Money List Winner
I played on Sunday, had a chance of getting past 36 points, messed up the last 2, but came in on 36 exact.
I played today, and my game took on curious similarities to Sunday's. At first, I thought it was nothing, but as the game went on the Twilight zone music started getting stronger.
4 over after 9. 9 over after the 16th. One of each (par and bogey) on the last two to play to 10.
Luckily, this time I did better on the par 3 17th with a GIR 3 and stepped onto the last. I hit an identical tee shot (horrible thin runner) and had 155 over the water, over a tree short of the green. This time I just made sure I got over the water (which I didn't on Sunday), pitched on and 2 putted. So, I played to 10. Not bad for an average day's hitting, chipping and putting.
What's odd though is that these holes were almost identical.
1 2 4 6 9 10 11 12 14 15. Drives in the same places, same irons into the greens, same "misses" left/right/short/long, similar putts and similar outcomes.
I even took my stance over divots (repaired) from 3 days ago. I even hit an 8 iron on one hole, pull-hooked it left into the cabbage less than one yard from where I hit it before. This time I pitched it past the pin (not falling for that again!) but still 2 putted for bogey.
Questions....
1) should I book myself into the looney bin?
2) anyone had this before? (10 holes seems rather too many)
3) should I try to NOT visit these areas next time?
Really odd. I'm freaked out.
The only good news is that it was witnessed by a fellow forumer......he played well, winning by a shot (nett) but losing by a shot (gross).
Oh, and we were out there 2 hours 37 minutes.....not bad for 18.
