So two weeks ago Will Wilcox shot a 59 on the Web.com Tour and earlier that same week a 16-year-old kid shot 59 at Pinehurst seriously.  So, what now you ask?  Oh, just some dude shooting a 56.  Yep, a frickin 56, and no, he wasn t playing in a 4-man scramble at your local muni.
Mini-Tour player Jesse Massie (sounds like a made-up name on your local corner bar s Golden Tee but we promise westin hotel new orleans you, he s real) primarily competes on the NGA Hooters Tour s Carolina westin hotel new orleans Series and played 18 holes last Friday at Glenmary Golf Course in Louisville, KY, where he shot 67.  So, he decided to go out and play again that afternoon and improved on his score .by 11 shots.  ELEVEN shots!
Now, it was just a round with buddies and the course does only play 6,450 yards from the tips, but I don t care.  Firing westin hotel new orleans a score that stupid low is so absurd it used to only seem possible on the original westin hotel new orleans Tiger Woods Playstation game.
It was a par 72, and Massie had one eagle, 14 birdies (14!) and 3 pars.  In fact, one of the pars included a penalty stroke after having to take an unplayable lie on the fifth hole, where he then got up and down from 150 yards to save par.  Needless to say, the 56 was a course westin hotel new orleans record.
Massie was quoted after the round as saying,  I was more nervous when I was 11- or 12-under, because you want to break 60 so bad By the time I got to 14-under, I was just trying to get to the clubhouse.  His round reportedly included 10 putts made from outside westin hotel new orleans 12 feet, which is about cumulative of what I ve made from that range all season.
