Actually, I thought that one was pretty easy except for that last hole. ---

37, with 6 hole-in-ones, including the first 3 holes and 5 of the first 7. And the 18th! The 2nd course was a little more doable, but that 18th hole was HARD. I also liked the porno music in the background. ---

This floated around work a couple weeks ago. I became obsessed with mastering this without cheating. My best score is 26 and it took _forever_ to get under 30. ---

Second time playing I scored a 46. I would have done in the high 30’s if I didn’t need 9 strokes on the 17th hole. I had four hole in 1’s 2 1 2 3 2 2 1 4 1 3 2 1 2 4 3 2 9 2 ---

Yeah, that 17th hole is a bitch! The 4th gives me a pain, too. I can almost always get par on it, but I just can’t seem to get under par. My best score so far is a 32. ---

My first try yielded a score of 50. That’s with 5 holes in 1 (including an ace on the 18th). The windmill on 13 was _evil_ (I spent 8 strokes there), and the 17th made me cough up 6 strokes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ill-write-the-excuse-for-your-boss/104194.md?page=1)
