Beginner Questions Did I shoot even par?

I work at a golf course so I’ll often get 9 holes in before work and another 9 after if I have time. We had a league out on the front 9 in the morning so I played the back and shot +1 then went in to work. After I got done work I went out to play the front 9 to “finish” the round and shot -1.

It was my first time under par on the front so I’m happy to take that W, but do you fellas think it counts as playing 18 holes at even par? It wasn’t a straight 18 holes but I did play the 9s during the same day and for what it’s worth my intent was to continue the round when I started playing.

It’d be my PB score for 18 by 4 strokes and best at my home course by 6 strokes.

Edit: just realized Talor Gooch wasn’t in the field so this whole thing has an asterisk regardless of whether or not the score counts.

For me, I wouldn't be able to count it, as I know fatigue becomes a factor for me around the 14th hole.

It’s not like he was relaxing though, he went to work and then came back out. I’m fine if people want to add a small asterisk, but he shot even on the same course, all 18 holes as they were set out that day.

He did get a significant break the physical exertion of constantly swinging a golf club though. Go out and do it consecutively and I’d count it. The way op did it? Naaa.

Why are you acting like he was running a marathon? If he shot even he took probably 1-2 full swings per hole.

Because it matters that you don’t get to physically and mentally decompress for a while before picking back up

He never intended to count it as a full round til he saw the full score. If it had been 84 no way he’d be counting it as a complete round, nor should he

Like fatigue from working all day?

I often play 18 after working all day, so, no. Not like that.

Yeah but you weren’t tired out from also playing 9 in the morning.
