  1. My most memorable (not best) golf moment is actually my unluckiest hole ever. It was a par 5 eighteenth hole with a 20 man skins game. Which we found out later would have been the only skin of the day with just a par. That never happens on a par 5 as there are several low single digit handicap players. Birdies seldom win on par 5’s. As for me, I very seldom win a skin because I only get a few birdies a round. I’m the guy they take because I’m pretty much a donator. Well, I bombed my drive and was about 30 yards past everyone. Believe me that never happens. (You know how sometimes when you pull it, you crush it.) Unfortunately, that pull left me in the left rough but worse than that there was an outcrop of trees that stuck out between the green and I. No way to punch out or hook around it as I would actually have had to punch backwards about 30 yards which would leave me no chance to get on in 3. When we got down there I couldn’t believe it, but there was about a 10 foot in diameter opening right in line with the green through those trees about 230 out. If I hit it it perfectly I could get to the green or very close. I had no choice. I lined up, swung and with perfect contact my ball screamed right through the middle of that opening. My buddy yelled, “you crushed that”. Mind you it was a beautiful day without even a small breeze. As I watched my ball flying right through the middle of that circular opening out of nowhere a branch falls from above and hits my ball in midair. I just stood there mouth agape staring at my buddies as they all stared back at me in disbelief. Of course, the silence didn’t last long as naturally they all started laughing hysterically. I may not have birdied or parred the hole for the skin but my short game is my strength if I have one. Obviously, I didn’t win the skins and I am reminded of that shot almost every round or get together since then. They make it the most memorable.
  2. What a great sweepstakes since he is going to win the Championship.
