Biggest meltdown?

[Toad]

In a medal I was level par and on the 18th in 2, proceed to 4 putt from 20 feet, haven't 4 putted since I first took up the game. Not so much a meltdown I know but did feel like it.
Many many times I've been level at the turn only to just scrape buffer or get a .1 back.

Out in 29 back in 39

5 under my handicap stood on the 18th tee, par 5, in a greenside bunker in two, walked off the green 5 over my handicap.

But I never think about it.

I once had a complete dose of the shanks and only scored 11 points in a comp. Even that was down to good chipping and putting when I hadn't already lost my ball!

 

[JohnnyDee]

Walked off our 16th green 2 years ago one over gross playing off 13 and having the round of my life in a club match.

Finished 8 (par 3) 6 (par 4)

Last years end of season trophy winners championship, playing off 14, was 5 under my handicap after 15 holes, then went treble, double to be 1 under handicap on the 18th tee.

pulled two balls into the woods, found neither, so nr'd on 18. Net 2 over wine the comp.

have a chance to redeem myself in a playoff for this years trophy winners championship on Sunday...........watch this space.

I'm more impressed that your Autocorrect changes 'won' to 'wine' and I think we all know the reason now.

After a fairly good round in a medal up to the 14th hole, and a good drive on the 15th, I then shanked 4 balls in a row over the out of bounds fence on the right. That became a No Return!

Most recent meltdown was in the Club Champs at Bearwood Lakes. Off the black tees, made it to the halfway hut level par gross. 2 birdies, 2 bogeys, rest pars. Had a 10 minute break there, no choice really as other groups ahead, then had a disaster on the back 9. A lot more shots.

Had a similar incident in a Nike Amateur golf event at BL. -2 at the halfway, stopped, threw up the back 9.

I guess that is what happens when you have a swing which has a very narrow tolerance. Need to keep it going.

Out in 29 back in 39

That still only adds up to 68! Was this on a Pitch and Putt course, or are you a +6 handicapper? :mmm:

Out in 37, back in 50

3 over par on my home course. After the front 9 I thought I had a shout at the course record.

Very early on in my golfing "career" I stood on the 16th with a bucket of points and didn't score on any of the last 3. I learnt a lot from that day and had so e of my finest moments over the last 3 holes after that.

 

[road2ruin]

40 points standing on the 16th tee.......40 points signing my card on the 18th green.....

 

[jamielaing]

I feel better knowing I am not alone! Misery loves company and all that!

 

[FairwayDodger]

Hardest part of my home course is the first seven holes. 17 and 18 can also wreck a card but, I always think I can score well if I get through the first 7 in reasonable shape.

Couple of years ago I stood on the 8th tee 3 under par scratch and started to think about how much I was going to shatter my handicap by. Needless to say I went on a run of bogeys for about six or seven holes through some pretty easy holes before my next par. Still managed a (small) handicap cut IIRC but learned a valuable lesson about staying in the moment!

 

[Jon321]

Mine was probably Sunday. Standing on the 15th tee at +4. Walked off 18 at +13. And one of those last 4 holes was a par.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

+6 for the last three holes twice when in contention for two consecutive comps. Played the front nine in 39 and the back in 52. No idea what happened.

 

[Bratty]

Oooooooo I bet you swore! :lol:

I most certainly did, Chris! Didn't take long either... a 10 on the 10th saw the language start flowing nicely!

Played in a medal 3 years ago with a5 h/c and a 9 h/c(both really nice guys)I was off 20 at the time.Standing on the 10th tee at 2 over par GROSS.5 h/capper is asking where I got my handicap.
Started to get ideas over and above my pay station and started to try to force the ball further rather than just following the 5 h/cappers swing(which was so slow and easy).The result was a grade one meltdown as I tried to go back to swinging nice and slowly(so slowly that I started shanking---even putts!)
After the round the two guys were gracious even to say that they found it painful to watch and that they felt for me...having a nervous breakdown in front of them!!
I've never came close to that level again in a medal since!!!
