This Game is Frustrating

[ddehr026]

I quite possibly played the most frustrating round of golf ever yesterday. I played with my roommate, his father, and a client all of which where about mid 80's to mid 90's players. I was hitting the ball so well and it seemed every time i missed the fairway it was only by a few feet, but every time i was either under a pine tree, or directly behind it. The guys i was playing with were spraying the ball everywhere and not getting in any trouble at all. In addition, I had 4 eagle putts, and 3 putted all of them, im usually a pretty decent putter. So, i ended up shooting +6, with 3 doubles cuz of pine trees, four 3 putts for pars, and a bunch of birdies and bogeys...


I guess the morale of the story is, if your gunna miss the fairway, be bad enough to miss so much that your in another fairway?

lol...i needed to vent..

That sounds like Tiger's strategy.

I feel for you but if you went out and shot or tied your best score every time it would get boring.

I started golf at 10 years old, and played until about 5 years ago, so that's 40 years of golf. I restarted this year and am having the most fun ever. I work for a good score, (shot 81 today) which is about my average game. I had a blast: even on 18 when my poorly hit drive hit a nearby tree and actually ended up behind where I teed off. I laughed about it. I also hit my second shot on a 400 yr par 4, with an 8 iron to within 1 foot. It was a thing of beauty perfectly struck, landed 4 feet from the hole and rolled to within 12" of the cup. At the ripe old age of 56 I have learned to enjoy the beautiful course, the well hit shots, the stupid dubs, the challenge of the ball behind the tree, the 30 ft. puts that drop and the 4 footers that don't. I'm not playing the US Open. I'm out to have fun and a little bad luck and a badly hit ball is not going to ruin it.

dont know what your bitching about sounds like my typical round :)

I know what your saying, I'll have days where I feel like I'm doing everything right and my score will beg to differ.

Sounds like a round I had a few days ago. Every time I was just off the fairway I had a tree to deal with. It was like the trees were a magnet for my ball.

I even smoked a 4-iron on a long par 5, just off to the left a bit in what looked like a pretty wide open area...except for this 1 small tree that of course my ball was right behind. I still got a chip to the green but not at the flag and had to go over a bunker turning a great birdie hole into a par.

It happens.

lol... the guys you played with probably would give their first born to trade scores with you
