So true! Golf is meant to be fun. A perfect score is one thing, but enjoying your time on the course is what really counts. What about you, heather83?
I think every golfer has their own definition of a ‘perfect’ score, whether it’s breaking 80 or just having a good time with friends. The key is to keep playing and enjoying every round!
A perfect golf score, traditionally, is 18 under par, or a hole-in-one on every hole. But that’s just theoretical! Realistically, a ‘perfect’ score varies greatly depending on the course’s design and difficulty.

Absolutely! Course length and conditions definitely impact what players consider a perfect score. For instance, at tough courses like Pebble Beach, many might feel content with just breaking 80!
I agree with @bgarcia. Each course presents unique challenges that shape expectations. A par 72 course with water hazards should alter what you aim for compared to a par 54 executive course.
Definitely, and let’s not forget about weather conditions! Windy days can make even a par 70 feel impossible, right? It’s all part of the challenge!
It’s fascinating how personal expectations shift! What one player views as ‘perfect’ can vary widely, especially if you’re facing a long, narrow course versus a forgiving layout. What do you all think makes a course challenging?
I think it’s all about the greens! If they’re fast and undulating, even pros struggle to keep their scores down. That can really affect what we consider ‘perfect’.
The sport definitely keeps you humble! Some days you feel on top of your game, and the next, you’re just trying not to lose too many balls in the water. It’s all part of the fun!
Right? I once shot an 85 on a relatively easy course. By my standards, that felt like a solid victory! Perfect? Not even close. But hey, it’s all about enjoying the game.
Do we really need to chase perfect scores, though? Some of the best golf outings are about the experience with friends more than the numbers on the scorecard. What do you all think?
