Here's a post for all the folks that think that high hncp are sand-baggers.

Today, in our weekly skins game, I started the round with several 6s or 7s. But then as we played the 7th, I felt like everything was lining up. I finished it with a par from the results of a good, 165yd 3rd shot on this par 5, that left it 15 feet from the hole.

I finished the front with a 50, even though it felt like a 45. So, at the turn, I didn't even calculate my score. I walked up to the 10th tee and smacked a "safe" 250yd drive. Turned out that in the head wind, my drive won the bingo. But as we all faced a 2 club head wind, it was safe to say that big length was a stretch for of us.

And then it happened. The shot that I always hope for, the shot where even a 2 club wind cant stop. This was a 205yd, upwind, 3W, that landed 6 feet from the pin after flying the sand 20 feet from the action. I birdied this hole, and it's the #1hdcp.

The round continued with bogey golf that was from one side of the fairway to the other. But it was bogey golf, none the less. Then on the 15th, it all tightened up. After a good U/D from a 25 ft putt, the 16th was similar, but a bit more left and right. The 17th was a blind downhill 460yd shot. With my best tee shot of the day, I hit it a little right, but it ran down the hill, leaving it 70yds short of the green.

Here's where my new Nike wedges come in. With 4 wedges from P-L, my gap wedge was the one called up. With plenty of downhill lean, my new A wedge sat the ball 4 feet from the hole.

Then, on the 18th, after leaving it short on a 170yd par 3, my chip put the ball 2 feet from the pin.

This was good enough for all the last 4 skins plus our little Bingo-Bango-Bongo game of our foursome.

Today, I shot a 88, and took enough money for the family to have steak dinners.

Awesome post. I love when things align like that! Nice, tidy 38 on the back nine.
