I haven't lost it like I lost it today in many years.
And I paid for it.
Lately, I have been putting like crap. Well not really. They just won't go in the hole. Barely missing putts for about three months.
Today on the front side, I missed four birdie putts and made one. Shot five over.
Hole number ten is a uphill Par 3 with a two tier green. If the pin is on the front and you hit your tee shot onto the upper level, the odds of getting the ball to stop when you putt back down to the lower level are low.
So the pin is up today. 175 yards uphill on the front of the green.
I take out five iron and smoke it about 185 and am on the back of the upper level.
I MUST hit my putt so that hit just barely barely has enough momentum to roll off the upper level - down the slope - so that it will stop on the lower.
Its about 25 feet to the edge.
I hit what I think is a great putt and the ball stops on the very top of the slope. Two revolutions to reach the point where the ball will fall on its own gravity to the lower level.
I am PISSED.
I am about 15 feet from the hole and about 3 feet above it in elevation standing on the top level.
Barely stroke it and the ball almost rolls off the front. I have an 8 footer coming back for bogey.
Miss it for a Four Putt.
I am so pissed that I take my putter and slam it into the side of my bag.
We play the next hole (I tee off with Driver) and I take a bogey after missing yet another makeable 10 footer.
So we are teeing off on the 12th. A short Par 4.
I take out my precious Sonartec ss-03 14.
Walk to the tee box and take a very small practice swing.
The club snaps in half.
Wonderful.
