Hi there , I’m. 5 hdcp golfer playing out of Carton house , home of the Irish open on 3 occasions..... captains day 2013....1st round par 3 3rd...200 yard par 3 .... took an unholy 45 shots ...41 in the bunker...strokes event.... I think I managed to redesign the hole that day...
Birdied the next and maintained an inner chia to shoot 2 over for the remaining 17 and 42 over on the 3rd hole... we had some fun in the clubhouse after .... I officially had a handicap cut which was also funny.... foot note ,I beat 400 golfers to win the captains day tournament the following year...... Ger Breen ....gotta luv golf...

Age 14 - First year playing golf off a 14 handicap at Bryanston in South Africa.
First medal round ever - Sunday AM round, playing with three adults.
12th Hole Par 4 - hook 3Wood into left woods, fat chip into stream, drop, 6 iron punch into fairway (great shot), 4 wood over green, fat chip short, chip on, 4 putt. 11 - grenade score just frees up your mind and I played 12 over the rest of the round.....now aged 45 - interesting how the memory remains....until my next grenade score surpasses this one I guess!

I was on my way to my first ever medal and A Grade to boot. 1 under after 8 playing off 10 I tripled the 9th for an outward 38. Onto the 10th, a short par 4 and I scratched a 5 - not great but by no means awful. The 11th was a par 5, OB on the left, scrub on the right. 1st went OB, 2nd way right short of the scrub, 4th into the scub, lost, 6th into the scrub, took a drop, 8th into the scrub, found, hacked out, 2 more before I was on the green, 3 putt for a majestic 15! Finished with 91, nett 81. Bye bye medal.

Carded an 11 at the par-3 11th in a Medal here at Erskine afew yearsago. All courtesy of a green-side bunker. Ended up playing out sideways.

I've only played in 3 tournaments in my 7 years in the game. I sunk a hard breaking 15 footer to card a 13.

We played on Pinehurst #2 with a group of 8 in a “tournament “. One guy got a 21 on a par 3. Those damn turtle greens where you keep chipping and it runs off the other side. He did learn to putt them even though your 4-6 feet below the putting surface.

My craziest round was my first round back from having a spinal fusion (L4/L5/S1).... Besides putting around a bit, I hadn’t so much as looked at a club in over 2 years... Now, keep in mind that I was a -0.2 when my sticks started collecting dust... So I went out with my father not expecting much... Didn’t even go to the range... took an 11 on the first hole (par 4), 10 on the following par 5... So after being 12 after 2 holes, I knew it was gonna be a fun day... I ended up carding a stellar 58 on the front... We went in at the turn, I scarfed down a quick hotdog, then grabbed a double vodka and limanade and a 6 pack of bud light... We then ventured to #10 tee, where my father’s buddies came from no where and wanted to join us... After learning of my 58, they felt a best ball was in order... So, to cut my story down, I am now halfway through the highest (but expected) round of the past 10+ years, and now I’m drinking (heavily) and gambling... Sounds like a recipe for disaster... So, I go on to shoot a 1 under 35 on the back... My dad’s friends cussing the whole time, calling me a sandbagger, saying no way I shot 58 on the front, blah blah blah... To this day, when my wife says “you don’t play better when you’re drinking”, I always go to my framed 93 and say: “really?”

It wasn't a competitive round b7t still remarkably. My friend and I went to a tournament but upon arrival found out we were a day late but played the course anyway. I shot a 63 on the par 36 front 9, went in for s clear at the break, and went out and shot par 36 on back 9. Strange day.

Played in a memorial day weekend tournament in the early 90's at the White eagle club outside Chicago. Brutal cold, 30+ mph winds on a difficult course. One of my playing companions carded a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the same round. In fairness, he deliberately missed a short tap in for a second 10 late in the round to fill in the 11, but other than that all the scores were legit.

My craziest 18 holes was in our Men's Club Tournament. Starting on hole 10, I played the back nine in 38. Well under my handicap. Unfortunately, from 18 green to 1 tee box I forgot how to play golf and shot a 59 on the front nine. Twenty-one stoke difference between my two nines. At least I broke 100.
