Tale of the day...

Yep, my first thread in the Hackers side. And I deserve it.

Headed out yesterday feeling good. Hit the ball incredibly solid on the range beforehand and felt fresh.

Then, things went downhill.

After driving the ball very well, I found myself pulling almost every single iron. Now, that's not such a bad thing, but I just wasn't getting the hops. Well, I was, but into the water, into the sand, etc.

We'd had alot of rain over the last few days, so the bunkers were hard as hell. Baked and half clay. Just brutal. I bladed 3 wedges over the green and into oblivion on 3 - 3- par 3's. I had 4 7's on my scorecard. I haven't had a 7 all year!

However, here's some silver lining (for my mental health). I eagled 17 with the sweetest drive/5 iron combo to 3 feet. Stuck it like a pig. Just a beauty. Rolled it in for some salvation. I also birdied the two hardest holes on the course. I was putting well, but my sand/chipping game was atrocious.

Here's the tale of the tape:

no three putts
13/14 fairways
3/18 GIR
28 putts

Final score?

96.

This year, I hadn't shot more than 82.

"Hi, my name is Thomas, and I am a closet hacker."

Feck me.

I think this is some kind of Karma payback for torturing us (especially Eracer) with your "Guess what I've ho'd now" threads.

Be careful, you only missed triple digits by 4 shots....

So, I guess you're looking for some Big Bertha's or r7's to replace those Nak's now, aren't you? I hear G10's are good, too...

I'm sure glad they don't allow guns in Canada. He might have gone postal.

That was solid. Well done.

I'm playing to a 4.1 USGA.

Say, 79 for easy math. Course is rated at 72.9.

Sounds like you don't have enough game for those naks, Rock. I'll take them.
