First "Barkie"

[Bubble Head]

I wanted to share my joy of a recent accomplishment.

I was playing a 170yd par 3. It is narrow, with big trees on both sides. Just before the green, the leaves from the left side almost meet the leaves from the right.

My normal shot is a fade and my normal miss is a slice. The shot was going to carry 165 but it encountered a right side tree trunk first. It bounced out to 5 yards from green and 10 to the hole. I chipped to 2 feet and sunk the put.

I am a happy camper. :thumbs up:

I call those "Playstation Shots" and they are lots of fun.

My most memorable was on a 165-yard par 3 hole fronted by a bunch of big, flat rocks. I hit my tee shot about 155 yards and it hit a rock and bounced straight up into the air, then hit and bounced about 10 more times, before coming to rest right on top of the rock it originally hit.

Chaos Theory personified...

Oh, I thought a "barkie" had to do with either what the girl you're with looks like or the position you find yourself in with her....

Played an uphill approach on a par 5 through a tree...one of the limbs changed my ball's flight path from left of pin to dead at the pin. Stopped a few feet short, 1 putt for par.

For you, that would be a "barfie."

Not since the last time I was in Tampa. Btw, when you sending my shoes back?

Is it my fault you were adopted by a 21 year old super model a few years ago?

I drew this picture to commemorate my miracle shot. It left me only a couple of feet from the pin.

Lol, I had a similar shot last week. Par 3, about 140. Cart path about 10 yards behind the green. I overshoot the green and hit the cartpath, ball bounces back because the combination of back spin ( I guess) and the slant of the cartpath down towards the green. Rolls to within 5 feet, 1 putt for birdie.

Once you've got the barkie next comes the rocky and the fency.
