| I hate Trees! I hit a 49 myself last night. I was doing real well, getting ready to squeak another win on my partner. Everything was going great until that last hole.
I had laid up a little short to make the dogleg, but I was going to play it safe and avoid the water in the corner. We had taken a new player with us, it was his second time on a course. As I lined up, he asked "Why don't you just cut the corner over the pond, wouldn't that get you a lot closer?"
Like an idiot, I turned and tried. I hit a branch and dropped the ball right into a flock of ducks. So I dropped a new ball at the ponds edge, and went for the green. I had the distance, but was a little off in my aim.
Instead of the green, I dropped into the nastiest sand trap on the course. On my first shot out of the sand, I hit the top of the hill, the ball rolled back with in 6" of where it had been. The next shot was a little better, but the greens were fast and angled away, the ball rolled past the pin, picked up speed and right off into the sand on the other side. :x
That was the only hole my partner hit par on all night. |
