Could be a tournament, with friends or whatever.

What was it like?

Where you looking ahead thinking “holy shite”?

I’m assuming if you get it to the 60s you aren’t getting nervous because you are already beyond elite.

Did you have full command of almost everything?

Describe the feeling.

Felt like if could of been lower? (Everyone probably feels this way no matter what your shoot)

Might be nobody here

I've done it several times. My lowest round ever was back in May this year...67 with 7 birdies and 2 bogeys. Then 2 days later I had 9 birdies, but had to settle for 70 because I made an 8 on a par 4 on the back.

My best round ever was a 68 at the bluffs several years ago. I remember just making everything I looked at that day and standing over the ball knowing I was going to hit the green, it was just a matter of how close I could hit it. That day was when I understood what "being in the zone" meant.

I had my first shot at the 60s a couple of months ago (Kingwood island course)

Was 2 under going into 18 - hit the fairway and went for the green.... smashed the tree on the island green and dropped one and two putted for a 71.

Was an awesome round none the less

I've shot under 65 multiple times.

It was a Par 54 par 3 course.

But still, multiple times.

I've shot 67 twice and 68/69 probably a dozen times. The putting in all of those rounds was the difference.

I shot 69 at Money Hill in a company event with a bunch of agents. I was invited late and I came in and won their 2 day event. They were all pretty pissed and I didn't get invited back the following year.

The worst part of my game is putting so any time I have 28/29 putts I'm breaking par with a chance in the 60's

Career low is 62.

I didn't look ahead; I tried to stay focused on the next shot, putt, etc. I was pretty calm after shooting 29 on the front side; I felt like I was going to hit every approach shot close and the hole looked like a basketball hoop.

I hit all 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens; it was as pure a ball striking round as I've ever had. Honestly don't feel I left any shots out there; maybe the lone bogey I made could have been a par.

Multiple times in college tournaments. Lowest ever tournament round was 65 at Bart Granger high school event outside Dallas.

I've had two rounds in the 50s; one at Breckenridge in SATX pre-renovation & one from the front tees playing with a LPGA player at Briggs Ranch.

I shot 72 with 14/14 FIR and 18/18 GIR in a college round, casual 36 putts.

Nothing different tee to green but the size of the cup was a basketball hoop. As a few could attest, if anyone gets the putter rolling its pretty easy to throw down a low number.

69 from the tips at Links on the Bayou first time I played it. Had only been playing a few years and previous low score was a 76. Didn’t realize I had a chance to break 70 until the tee shot at 18. If any of you have played that course from the tips you know how tough of a shot that can be...210ish all over water, usually with a wind of some sort. Hit it to 30 feet and two putted for a bogey free 69.

69 from the tips at Tamahka Trails twice.
69 from the one ups at Kelly Plantation.

Quit playing golf for almost 10 years and have only broken 80 a handful of times since picking up the clubs again about 5 years ago.

Every time I tee it up I get nervous. Tiger once said if you don’t get nervous quit playing.

Shot 60. 63. Tons of 65s. Only three times in tournaments.

The 60 was Howell Park. Was -10 on last hole. Easy par 3 with a wedge in hand. Hit it to 8 ft and left it about a foot short. Was a tad nervous.

I've never broken par before but this Saturday I was -4 through 14 holes at Santa Maria and ended up finishing double, bogey, bogey, par to shoot even par 72 I was sooooo close

Shot 67 (-3) at Pelican Point Lakes (2 par 35 9s) in late May. Definitely a career round for me. 7 birdies and 4 bogeys. One of the birdies was a chip in, and 2 were short ones. The other 4 were medium to long putts.

Had a putt for 69 on Mardi Gras Day at #18 at Santa Maria back in February. Didn't make it, but was damn happy with my lowest round of 70 at that point.

Been playing golf for 25 years, and my 2 lowest rounds have come within the last 5 months.

Several times. I don’t want the struggle of travel and being on the tour. I typically shoot low 70s or upper 60s on my home course. Shot a 65 the other day which was my best round in a long time as I don’t play much anymore.

Broke 60 several times. If I’m on my game, there isn’t a soul on earth that can beat me. I’ve got a good job at the plant tho so....you know...welcome to a TD hero.

Geeeez. You guys are either really good or really good liars!
74 is my career low so far. Have carded it 4 times. My goal is to shoot par. One of the 74's was special. Should have been par or better, but I made stupid mistakes and blew it on the last two holes.
God I love this game.

I shot a 64 at Santa Maria. Playing the white tees bc I was playing with a customer. It was a wet rainy day and I was bombing the driver. Very little roll but that didn’t really matter and probably helped keep balls in the fairway. Played LCP due to wetness.

Eight birdies all on par 4s. Parred all par 3s and 5s. Made two putts over 30’.

Several times in tournaments (state level junior tours and AJGA) as a kid. I also shot a 70 with two double bogeys (the first hole and the last hole) in a tournament as well; that was probably the best competitive round I’ve ever played. Have had plenty of sub-70 rounds on various courses just screwing around over the years.

Haven’t been anywhere close to that in 12+ years at this point.

The only things I really remember from those rounds was that I drove the ball superbly well and my wedge game was fiercely on those days. To get that low, you have to give yourself lots of chances and just have some of them fall.
