With the net double bogey rule that's a 67 right? Pretty great! 😄

Hitting his ninth shot from the tee box, he found the fairway with a 4-iron and proceeded to make a 5 on his fifth ball.

“The wind was blowing pretty hard to the right. I normally hit draws. With the tee box up, I decided to take driver out and see where it would get me. Ended up hooking that one out of bounds. Then we took 3-iron twice and ended up going through the fairway and bouncing out of bounds. Then I took a 4-iron, bounced out of bounds as well. Then finally got the fifth one in play.”

This is a good story and would be even better if we had the page from the yardage book for this hole. I was looking at it on Goggle maps, but unforunately there are 6 courses at this club!! Maybe I will call the club later today.

I would be a great lesson to understand the errors in course management that led to this man's personal horror story 😀

 

UPDATE: it was the Marshwood course.

great lesson

IMHO lesson here = shit happens. He had already tried to course manage this hole with the wind, shape of the hole, and his draw tendency. He accounted for everything as well as he could. Sometimes the golf gods just taketh.  

I am guessing the dude completely abandoned what happened on this hole out of his mind and picked up right where he left off to shoot 74.

+1 vote to the OP. Awesome!

He then hit two 3is through the fairway and then even a 4i, right?

Reminds me of Kevin Na's 16 during round one of the 2011 Valero Texas Open.  He wasn't even able to break 80 for the round. 

 

Great recovery for Chris!

    • Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels. 
    • Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).
    • Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.     Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon. 
    • Day 51 - 2024-11-20 Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.
