Golf Random Irritations

[Patster1969]

On the 4th tee yesterday, the four-ball in front have spotted us and they stand to the side to wave us through. But they stand over on the right hand side, in the exact spot where my ball will go if I slice it again. So I think "bloody hell, better not slice this one" and promptly hit a massive hook (which is very rare for me) about 60 yards left which lands straight on the 7th green. With the group in front of us still waiting for us to play through, I now have to hit back onto the correct hole, but the group that are playing the 7th are looking for a ball in the rough, so I'm waiting for them to be done with that so I don't have to hit over their heads. By the time I get to the (correct) green I feel like I've been playing this hole for half an hour while being watched the whole time - and of course rush my three foot bogey putt and pull it an inch left of the hole. Terrific.

Forget the high driver draw or flop shot to a tight pin, the hardest shot in golf is the shot when you have been called through by the group in front
