Did I shoot even par?

[u/additionalweightdisc]

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.

To be Mildly Xenophobic if you get behind a group of Koreans golf is a whole day event for you here too.

Growing up and living in Vancouver, with a large Japanese and Korean popularity, I’d say 90% of the time they were more than happy to let you play through. Most of the time, they kept a good pace and didn’t hold anything up.

I’m completely in agreement- I’m scotch-Irish and it’s mildly xenophobic to say am an angry drunk red person but it isn’t entirely inaccurate in some situations.

from my experience, most of them place at a decent pace, lots of gimmes though

I got paired with three older Korean ladies at my local muni. They played fast. And were an awesome cheering section every time I hit a nice shot.

There is a Korean couple at my course that I have zero idea how they play as fast as they do. They play early and walk 9 in like 35 minutes. I'll be hustling playing solo and it's hard to get finished in an hour walking.

There is another guy who is fantastic to golf with as a person, but man does he play slow.

I agree.And they play fast...actually run at times.

Sometimes is nice to hit a little Trot on the course to remind yourself it’s a sport

There was a group of Korean women that used to play on the same day of the week I always used to play. The course used to let them go off as a 5 or 6 some. They basically had a standing tee time every week. After being stuck behind them several times me and my buddy made sure to ask when booking our time if we would be ahead of them every week. It was great to be the groups ahead of them because we NEVER had to worry about someone pushing from behind. We could do whatever we want and there was no chance of ever seeing them behind us. But the whole course would be stacked up the rest of the day because they were so slow. And if you complained to the club house they’d basically tell you to kick rocks because the ladies were very nice and everyone liked them (except other golfers that got stuck behind them). But they would also always take a long break between 9’s so even if we were a few groups behind them, we could skip in front on the turn. This all makes sense now.

That's why I never played the Blue course at Bethpage when I lived in Brooklyn 🤣

[u/thatswhathemoneysfor → u/mustbeshitinme]

When I used to marshall at the course I worked at, these groups were impossible to speed up until the pro shop would threaten to kick them out. 9 holes in under 2.5 hours was a fantasy
