Sluggo42 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Coming back after surgery reminded me of how I've always got an excuse for not shooting scratch. My excuse today is I'm returning from a 3-month layoff. I remember another time when my hip hurt oddly. Or another time when they punched the fairways. What's your excuse for crappy play today?

mizuno_lover Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 My excuse was when I was playing our course card wrecking hole I lost focus and made triple, then on the next hole we got called through by two older choppers who were looking for a lost ball about 50 metres down in the left bush and it is golf lore that you never play well on the hole where you get called through on so I tripled that one as well and then went birdie par to finish the nine 5 over.

I seem to have absolutely forgotten how to hit a golf ball. The 3 rounds prior to this morning were 77,79,81. This morning's round was 94! I couldn't hit the driver or the irons. The only thing that worked was chipping. I couldn't even make foot and a half putts for par. It was an absolute catastrophe of a round. I haven't played that poorly in years! I have no answer for how or why. So, I guess I really don't have an excuse other than, today I sucked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
