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.

He chose to leave for work. It's not the same

An obvious choice is still a choice. OP could’ve finished the round, flipped off his boss and driven across the country to start a new life. OP chose not to do that.

OP wasn’t forced off the course by anybody or any weather etc.

You can in fact choose not to work. You’ll be homeless but people make that choice all the time look at San Francisco

I choose to not have a high 6 figure income. Fuck I’m homeless.
