In honor of the US Open, Best round of golf you have ever shot

[AUTailgatingRules]

Last year shot the best round of my life:

66 with 8 birdies and 2 bogies.

I also played with a friend last year that toils around on some mini tours and watched him shoot a 59.  Probably the funnest time I have ever had on the course was watching him that day.

When I played every day and was in my early 20s, I shot a 67.   Was on a nine-hole course.  Eagled #3 and eagled it again when it was #12.   Can't remember the rest, really.  Birdied 6 and 8 I know.  Offset that with a bogey or two. 

Funny thing is I went early in the morning.  My grandmother was the only other person up when I left and she wanted to go with me for the fresh air.  She rode in the cart to witness it.  Unfortunately she knows nothing about golf.

Her take and what she told anybody who would listen and many who wouldn't?  "He just kept hitting the ball over and over and over.  Don't know how many times he hit it, but it was a lot."

As we discussed, I'm just picking the game back up.  Got the irons and have hit 3 times at the range so I'm starting from scratch.  Otherwise, my best round years ago was around 85-86.  Can't recall.  I just know I had finally gotten where I could consistently shoot low 90's and mid to high 80's.  Nope, that's nothing great but it made the game fun when you actually were hitting more decent shots than flubs. 

Plus, just the little bit of hitting on the range I've done the past couple of weeks has made me perk up a little more when they're showing the US Open.  By the way, I was watching it at lunch and on one hole, both Phil and McIlroy put their shots in the water right next to each other.  Phil reached in with his club, pulled the ball out balancing it on his club face, popped the ball up and tapped it back to himself.  Me and my buddy just went, Oh no he di'in't

78 at Silver Lakes.  But I'm normally around 82-88.  For a long, long time, my driver sucked ass, mid range was good and short/putting saved me.   Now, I'm decent off the box (hit every fairway but 2 this morning) but my short game isn't worth a fuck.  Had an 8 foot birdie putt today and walked away with a bogie.

I don't think I'll ever figure it out.

82 at the State Park in Guntersville.   I never could putt and my short game was horrific.  "Drive for show, putt for dough" described my game perfectly when I played.

96 at Auburn Links a couple years ago. I don't golf often.

I sold my clubs about 3 years ago.  We bought a boat about 9 years ago and that was literally the last weekend I played golf.  I would just rather be out fishing.

I think my best round ever was around a 90.  That also helped with the decision to ditch the clubs in favor of a couple of a new fishing rod.

Played my first "round" of golf Saturday afternoon.  Played the RTJ Par 3 course here.  Needed something I could play quick in the heat.  Hit the green on the very first hole.  Didn't hit another until the very last hole.  I sux.  But it was the first round in almost 12 years and I loved every minute of it. 

I had been messing around with several putters before grabbing an Odyssey Saturday.  The chipping and putting was the one thing I did well.  What I find funny is that you play a little bit of a certain sport and it makes watching it on TV 150% more interesting.  I'll watch golf and keep up with it but no biggee.  Play a round of golf and I'm glued to the US Open.

Oh, Judge, I don't keep score.

Oh, Judge, I don't keep score.

Well how do you measure yourself?

[Tiger Six]

Well how do you measure yourself?

By height...

My grandmother is DEAD, dammit. 

Besmirching is frowned upon. 

I used to shoot in the 80s regularly back then.  A car wreck, a mangled right arm, too much weight, a 12-year layoff from the game and the natural degeneration of age later.... 

I suck. Or don't.  Never can tell.

Just giving you hell on the 67.

I wonder what Gene shoots? We can ask him.
