Dammit, dammit, dammit . . . my play on the par 5s cost me a win here . . .
It’s always sumthin’, I know that . . . .
Had 3 straight missed, makeable birdies on the front nine, holes 6-7-8 . . .
Missed enough birdies on these holes that that doesn’t bother me . .
Aha! Missed birdies are a GOOD thing!
Parred #10, and birdied #11 from 24 ft, first time to birdie #2/11 . . .
The longest birdie putt I had for sure that day . . .
Wasn’t over-confident, but feelin’ good for sure . . .
Then had 5 lip-out / burned edges from less than 6ft over the next 7 holes . . .
If they go in, I have the great round . . .
If they lip out on the front nine, I don’t even break 30 stableford points . . . 8^D
I always say that lip-outs are good thing, but these were breaking my heart . . .8^D
If only for not the par 5s . . . I still had 19-19=38 stableford points, but for the lip-outs, I couldn’t move up the leader board.
