Best 9 hole score was 39 once at North River Yacht Club in Tuscaloosa and once at SanDestin - best 18 was 80 (two 40s) at the old LSU golf course.

Par golf won't get you on a college team, not a good one much less a tour of any kind.

66 multiple locations.

Had a chance for 63/64 on one of those and doubled the last hole

Too much travel. I've got a wife and kids that I want to see. It's sort of why I retired while still in my prime.

It'll get you a PGM scholarship that you turn down for some reason.

Ha, some of the scores caught my eye, too, but to be honest, good players can shoot around or a bit below par on average courses or easy courses when they play really, really well.

And many of those guys aren't good enough to play D-1, much less for a top notch program.

The gap is just so huge from good high school player to good college player and then a Grand Canyon from there to even a struggling professional.

I shot three sub-70 tournament rounds (one 66 and two 68's) when I was in high school on courses that weren't very difficult and was about a +1 or +2 for about a year and a half. During that same period, I'd go play major championship courses and would have to play out of my mind to break 85 from the regular men's tees. The gap is just gargantuan. I played Chambers Bay four years ago (was probably a 6 - 8 handicap at that point), played well...and shot a 97.

I managed to shoot a 96 at Torrey Pines, and I felt damn good about it.

I was going to say the best I've probably ever played in my life was a 78 at Valhalla from the regular tees, but it's a dozen strokes off my best actual tournament score (at some podunk municipal).

I shot something in the low 80's at the Ocean Course around the same time and had a 77 at Tiburon around the same time as well. I probably wouldn't break 95 on any of those places now.

Shot at 74 at Edgewood Country Club (West Virginia) a couple of years back. Was playing just shy of 7000 yards that day, but was dry and a couple of holes with hills that gave generous rolls. Could have shot even par (72) had I not tried to cut the corner on 18 and go out of bounds.
The next time I played there I ended up shooting an 89, but it was considerably colder and damp, with greens that were slow as molasses.

While I know this was facetious, it fells like this is what you shoot when playing with you.

66 on Monroe's Muni course. I've had "better rounds" on better courses but that is my lowest score to par.
