I shot a 97



Coming into today, my previous long drive was 201--I had only hit over 200 yards once in my life. In my warm up, I hit a drive 213 yards. Then on the 12th hole, I hit a drive 230 yards. 

In October 2025, my longest drive was 166 yards. Today it was 230 yards. That's crazy.

April 6, 2026
3 pars
9 bogeys
3 doubles
3 triples or worse
0 mulligans
total score 97

Today I made par on a par 4 (twice) and a par 3 (once).

My par + bogey count today: 12
Double or worse: 6

Last time it was 10 and 8. 

Also there were three holes where I left my putt less than a foot short on a good line. So very easily could be talking about a 95 right now.

I did hit into two water hazards today, but the drop zone was near the green so, it didn't blow up my round. 

The first holes are always rough. I did a longer warm-up to mitigate that but it just is what it is.

I played holes 6-9, just one over par. Three pars and a bogey over that stretch. And then I continued the next four holes, bogey every time. If you apply that stretch to 9 holes, that's 42 or an 84 over 18. 

I'm defintely still improving and still left a ton of scoring out there. Plenty of room to get better.

  1. There's a graph where eventually you'll be better than Tiger Woods at golf. You're trending up and he's trending down. Maybe in a few years, or maybe only after he dies.
