I don't get it. I scaffled and hacked my ball around the course today to the tune of a really ugly 50 (nine holes). I didn't even have a single penalty stroke--I just spent all day getting out of the most unimaginably horrid lies...and then when I get on the green, I can't putt.
I hate putting. I didn't make a single putt outside of six feet today, and I three putted 5 times.
Here's my shot by shot recap:
First hole (long par 4)
1 - Drive down the middle about 280
2 - 8 iron hacked offline to the right from 150-ish, only 3 feet off the green.
3 - Chip it up, only to watch the ball sloooooowly roll all the way off the front side of the green, 30 feet away. (They say they're going to level that green off. About !&$%ing time.)
4 - Chip again.
5 - one putt from three feet.
Second hole (par 3)
1 - Toed the hell out of the 8 iron from 155, 30 yards short.
2 - Chipped it up.
3, 4 - two putt from 10 feet.
Third hole (par 5)
1 - Drive about 250 out, and 150 into the trees on the right
2 - Punch out sideways back to the fairway
3 - Massive slice with the 3 wood (ball below feet) into the trees on the right
4 - Punch out again.
5 - Chip
6, 7, 8 - three putt from 15 feet.
Fourth hole (par 4)
1 - Drive about 300 down the right side, nestles right up to a tree.
2 - towering 9 iron over some trees--think I caught some hosel, because it was short and right.
3 - Chip on.
4, 5, 6 - three putt from 10 feet. I blew the first one ten feet past.
Fifth hole (par 4)
1 - Drive about 270 right in the middle of the fairway...so that I have a downhill, ball below the feet shot.
2 - Skulled the 9 iron over the green and into the trap.
3 - Facing a downhill sand shot, I putted out instead.
4, 5 - two putt from 8 feet.
Sixth hole (par 4)
1 - pull-hooked a 3 iron about 220 into the trees on the left, got a good bounce, kicked out.
2 - pulled the 7 iron
3 - Chipped it up
4, 5, 6 - three putt from 15-20 feet.
Seventh hole (par 4)
1 - 3 wood pulled about 250, left-center.
2 - 8 or 9 iron (can't remember, my memory isn't perfect...) short and right (sliced!)
3 - flubbed the chip.
4, 5, 6 - three putt.
Eighth hole (par 3)
1 - 9 iron from 135. Not sure what I did, but it wasn't good contact and it landed on the front edge.
2, 3 - two putt. I actually made par. :laugh:
Ninth hole (par 5)
1 - Drive about 280 up the right side
2 - Toed the hell out of the 3 wood and watched it careen about 150 yards into a sand trap on the right.
3 - Left the 80 yard sand shot well short of the green.
4 - chip up.
5, 6, 7 - three putt right in front of 20+ guys watching from the club house. I just tossed my putter in the air and gave up.
I HATE PUTTING!!!
