What were you using when you shot your lowest round(s)?

[GeauxGolfLSU]

Lowest rounds were back in spring of 2020 and to the best of my recollection, I was using the following:

 

Taylor Made M3 driver

Mizuno MP001 4 and 7 woods

Mizuno JPX 850 irons

Callaway MD3 wedges

Odyssey #9 putter of some sort

 

Shot a 70 on a par 72 on Mardi Gras day of 2020 and then the Sunday before Memorial Day shot a 67 on a par 70. Shot -1 one other time since then during the summer of 2022. 

[gvogel]

Shot 72 in the club championship (Cherry Hill Club) in 1979 - Spaulding persimmon driver, 3 and 4 wood.  Lynx Liberty Bell irons, Ram SW and I can't remember the putter, because it wasn't particularly good.

 

About 12 years ago I shot 68 on a 5,700 yard course - Ping G25 driver, 4-wood and 5-wood; AP1 (712) irons, Vokey wedge and Ping belly putter (I think), or Odyssey No 7.

 

I can hardly hit the broad side of a barn these days.  Aging is undefeated.

[NailedIt]

My first PB was a +1 round. Irons were Hogan Apex II 3-SW. Don't remember what woods I had. Nicklaus milled putter.

Last year shot my all time low -2 with Apex 21 irons, Epic Max LS driver, Epic Flash fairways, Stealth Glide 2.0 wedges and Odyssey 2 ball putter. Still playing the woods and putter.

[Pepperturbo]

In 2006 was playing Titleist 735cm, then 2007, bought a new 2i-PW set of original Callaway X-forged with PX 6.0 shafts.  I was ecstatic about them.  Just prior I had borrowed a new X-Forged 6i from a friend who owned LGS; using 6i and 3 wedges, shot somewhere in the low 80s from 6300+ White tees; ordered a set the next day. 

 

Don't recall exactly when I shot 68 and followed with an even Par 72 from Black tees, but it was around 2008.  Got my Hole-in-One in 2010.  They were fantastic clubs, still have them.  Eventually, in 2016 transitioned back to Titleist.  Since, my lowest was 73 with 620 MB & CB blend and still trying to better it.

 

What bothered me about Callaway, they capitulated to consumer complaints that X-forged were too difficult to hit; thus redesigned them and 8 months later reintroduced them.

My low round was 68, in 1980.

 

Persimmon Macgregor driver, a persimmon 4 wood, Hogan Apex 2-PW, a Wilson sand wedge and 8802 putter, hitting a Titleist Professional 90. I think I still have the driver and I know I have the Apexes and 8802!

[Kmagnuss]

My most consistent golf was when I had a membership and was playing twice a week.

 

Tsi2 driver

Sim 3 wood

Titleist 518h2 or some hybrid

Mizuno MP18 SC pw-4i

Cleveland 588 Reg 60, 56 and 51 wedges

1968? Ping Anser putter

 

[phizzy30]

Shot 68 when I was 21 at La Quinta Mountain.  That was over 20 years ago.  I think I had an OG R7 TP with Cally X-tour irons and Cleveland 588 wedges.  Shot 70 last year at Woodley Lakes which is a bomber's paradise with slow greens.  Had Paradym TD, SIM ti 3 metal, R11 rescue proto, New Level 623-M irons, Miura wedges and 2014 Newport 2.  Bag's still the same except driver which is now AI smoke TD and one of the Miura wedges that I gifted my father since his lob wedge was over 10 years old(Cleveland 588).

Everything in my signature accept the 4w and 4h. Back then I was using and Adams Super S 5w and a Cobra F8 3H. The irons and putter were especially hot that day.

[lil'mike]

It was last year, I played a local course two weekends in a row and shot a 79 then a 78.  Pretty good for only back playing for about 4 years and around a mid handi capper.  The course isn't very long, only runs about 5500 yards.

 

Score 79 - Paradym driver, 3HL, Heavenwood, old Cobra 3100 i/h graphite iron set, Powerbilt SW, Paramid putter.

 

Score 78 - Ping G410 LST, Ping Rapture 4wd and 7wd, Cobra 3100 i/h irons, Powerbilt SW, Paramid putter.

2 over par, not an overly hard course but it was in tournament set up at that time. Fast greens, hard pin placements and pressure. 

 

This was in 2016

Ping G25

I forgot what woods. 

