ive played a wrong ball before. very annoying

 

[Ian_S]

Missed a two-footer

Tried to hit 200 yards over water out of the rough because I was chasing a par

Thought 'to hell with it' up the last as I had 36 pts already so taking on a stupid shot wasn't going to hurt

Actually, getting 36 pts when I'm that brainless is probably quite an achievement.

I had a first yesterday!

Scored on every hole of the back 9; 17 points 4*3pters, 5*1pters! 0 2pters! Front 9 wasn't as good though!

Guarantee you won't do it again...I did it in a comp once and was told by one of our senior members. " you've got the whole world to take a practice swing and you do it an inch next to your ball, no sympathy" he was right and I haven't done it since

Ha, oddly I did the same thing today for the first time!!

A little wedge over a bunker, onto the green. First practice swing, fine. Second practice swing caught the ball and it shot off at 90 degrees into the bushes.

It happened on the 18th, was heaving a nightmare and to be honest summed up my entire round!

This has cajoled me into actually posting (been viewing this forum for about 6 weeks now).

Joined a golf club 1st March. Got my hc and played my first ever comp y'day.

3rd hole, par 3, pulled my tee shot short and left behind some trees...no route to the pin.

Just have to chip out and take my medicine....only chipped into the bunker I totally forgot was there.

walked off with a 7. Never again will I do that. Idiot!

It's karma for taking 2 practice swings!

i missed a couple of putts from a foot today, now that is careless

Never say never! I'm sure you will as most of us have!

Up Dormie 2 in the second round of the club matchplay yesterday playing our 17th, a longish par 4 into a 2 club wind.
As I'm getting a shot I decided to to be sensible and lay up with my second in front of the green as I didn't think I could clear the bunkers into the wind. Then I go and dump my 3rd shot straight in the bunkers and lost the hole. What a doughnut

Fortunately by sinking a lucky long birdie putt on 18 I managed to sneak the win.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Racked up my highest score on our sixth (178 yards). Took 8 including two lost balls and five off the tee. Perfect for a medal round but still hit the buffer

 

[guest100718]

In a medal last weekend I lent over the hole to tap in a 1 footer and tapped it 11.9 inches........I was very close to buffer and if CSS had gone down a shot like it often does I would have got a .1, lucky it didnt in the end.

 

[BoadieBroadus]

done both. although the practice swing was a practice putt. managed to catch the toe of my shoe with the putter which then went off at an angle and knocked the ball.

no one saw it but i did own up and add an extra shot, but technically i think i should have added the shot and replaced the ball.

played a competitors ball before and that was in a 4bbb knockout. so i was costing my partner there as well by taking myself out the hole.

but never in the same round.

I had a first yesterday as well, I played an entire 18 holes without hitting one shot that I can say I was happy with, not a single one.

I played a few holes yesterday, it was a 3+ club wind at times, enough to put any swing off i'd say.

 

[CMAC]

you know that way the pro's have of swishing their practice putt back and forth beside the ball to groove the intended putter swing path?

Did that in a medal while lining up a birdie and looking at the hole........clipped the ball sending it off the green, replaced and added penalty but you could feel the heat from my red face

 

[guest100718]

When I played the wrong ball I promised myslef that would be the 1 and only time I eve did it. I managed it again next round.....

I wish I could blame the wind, I really do but I can't.
