| 3rd hole at Westchase G&C in Tampa is a 160ish P3 that is 95% carry with a lake in front of the green, marsh and traps left, trees behind and traps on the right. Trying to avoid all of that mess, I decide to play long and at least give myself a shot to make par with a 2 putt. I decide to go with a short 4-iron and still am amazed by what happened.
The ball starts out right of the flag and begins to draw back in (which is doubly impressive because I can't hit a draw to save my life) and starts to move aggressively through the air. I'm hoping for the ball to sit so I don't take my next shot from behind some trees. Anyway, the ball slams into one of the palm trees and ricochets toward the green and stops maybe 2 inches from the pin.
A good buddy of mine that was there still believes that was the luckiest shot he's ever seen, and it's definitely one of my luckiest! |
