That looks like a video game round. And he missed a hole in one by inches.

This is seriously amazing. The range was closed so no warm up even.

I figured this was going to be on some 5600 yard course or something. oobgolf's scorecard says it's 6684; I can't quite make out what the yardage on the picture of the scorecard in the article is. I know it's not hugely long, but it's not as if he was driving a bunch of par-4s.

12 inch cups? I really don't see how this is possible... also having had a round of 60 with 7 straight pars???... something fishy imo but idk anything i'm just cynical.

Re: College Golfer Shoots 55

It's definitely possible. There is a probability of basically playing 18 straight holes as well as you possibly can. And he probably didn't even do that as he parred a few holes he could possibly birdie. Very improbable obv. but it's not like Kim Jong Illest holing out par 5s from the tips. Just an absurd outlier but those do happen.

Not sure I believe this. 55 with a par on a 500 yard par 5?

Re: College Golfer Shoots 55

The short yardage isn't as helpful as you may think.

An 1,800 yard course would still be a par 54.
