The 9-hole scoring record on the PGA Tour refers to the lowest total ever on a front nine or back nine. Here are the best 9-hole totals:
26 - * Corey Pavin, front nine, first round, 2006 U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee (par 34)
27 - * Mike Souchak, back nine, first round, 1955 Texas Open (par 35) * Andy North, back nine, first round, 1975 B.C. Open (par 34) * Billy Mayfair, back nine, final round, 2001 Buick Open, (par 36) * Robert Gamez, front nine, third round, 2004 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic (par 36)

How the hell do you shoot 26 for nine holes? Even on a par 35, that's averaging birdie for all nine holes!
You have to be good enough to reach all the par 5's in 2 shots. That is just the beginning. If you play the same course all the time, then you know all the trouble spots and how to avoid them. Remember, you are playing against the course, not another player. Once you start competing with a person, you might as well kiss it goodbye. And it was on a par 72 course of a little over 7,000 yards. Par 36 out, par 36 in. Most everyone doesn't hit a ball as hard as they need to. They play like they are killing a snake. They hit it as hard as they can. ;o)

For the ligero tobacco in the filler, he would use two types, one from Esteli and the other from Jalapa in Nicaragua. The other filler components, seco and viso, would come from Cuba, the former from Villa Clara, the latter from Pinar del Rio. That Cigar, he says with pride, would score 100 points." -Don Pepin Garcia
All you have to do is not count all of your shots it really isnt that hard!! I shoot under 30 all of the time and then I wake up.

I`ve shot 29 twice. Both on the same 9 holes on a par 35. Funny thing is I shot 41 on the front side both times That was back when I was playing almost everyday and thinking about playing college golf.
68 is my 18 low and 32 is my 9 low (different rounds). However, I was three under through six once, and had knocked it to 5 feet on the 7th hole par 4. On the way down the hill to the green my buddy threw the cart into neutral, as always. He misjudged the curve at the green and turned the cart over.
I went up to put for birdie with rocks in my hand from the "wreck." I shot 37 on the 9.
