20 Golf Milestones

[Bigfoot]

13 with a long way to go to achieve many others.

Hang on - 9 holes rounds count now, so I have had a sub 70 round !!

 

[Tongo]

Think I'm at 8:

Broken 100
Broken 80
Eagle
No double bogies
Birdie
Drive a par 4
No lost balls
Back to back birdies

 

[Slime]

I'm hoping to get to 10 before I die.

There should be a forum version of these milestones.

1) Have you ever hit a drive longer than 350 yards
2) Have you hit a 7 iron 200 yards into the wind
3) Did you buy everyone a drink when you got your ace
4) Ever completed 18 holes in less than 3 hours
5) Played 18 holes in shorts with black socks

etc etc etc

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

It doesn't say greens "in reg" so as long as you've completed all 18 holes and not picked up you're good for that one too, so that's 9 now. (Here to help)

Good point, so possibly 16 for me

 

[nickjdavis]

Definitely 17, possibly 19.....just cant remember for sure if I've had a bogey free round (likelihood is yes) and hit all 18 greens (probably not)

Definitely never had an Albatross.

4

I am over 60 so I will leave you to guess which one I have not done.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The more achievable 14...if I can count my hole in one on my tod out for a few holes one evening. I might have hit all GIR and might have had a bogey free round, but I don’t think so on either so not counted.

 

[Italian outcast]

11. - 9 remaining

• Never shot under par
• No HIO
• No Albatross
• Never single figures
• Never a club champ
• Never broke 70
• Never under par for 9 holes
• Never a bogey free round
• Never hit 18 greens

Disappointed they never had 3 birdies in a row - Nor ..start a round with 3 birdies (Carrick Knowe circa 1994) - Thats worth an albatross surely

 

[bobmac]

17
No hole in one
No 18 greens
No albatross

 

[Orikoru]

I count 8 for me.

It annoyed me that the list wasn't in any kind of order.

No, No, N/A, Yes (all the time), Yes (if trainer socks count)

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

I didn't actually expect people say how many of my suggestions they had managed ?

 

[backwoodsman]

11. I could improve and get one or two more but that's about it.

 

[HampshireHog]

13 for me, realistically only getting the HIO is achievable of the remaining ones. Good to have a target.

 

[Papas1982]

13 for me.
more than I expected.

 

[ger147]

13 for me and doubt that total will get much bigger, probably only 1 more is realistically achievable for me.
