Two years ago now. 
When is the last time you had a personal best?
Got it today! 40/36 for a personal best 76!
After popping an 84 a couple weeks ago it got me to thinking and I think my PB is an 82 waaayyyy back in 2002.

I’d gone awhile since having any personal bests but for whatever reason, this weekend I was driving incredibly well! Like, herd of unicorns well.
Friday evening I hit a PB distance of 315 yards. Then right away the next afternoon I bested that by another 3 yards.

Ok. WTF do you do from the island ?

I’m not even sure what island. Y’all have a lot of them there.
Just had a type of personal best. 35 (-1) for 9 holes. 8 4’s and a 3. 8/9 GIR. And then, of course, I started to think about a personal best for 18 and blocked my tee shot on #10 into the tall grass (like 2 feet tall). I was screwed at that point. 
Same score 3x in about the last year. Takes a really good day where I feel 100% and firing on all cylinders. Interestingly enough I think 2/3 were while posting in live round thread.
June 2018, -4 (68).
The rest of that year, until a back injury in October, was under par a few times. But since, the closest I've been is even par a couple times. Most recently a few weeks ago, included going -3 on the back.
I've been in a heckuva relative funk since '18. But for the first time since, my game has been showing signs recently.
I'm going under par. Soon. Dangit!

You will never conquer golf.
Haven't had a PB in a while now as my game doesn't seem as strong as it did at the end of last year, but I did get two birdies in a round the other week which was super exciting for me and one was a long putt from the fringe. One bad hole destroyed what would have been a new PB for me. Dang golf!
June of 2019. I shot 65, 7 under, with 6 birdies on the front, a chip-in birdie on 10 and finished out with all pars. The course is rated 68.6/115. No bogies on the day. Prior to that I think my best to par was 68 on that same course. I still consider shooting 70, 2 under, on a Pete Dye course rated 75.5/147 among my best ever.
This is an easy one for me. 7/3/2020. It was a Friday night and my buddy and I were playing a twilight round at our home course. Being a bogey golfer, I was quite pleased with a 42 on the front. Started the back on fire being 1 under after 4 holes. Followed that up with bogey bogey...still happy I was only +1 after 6 holes on the back. Then we come to Hole 16, 140 yd Par 3. Loaded up the 9i, fell short with a big hop to the green and it rolled into the hole for my first Hole in One. Couldn't believe it and still can't to this day. I am lucky that it happened on the 16th hole, because I was too wired for the remainder of the round and finished with a double and a bogey. In the end, I went 42/38 for an even 80 which is/was my all time low score....with an Ace to boot.
Birdied the #1 handicap hole at Eagles Landing on Saturday. Personal best on that hole!

I had a PB yesterday from our tips. I shot a -3 69 on a 72.1/130 rating from a little over 6600 yards. That my best by 3 shot from those. My previous PB was a 68 from our blue tees 70.0/128 from 6200 last February. It was a fun round and I played pretty well and putted really good!
I hit 10/14 fairways though 6 were irons or hybrids and 12 GIR. The 4 missed were all with driver but only one was a bad drive. The other 3 were good balls that barely missed the fairway with two leaving pretty good shots to the green. On the missed GIR 3 were less than a foot off the green and within 12-18ft of the pin. The other 3 I only had one I didn’t get up and down and that was out of a bunker from a plugged lie that I put 10 ft above the hole and almost made the putt.

Yesterday! Shot an even par 72. 15 greens in regulation. 2 birdies 2 bogeys. Some good lag putting and the stars were aligned. Previous best on this course was 75 2 years ago.

On Friday I had my personal best (83). Certainly didn’t feel like I was striking the ball well but I made a lot of putts and was chipping well. Yesterday I played one of the most difficult courses I have ever played and I honestly felt that if the weather was better I would have flirted with matching my personal best
To have a best would imply that I’m good at something, or at least as good as I’ve ever been.
Had 3 in 2018
-shot my best score ever
-hit my longest on course accurately recorded drive
-completed the “lifetime eagle every hole on the front of my old home course” -except the 2 par 3’s Dangit. Holed out from 150(est) from the opposing fairway after an absolutely horrible drive (I’ve driven that green before).
I did set a PB in 2021. I wrote down a 13 on a scorecard. For one hole.

This isn't a personal best but my handicap is at the lowest point it has been since I started back playing regular golf after 10 years of only playing work golf. I am currently at a 2.6.

Last Wednesday broke par and 70 with a 2 under round of 69 for the first time ever. Unsurprisingly followed it up with a 79 at the weekend still lots of work to be done.
Awesome round. It is a sign of your potential. I found once I broke par for the first time I got more comfortable with it and shot lower scores more often.
Last year I was in a good groove and had a couple of PB scores in the low 80's.
This year has been very inconsistent. Sunday was an annoying 92 with 5, yes 5, 3 putt holes. One 3 putt was from 6 ft out, should have been a birdie and turned into a bogie. It was a downhill putt but just garbage.
Chipping was not great either Sunday

Mid June, which coincidentally was the last time i broke 80. This season has been one of essentially standing still.
Started recurring lessons in August and i see improvement in striking that will hopefully soon show itself in scoring.

I had a PB on Friday of +3 (my previous PB was +4 and I hit it once last year) I have been playing well lately and 4 of my last 5 rounds are on my hcp.