Irons were Titleist AP1 714

Vokey SM5 Wedges 

Scotty Cameron Newport 2

[bvanlieu]

Have been 2-4 over with every set I have owned for 30 years. Just could never keep a 18 under par. 
 

finally cracked par last year on my home track with wrx approved bag that mostly was a year old. Plenty of non new clubs. 
 

same irons in bag today but don’t worry I have replaced that rogue LS with a paradym, and I am fixated on the DF3 build thread so I can still be here. 😀

[Hari_Selden]

Summer 1987...

77. Always was a lousy putter.

Cleveland Classics Tour Edition - 9 degree, DG S400 Driver

Cleveland Classics Tour Edition - 15 degree, DG S400 3 wood

Ram Tour Grind Vibration Matched 1-SW, Royal Precision FM6.5 (Stepped)

Ping '029 Anser

Ball was probably a Titleist Balata, but I don't remember.

Still have all those sticks, either on the wall or in a closet.

Tore up a shoulder lifting weights that fall, and never played that well again.

[WristySwing]

Thanks everyone.  These are interesting, keep them coming!  Lots of good players in this thread, love to see it.

I’ve shot 63 (-8) a few times. Last time was in a tournament that moved me from 20th place up to solo 2nd finish. 
 

Driver - Titleist 910 D3 w/original Diamana WB 83x

3 Wood - Titleist TS3

Irons - Ping s56 3-PW w/KBS C-Taper 125 (S+)

Wedges - Ping Glide 3.0 52/56/6

Putter - Seemore Zc3

 

The after, I pulled the shaft from my 5 iron because the ferrule was moving off the hosel so I wanted to fix it. Turns out the tip was bent. Ended up pulling all the shafts and all but 2 were bent tips. 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Mp14forlife]

Shot 63 a handful of times in tourny golf with the setup below. 

 

Driver: great big bertha Hawkeye 9 deg

Fairway: Warbird 5 wood, sometimes would carry the 3 wood.

I have questions.  Changed driver shaft halfway through the round huh?  Dang. 

[monkeyboy]

I shot a 72 one time about 14 years ago.

 

I think I had a Titleist driver and Exotics XCG irons (bought these blind a few years prior, was not fit for them.  Eventually when I did get fit, the fitter said the shaft was for sure not a good fit for me). Gauge Design GAA-8 putter (loved that one).

 

Started with a 36 on the front

Then all pars on the back until a birdie on #16...I'm sure I was licking my chops or getting nervous and had a stupid double on #17 (after a great drive).  Took a chance of trying to get on the green in 2 on the par 5 #18 - ended up on the fringe and converted the birdie for even par overall.

 

I did not hit alot of greens but I remember getting up and down from everywhere - great chipping and putting got the job done.

 

Did not get close to a 72 since then.

Yep! Realised my Golfwrx card was up for renewal so had to do what I had to do.

69 (37-32) on vacation with Taylormade rental clubs.  Bought irons when I got home 🙂

A 78 at the Atalaya Old Course in Spain. Played in 1998

[NRJyzr]

This is a lovely thread idea   😁

 

I've shot 73 on two occasions, both on the course I now call home (par 71).  One of them was from the white tees, the other from the blue tees.  Also have a 75 on a par 73, but a shortish course with five par five holes seems less interesting.  😉

 

In 2008, 73 from the white tees:
SMT 455DB Driver 7*, Apache PM50+ stiff, tipped 1"

Precept Tour Premium 14*, Accuflex Creation 80 X
2-PW Mizuno MS-11, DGX100 
Ram Tom Watson Scoring System 55/60

Golden Ram TW Custom putter (8802 analogue)

 

In 2012, 73 from the blue tees:

SMT Encore 9*, AJ Tech ZTour 90 X

2-PW Ram Tour Grind TG-898, Precision stepped 6.5 shafts

Scratch 8620 53* DS grind

Ram Troon Grind 58*

Snake Eyes Viper Tour Sv1

 

Don't remember the ball used in either round.  Nike One Tour D is a likely candidate, as much as I used it, as is the FG Tour.

 

Was big into SMT in those days, largely due to the OEM habit of driver loft inflation combined with my being a high trajectory player.  I was tired of trying drivers claiming to be 8.5* loft, and hitting them with 19* launch angle because they weren't anywhere close to spec.

 

Changed the heavy up in my swing in the four year gap above (never knew exactly how much).  LOL
