TLDNR - Could not hit my favorite/best club. Hit 4/5 Par 3's and par'd ONE of them!
___________________________________________________________
Hit 4 of 5 par 3’s this weekend. Par’d ONE of them….3-putted the others and got a 5 on the one I missed.
Could not nit my 3H to save my life even though that’s my more reliable long club. Topped the hell out of it ALL DAY LONG…..
Par’d NO 11 with a nice 8-foot putt for par. Then fell completely apart for 3-holes (6, 8, 8). On one hole I had a decent drive that just went a little left towards some trees….So I take my 7I to knock it back onto the fairway and hit the ONLY branch sticking out in my line of flight and if fell back into the rough….Hit the damn ball solid too!
Hit a nice drive on one hole that landed right on the cart path where it crosses over the fairway and the ball shot straight right into the water….one of THREE lost balls on the front 9 (lost none on the back)….overall very frustrating until the last 3 holes….bogey, par, bogey (3-putt).
My son was playing his first 18 and he is one of the most calm people you will ever meet. Not quick to anger or get frustrated, esp. with sports stuff….he really struggled with topping the ball (he’s had 2-lessons and hit the range many times with me) and on 17 he just slammed his 7I into the ground and goes “DAMNIT!”….. He then proceeded to hit his PW right up next to the hole from ~75 out. He just looked at me and I laughed and said “now you want to keep playing, don’t you?”…he chuckled and shook his head yes.
