Course record

[Neilds]

Following on from my earlier post about our course record being broken at the weekend, what are the details about your course record. What is it, how long has it stood, is it held by anyone famous, etc?

Ours is 65 (7 under) and has stood for 2 days. Held by a current club member who recently became club champion, +2 handicap.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Ours is a 7 under 65 - same lad had set the previous record then broke it himself.

9 birdies, 2 bogies.

 

[Orikoru]

No idea. They reset them when they changed a par 4 to a par 3 a couple of years ago. And they were recorded on IG, but that reset when our course ratings changed last year. So it currently says the course record off yellows is about 79.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

In comps it’s 64 - 7 under on the whites for amateur

Professional it’s 62

Yellows it’s 70

Reds 72 and professional 67

 

[Teebs]

62 -10 (professional)

63-9 (Amateur)

I was ahead of course record pace in the club championship (-6 through 10 holes) but then melted under the pressure!

Good question, I think ours is 62, nine under, by a guy whose been club champion 2 or maybe 3 times.
In the round he hit his tee shot oob, over the wall, at the Par3 16th, almost holed his reload and tapped in for a 4
KenL can correct me if this has been beaten.

 

[SatchFan]

Ours is 63 - 6 under off the whites. Seven birdies and one bogey, broken only a fortnight ago.

I've no idea if there's an AM course record, I suppose there must be, i'll need to ask

Pro record is 62 on par 72 by Sami Valimaki 3 years ago on day 1 of DPWT event (weirdly he didn't break par on next 3 rounds)

I thought 63, by the person you quoted.

I think this score was repeated in the 2013 final qualifying for the Open.

Could be Ken the old memory's fading a bit, I was in the game behind him

Our amateur record is a 3 under par 67.

Set by one of the club members playing off about 5 h'cap maybe in 2008. Was equaled a couple of months ago by another low handicapper (who won our Club Championships yesterday).

I do know of a pro who claimed to have shot a 63 round the course, in a pro-am, when it first opened in the 1990's but there is no official record of this.

Was it not the case that the Aussie Pro's score became the course record as the course had to be lengthened to host the Open Qual, hence the new tees at 2,6,11 & 17
I thought DM shot 62 on the pre lengthened course but I could be wrong

 

[Backache]

Ours is 60 which is 9 under , we're a fairly short course. The man who shot it has a pretty impressive amateur record and holds several other course records.

 

[Robster59]

Our course par is 70 and the course record of 63 was set by David Orr in 1996. David went on to become Scottish Professional Champion in 2009.

I think the cards are on the lounge walls. Have a look before it is bulldozed.

Good idea, no denying though that 63 is the mark now !

 

[Yorkhacker]

62 (-10) set by some bloke called Ian Woosnam. Birdied 8 holes in a row from 4th to 11th. Amateur record is 65 (-7) by James Mason. Ladies record is 66 (-8) by Rachel Gourlay

 

[Captainron]

Woodhal Spa Hotchkin is 60 by our pro Adam Keogh and includes an ace on the 12th. Absolutely amazing score on there.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Proud holder of two course records in the 1970/80's
The 67 lasted for about 3 months and the 70 [over a remodeled and lengthened course] about 3 weeks

 

[Springveldt]

Current club I have no idea. I was looking at the weekend to see if I could see cards anywhere on the wall but couldn't.

At my old club the amateur record is by the lad I play with every week, he shot a 63 (-7) a few years ago. Last Saturday he was -4 after 7 and his birdie putt on 8 lipped out. As it was on it's way I thought it was in and said "Course record is in trouble here" but he never holed a single putt after that. Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.
