A few years ago, an innocuous question—mostly in jest!—triggered a heated debate about the criteria for “breaking 80.”
The hypothetical scenario: you play nine holes, the round is interrupted by weather or darkness, and you come back the next day to play the final nine. Would this count? On Saturday, I flirted with another potential thorny scenario. For logistical reasons, the starter sent us off the 12th hole, so we played the final seven holes, then waited around for another hour to tee off No. 1. I ended up blowing it anyway. Still, for a brief moment, my back seven and my opening 11 holes were pointing to a score in the 70s. Would you count it?
