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!

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
