Golfing Milestones

[backwoodsman]

Have done 19 of them so missing 11 of them.

Seems a fairly bizarre list of 'milestones' though. Some of them are surely a simple matter of choice?

 

[Voyager EMH]

26/30 and I am happy with that.

No albatross
No attending a major
Never done 18 greens in regulation (in one round)
Never been down to scratch

All the others I've done more than once except "get a custom fit" and "bogey free round" which I've done once only each.

 

[HeftyHacker]

19 for me. Most of the ones I haven't are the under par or ones expected of a low handicapper etc.

 

[Steve Wilkes]

26 for me, not done the following

10 Never had an Albatross (130 eagles but no Big Bird)
13 Never been to a Major, Been to PGA at Wentworth on numerous times and 11 European Tour events in 4 other countries
22 All 18 G/Reg , Best is 16 at The Woldingham in 2017
28 Never got to Scratch, Best was 2.9

 

[Kennysarmy]

Still to do:

4. Shoot under par for 18
10. Albatross
17. Win Club Champs (Unless you count best nett in Cat 1)
18. Break 70
20. Bogey free round
22. Doubt I've done this - 18 Greens in Reg
28. Scratch!

Our course is Par 69, so I feel there is always a chance to tick off no. 4 and 18

 

[Whereditgo]

22, most of the ones that would be associated with being a very low handicapper are missing.

 

[jim8flog]

26 for me

Not achieved

10 Albatross
13 Attend a major (not bothered about that one)
22 18 greens in reg
28 Scratch Handicap

 

[rosecott]

22 for me.
Some additional forum options:
31. Played a round of golf with Bratty when he didn't swear.
32. Played a round of golf with PN Wokingham where he wore muted colours.
33. Never used a pink castle tee.
34. Hit a 9 iron 200 yards.
35. Never had an infraction against you from a mod.
36. Been on a "perk day" with GM and an OEM.
37. 3 off the tee free round.
38. Ranted about how club fitting is a myth.

39. Shooting a gross score equal to or better than your age.

I'm only saying that as it gets easier the older you get and all the other milestones become out of reach.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Missing 4, 13, 17, 18, 22, 28, 29 and maybe 20.

Going to a Major and playing in a Pro-Am I’ll do if I can be bothered. Round under Par; Round under 70; 18 GIRs; Win Club Champs and scratch. First three quite possible, last two unlikely.

If a Royal Troon Open practice day or a Ryder Cup practice day count towards attending a Major then I can strike 13 from my To-Do list.

I've done it for nine holes.

 

[sjw]

So how many have you achieved

I've definitely done:
7 - Par
8 - Birdie
12 - custom fit
15 - 300 yard drive
21 - break 100
27 - Join a club

I THINK I've done:
30 - on a par 5 in two

I'm fairly sure I've done:
24 - no lost balls (although I'd very much like to do this more often!)

And I don't think I have, but might have, done:
14 - holed bunker shot

 

[PhilTheFragger]

I can tick off 17 of those

And I'm crap at golf

Go Figure

 

[Bratty]

Go Figure

Well, you ain't ticking off 31 at Westerham!!

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Well, you ain't ticking off 31 at Westerham!!

I’ve played with both Cam & Jakob
And survived, do your worst

 

[babylonsinger]

9 definitely for me. A couple of others likely ticked off once I return to the world of employment

 

[Asian Dawn]

29 of 30. Never reached a scratch handicap.

 

[Orikoru]

15 for me.

Every time this list is reposted it really annoys me that it's still not in order. Why ask if I've broken 80 and 70 and then ask I've broken 100 and then 90?? Stupid. Just put it in the right order for god's sake.

 

[Rlburnside]

12 for me

 

[Deleted member 15344]

28 for me - haven’t won club champs or got to scratch

 

[DPapas1982]

19 I'd hope for 23/24.
