I've been playing this game a long time.......I can't remember half the silly things I've done with a golf club in my hand, but here are a couple that come to mind that I'm sure I've mentioned here be

Just last week, 183 yard par 3 I hit my tee shot about 12' away, here I'm feeling petty good about my birdie chances so whem I finally get to hit my putt I semi forget or misjudged the speed of the downslope and knock it by 4'-5', I still feel ok with the comebacker but then miss it low, somehow someway I just didn't take my time I just tap it towards the hole not paying close enough attention and then lip out and the ball rolls 3'-4' past the hole, now I'm just simply pissed off by now but still have no gimmee either, I leave the 4th putt short on the lip I'm just devastated how on earth does someone with a good look at birdie leave with a triple just amazing is all I can say, the only silver lining if you want to call it that is I don't have to post higher than a double but this round was never going to count for anything but a throw away by that time anyways so no real big deal.

I'm sure glad I started this thread, because I just had another moment yesterday.

So at my driving range, the little sections are covered by a metal awning-type thing to add some shade. I was out there yesterday and was using my 4 iron to get some more practice. My first few shots were fine, maybe a little to far to the right but I wasn't concerned. Then out of nowhere, I loaded up to swing and went at the ball at some weird angle that it shot straight up in front of me and smashed into the metal awning above me. This was a loud ass noise I'll tell ya. Everyone on the range started looking at me, and needless to say I packed up my clubs and went over the putting greens in disgrace.

We must harness the crystiles.

Playing a 180 yard par 3, I hit a really good shot that hits the flag stick and bounces off the green very close to the lake next to the green.  While driving the cart next to the lake to find my ball, I am not paying attention and cursing my bad luck when I drive under a guy wire for a telephone pole and completely rip the roof of my golf cart.

That trap is technically ground under repair.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious.

Something similar but not golf related happened to my family years ago.  My parents bought my siblings and I a used but mint Honda 3-wheeler (model 80 or 90, very small machine) to tear around on.  One of my cousins came by to visit and asked if he could take it for a spin.  We said sure so he took off and came back after 10 or 15 minutes, chatted with us for a few minutes and then left with his dad.  Several minutes after that a neighbor lady down the road called and asked if he was OK (she knew both our families).  We were like what do you mean OK?  She explained how she saw him fly down into a ditch and snag the handle bar on a guy wire which sent him flying over the front of the machine.  We just kinda laughed and said no he didn't even mention it actually.  But when we went and looked closer at the machine there was a huge dent in the side of the gas tank from where the steering column slammed into it.

Anyway, great machines-- total death traps but absolute fun.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
