So there I am, Sunday morning, it's cold but sunny, a great day for golf. The course was empty, as it had rained cats & dogs all day Saturday.
I'm on the 12th tee, and my round is not going great. I've made a couple of sixes, a four on the par-3 10th, and I took a penalty shot on the 8th because my ball disappeared into a waste area as I was overagressive with my drive.
I hit my first shot and it's striped-straight down the fairway an looong. I have maybe 160 to the pin, and, like many amateurs, I don't take enough club, and my shot is short of the green by like 30 feet.
I grab my lob wedge, and I really line up the shot. I hit the shot a little thin and I'm thinking, "Oh crap, here comes another 5". The ball is a slow line-drive, it hits the green and starts rolling. It's getting close to the hole, and I think, "Wow, I may be able to salvage an ugly par!"
But the ball roooolls...and doink! it disappears into the bottom of the cup! I go from hoping for par to chipping in for birdie from 30-feet!
I went on to shoot 2 OVER PAR for the rest of the course!
You know, it's shots like that chip-in that keep me coming back round after round, even when I'm struggling! What a game!
