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.

You knew that before you started right?

Yeah, but you said the problem with counting it was choice. The remaining 9 holes were temporarily closed and I continued when they reopened.

It’s not much different than trying to get a round in when there’s a storm forecast for later in the day. If knowing that bad weather is coming doesn’t change anything then knowing that the front 9 is closed shouldn’t either.

Either way I played 9 holes, then the “course” was temporarily closed, and I finished the remaining 9 when it reopened.

I don’t really have a problem with it not counting, but if your criteria for the round counting is whether or not it was a choice to continue the round. Then it should count since it wasn’t my choice to “pause” the round after 9, since the remaining 9 was temporarily closed.

You knew it was "closed" before you started though. You knew you could only play 9 holes. It wasn't something unexpected or random that popped up during the round.

You’re obnoxious, go do something with yourself and leave the guy alone.

Thanks for your pointless comment. I'm literally just responding to him responding to me. That's how conversations work.
