Tee'd up on the 9th box yesterday while I'm talking with one of the volunteers who played 9 with us.
I sometimes make the mistake of continuing to talk right up til Im starting to swing, which Im sure is a one reason (among a few) I score better playing alone.
So of course the ball doesnt go where I wanted it to go, but thankfully it does actually end up where I SHOULD have been trying to make it go (if I had any sense).
Its in the short rough by a bunker that actually shortens the whole by probably 75 yards or more (as opposed to driving to the center of the dogleg then coming in from there).
But your firing blind across tall trees so you have to walk a few yards, try to get your line, then walk back to your ball and get it your best shot.
Im sure you better players could have done better than I did, but I ended up hitting the green based on where my ball was had a pretty good zero on the flag when I made the shot.
Used my trusty 4 hybrid, which was a little longer than I'd hoped, but its the club I have the most confidence in of all that I have now. The 5 might have been a better choice distance wise, but Im having some problems hitting the 5 for some weird reason. Just dont trust it right now.
Walked off with a par, thankfully.
I love it when there is some extra challenge to a shot.
For some reason I have more trouble sitting on a tee box hitting down a open fairway than I do being in trouble deep in the woods.
I think I get that driving range mentality on the tee a lot of times rather than focusing on a specific target or goal.
I would like to hear about some of those shots you all have made that you'll never forget.
Its one of the things that make this game memorable.
