If you’re a casual player, you might average somewhere around -10 and think you’re pretty decent, but then you see that someone somewhere somehow shot -30 on this very course, leaving you completely baffled! How is this possible? What am I missing?
Well, I’m going to simulate a great round on the 2009 Golden Tee course Bonnie Moor and show you exactly how this is possible! No, you’ll probably never be able to reach this milestone yourself, but it can certainly help you know how to play the course so you give yourself the best chance of posting a much better score than you normally shoot!
Hole 1: The wind is directly in your face so you poke a driver straight ahead. With a back pin, you approach dead-on with an iron and use roll for a hole-out eagle. Score: -2.
Hole 2: You’re set up in the middle of the tee box, 350 yards away, with the pin on the right. You hit a nice A1 with backspin that clears the gully and cuts back onto the green. You make your eagle putt. Score: -4.
Hole 3: You float a 2-iron down the hill using no roll, and it sticks close to the pin. You make your birdie putt. Score: -5.
Hole 4: You hit a 3-wood with backspin over the tall grass and stick it short of the bunker. You nail your approach shot and make the eagle putt. Score: -7.
Hole 5: You have a decent tee box and rotate right a couple times to play a big C3 with roll into the fairway. You carry your approach shot to the green and make the eagle putt. Score: -9.
Hole 6: You take aim at a safe spot on the green that’s also pretty close to the pin, and you stick a 3-wood close. You make your eagle putt. Score: -11.
Hole 7: You carry your tee shot safely over the tall grass and stick it close to the hole, where you tap in for birdie. Score: -12.
Hole 8: You curve a C3 shot nicely through the neck of the fairway, giving you a nice, open approach shot. You nail the approach and putt in for eagle. Score: -14.
Hole 9: You’re on the left tee box and have a fairly straight look into the green, where the pin is on the right. You play a small A1-type 3-wood with backspin to hold the center of the green, and you putt in for eagle. Score: -16.
Hole 10: You poke a driver with backspin straight ahead into the fat part of the fairway, and you carry your approach safely up to the green. You make your birdie putt. Score: -17.
Hole 11: You’re on the right side of the tee box, shooting into the green on the right. You play a small hook with backspin using a 3-wood to stick the green, and you make your eagle putt. Score: -19.
Hole 12: You take the shortcut up on top of the hill with a 3-wood off the tee, and then you float a 5-wood down to the green. You make your eagle putt. Score: -21.
Hole 13: You thumb an iron to the top part of the sloped green and watch the slope carry the ball down towards the hole. You make your birdie putt. Score: -22.
Hole 14: You hit a 3-wood with backspin into the fat part of the green closest to the pin, and you ram in your eagle putt. Score: -24.
Hole 15: You hit an iron off the tee to leave yourself around 240 yards to the pin. You float a 5-wood over the tall grass and stick it close, where you then make your birdie putt. Score: -25.
Hole 16: The wind is helping and you have a decent spot on the tee, so you crank a 400-yard C3 with roll down to the second fairway. You stick your approach in the middle of the green and make your eagle putt. Score: -27.
Hole 17: You club up and play a small hook into the slope of the green with backspin, watching it curl up nicely next to the hole. You tap in for birdie. Score: -28.
Hole 18: You take aim at the green with a 3-wood, landing it just over the concrete wall. Backspin helps you hold the green, and you make your eagle putt. Score: -30.
So you see, it’s that easy! Golden Tee Par can set up to be -29 on this course, and if you add one holeout somewhere you’re at -30.
Of course, it’s the combination of getting a GREAT setup like the one above, on a great scoring course like Bonnie Moor, with no mistakes along the way, that makes it possible. But if you execute every shot and don’t miss any putts, you’re looking at -30 or something close to it! Most of us cannot execute all these shots and make all our putts, so that’s what separates the pros from the amateurs. Now you’ll have an idea how a -30 was posted the next time you come across one of these scores on the leaderboard!
