After doing some research online and finding a website with statistics on every possible course in the country available, I printed off a scorecard and will be keeping track of my scores on a hole-by-hole basis. I will then transfer those numbers to this blog so I can always go back and see my progress on different courses.
The scorecard I printed says every hole is a par 3 from the blue tee box, but that is simply ridiculous. There is no way you can say that hole 4 and holes 1 and 12 are all the same when the distances range from 167 feet to 541 and 557 feet each. So I tweaked with the official score of 54 and have decided a total of 59 at Veteran’s Park is more accurate. It is still challenging, but birdies are now actually possible.
By my scoring, holes 1, 3, and 7 are par 4 and hole 12 is a par 5. This adds three to the front nine and two to the back nine. With the thick woods and long distances on certain holes that remained par 3, it is still a challenging course for beginners and pros.
My score yesterday ended up being 69, resulting in a +10 for the course. Not good at all, but if that is the worst I ever shoot out there as of keeping track from here on out then I will be okay with that. I birdied hole 15. I shot six pars on holes 1-2, 4, and 11-12, and 16. My 11 bogies came on holes 3, 5-10, 13-14, and 17-18.
My official score looked like the following:
Hole 1 (4) – 4
Hole 2 (3) – 3
Hole 3 (4) – 5
Hole 4 (3) – 3
Hole 5 (3) – 4
Hole 6 (3) – 4
Hole 7 (4) – 5
Hole 8 (3) – 4
Hole 9 (3) – 4
Out (30) – 36
Hole 10 (3) – 4
Hole 11 (3) – 3
Hole 12 (5) – 5
Hole 13 (3) – 4
Hole 14 (3) – 4
Hole 15 (3) – 2
Hole 16 (3) – 3
Hole 17 (3) – 4
Hole 18 (3) – 4
In (29) – 33
Total (59) – 69 (+10)
