Well, amateur one at least.

There are 2 framed cards on our wall just outside the bar, sharing the amateur course record of 69 (-3).
Don't know for certain but I guess the professional course record would be lower.

Anyway, today I beat it :D
In a medal too, so it should count as a new amateur course record.

Started rubbish. Had to chip out from my first tee shot and made bogey. Scrambled a par on 2 getting up and down from a bunker. Made bogey on 3 including a fluffed chip.

2 over after 3. Not the end of the world, but not good when you have 5 shots to play with.

The last 15 holes I had 7 birdies and only 1 more bogey for a 4 under par gross 68 :eek:
Only 2 of the 7 birdies were from outside 4'.

CSS didn't move so a nice 0.9 cut to my lowest ever exact of 3.6

Happy chappy tonight :cheers:

Great shooting Gary, chuffed for you!!!!!

When I was much younger shot a course record at my club as a junior, it lasted all of a couple of days before someone went lower lol! Hope yours lasts longer

Great play Gaz.
Doesn't feel quite right getting less than a full shot cut for playing that well, if you know what I mean...
Any idea how long the old record stood..?

Congratulations. Well done to you.

Our course record was beaten last week, -7 for a 65. And Aparantly, it could have easily been/should have been -10.

Well played Gary. Not surprised after having seen the way you played at Forest Pines a few weeks ago.
:cheers:

Superb golf Gary.
