the time I usually played it around 5 over par. It's located right on Lake Ontario, so it gets crazy windy there most of the time.

The big shot for me was draining a 30 foot snaker for eagle on a par 4 (driveable in 1).

[Ginker]

Best Scores:
3- 67s at Morrisburg (par 70)
69 the first and only time I have played Cloverdale
72 from the blues (tips) at Upper Canada and I bogey 18 doh!
73 at Outious (I am too lazy to figure out the proper spelling)

[Big Johnny69]

Outaouais, if I'm not mistaken Mr. Lazy.
