Buddy beat Ben Hogans course record

[turkeyfeathers]

So course record of like 60+ years by Ben Hogan is now owned by a friend of mine  Previous was 64  He shattered it with a 31-30 =61    Actually left a couple out there too. Parred a par 5 only 500 yards  He hits it 340 all day long, not even kidding. Plays some mini tours and when gets it going really gets it going. Brookfield CC. I caddied for him at The Porter Cup last year. Next to the Amateur it's the largest am tourney there is.

My personal best is 66 at Fox valley CC  and Lancaster CC (9 birdies and 3 bogeys)  some 67's thrown in there too. 61 is freakin crazy number . I contribute his 61 by me tinkering and toying with his irons and wedges in our lie/ loft machine here at work lol

Assistant pro from that club just came in.     Hogan shot in 1948.  And found out buddy shot 65 2 or 3 times this year out there

Absolutely true. Members are pizzed as going to get thwacked with a huge assessment. Many are leaving because of it

[Arcade Hunter]

Jeeze... If I break 100 I'm having a good round!

[bugsNbows]

Last time I played I couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a handful of rice!

Brookfield is hard, if you miss a fairway it's like finding your ball in a coffee cup. That rough is rough!

[BizCT]

It's usually a local who has course records. I remember once reading the story of the Bethpage Black record. some local shot 64 and didn't even win whatever tourney it was. It just all came together one day, but I think he missed two short putts also.

Dug this up. Played with 29 of these guys. Sadly my name isn't anywhere on there. Well dang, just noticed . I shot 67 at Byrncliff which apparently is tied. White tees , oh well. Lol  Had one up in East Lansing , MI for a few years with a 68 but that got wiped.

I'm an office golfer if that.  i just bought a new set of clubs couple years ago.  i've used them once.  i do like playing but can't get out enough with other stuff going on.  i've played so many times i could probably count them all on my fingers not that long ago.

[sodfather]

What's the big deal I shoot 60's all the time. We're talking 9 holes right!!

[Lawdwaz]

You ever look at the champs board at Putt Putt on Sheridan?

 

Yea/no.......I'm not even on the back of the damn sign.

Congrats to your buddy TF, that's very cool!

[Moho81]

TF you got the link for that buffalo news article handy?

Some of those scores surprise me as in they are a little higher that I would expect. Like a 69 at Buffalo Tournament Club? I do not find that course to be hard at all. I'm not saying I can shoot 69 there I'm just saying I'm surprised the record is a 69. 

 

And Dustin Johnson holds the record for The Links at Ivy Ridge.... is that the same Dustin Johnson that is currently the world number one golfer?

Are you a member there?  I think my buddy Steve Sharkey is a member.  Need to confirm.

I doubt too many world class golfers have played there, and you need to be one to shoot 69

[turkeyfeathers]

Yes, the same Dustin Johnson  and the likes of Jeff Maggert, Jim Thorpe, Vijay Singh and Dudley Hart. All PGA professionals

[mlammerhirt]

Was the Dustin Johnson appearance a promotional thing...?

Yeah but those where all private country clubs they played on and not a public course.
