I just started a first round of 2012 thread and also wondered if there were any memorable last rounds of 2011.
Technically, my last round of 2011 was a 9 hole glow round on my Dixie Lee DGC played around 11:00 P.M. on New Year's Eve. I only used three baskets, playing each basket from three tee positions.
My final "real" rounds were also played on 1-31-11 around 1:30 P.M. TinHornDan and I played two rounds of 9 holes at Red Neck DGC in Confluence, PA. I like to think that we both rocked the course on our first nine. He shot a 4 under 23 and I shot a 5 under 22. We came back down to Earth the 2nd time around, however, both shooting par, 27. It's amazing how this game has a way of humbling me!
So I won the day by one throw. Although he made it close coming down to the wire. I was leading by 4 going into the last two holes. I parred #8 while he drained a 40'+ putt for birdie. The lead was down to 3. Then I choked on a <20' putt, hitting the cage for bogey, while he parked his drive and nailed the birdie putt. Thus, my one shot victory. It's probably a good thing we didn't play 27.
All in all, it was a really fun day of golf.
