I didn't see THAT coming...

...had to do something on Saturday that was very ugly and actually made me a little sick. I had to post a score of 100. Not 99, 100. The last 100 score dropped off the card in the last reporting period which was a milestone for me. Now I threw another one on!!! #$%$!!! Any suggestions on how to convince my wife that I need to play 20 rounds in the next month because of this horrible blight?!?! Anyway, I know it was just one of those days and I did hit the range yesterday and things looked and felt ok but it was quite a shock. Just when I thought I would never shoot 100 again.... Man this game is a real @$$-kicker!

There endith the rant.

Sorry for your plight.

One thing you should never do in golf is to say "never".

The good news is you're probably only going to improve :)

Ahhh... I shot an 88, 89, and 90 over two weeks, but I also shot a 118 and a 107. Thats golf.

ive been consistently shooting in the 80's for the last 3 weeks.

then i shot a 96 on saturday. my whole swing fell apart.

golf is a game of funny bounces i guess....

With an under 12 HC, I would have never saw that coming either! What was the problem? Too much beer? Not enough beer? Sand in the eye on every green blurring your vision?

Like everything else in this game it's mostly mental. I had been up at 5:00, went with the wife to pick up flowers, got home did a bunch of planting, mowed the lawn, and cleaned out the garage. Then I raced to the course and just get there 10 minutes before my tee-time and then sliced one straight out of bounds. Seemed like I was in a fog for several holes in which I shanked, snap hooked, and in general just went through the motions without visualizing the shot. I rarely drink during a round but after the 6th the beverage cart came by and had a bit of the Captain. After that I hit 5 straight greens and things settled down again. Again, it was my mental state that caused the bad score. Interesting foot note I took a half of a day on Wed from work and went back to the scene of the crime. Promptly shot an 83. Little better frame of mind this time!

It happens, man. I usually shoot low to mid 80's and I shot 95 in my High School Conference Tournament. We all have our good rounds and bad rounds. That's golf.

Thanks goodness for this site, at least we know we have plenty of company when it comes to out-of-whack rounds.
