Lowest ever nett score?

It wasn't a qualifier competition but at our place one year in the Rotary, some non-member was given a handicap of 24 and shot 4 over gross for a sweet nett 51. The whole place was in uproar.
 
Mate of mine playing off 16 did a 56 nett, he just had a day out needless to say he was cut mercilessly to 8. And as he will admit himself he never managed to play to it.
 
Aged 13 in a monthly medal, I went round in 80 off 22 for a nett 58. Even though it was 30 years ago, I still remember how gutted I was to miss a two footer on the last to break 80 for the first time.
 
One of my first competitions as a junior was a gross 90 off 33 for a net 57 (Kirkcaldy Golf Club), got cut to 20, a few months later had a gross 74 less 18 for a nett 56 (Cupar GC boys open)
 
Not sure of the lowest ever but you do see something in the fifties from time to time, mainly in the men's comps.

I had a 61 net playing off 6 last year, which is my best. Didn't win the comp though (as I like to moan about whenever this topic comes up!) :D
 
Heard of a few 59's, followed by the axeman cometh.

My best is 62 off 4 on a wet and windy day in an (away) Open. Had lots of loud mutterings as I went up to collect 1st prize, which turned to louder cries of well done when the Club Captain announced my handicap. Its bizarre that someone can get lots of well done's for a 62 off 4 but are called bandits if they do it off 24.

In the best traditions of the serious golfer FD!

Ha ha! Now that's a sore one! At least you're embarrassed about it! ;)

I'm not sure who it affected more. I'm not sure he has won since then back home in ireland. I check their results pretty regularly. He needs to put in serious rounds off scratch these days to win.

It took me 5 years to win again. :rofl:
 
When off 7 I went round in 71, for a net 64.
As a kid I'm pretty sure I had quite a few other rounds of a similar net score but can't remember them now.
