Arrive at the course in plenty of time yesterday, had a couple of fags in the sun enjoying a nice hot chocolate waiting for our tee time.

Hit a few in the net, ready for a great day of golf in a polo shirt and no jumper!

Step up to the first tee, hit my drive 250, second shot straight on the green about 5ft from pin. Great start for the SI 8.

I go on a nice long walk to the trolley boundary, ready for a nice birdie putt and a cheeky 5 points. No putter. Bollocks.

I had left my putter in my bedroom practising the night before. Great. :rofl:

Ended up up borrowing my PPs putter (just a round not a comp) and three putting for bogey.

it just completely threw me off for the rest of the day. Sliced my drives, chunked nearly all my fairway shots, hit fairway bunkers and gave up on the 15th. It didn't help that we waited a good ten minutes or more on every tee and it took an hour and a half to play 6 holes.

Was a shadow of the man that hit 39 points at the same course just a week before. :(
 
Its hard to build up the mental resilience without making errors like this.

Now you have been through this you know better how to deal with similar situations on the course in the future, or even any other time which your game is affected by a silly mistake pre round.

Welcome to golf and by the way you're a numpty! :thup: Slow play can be hard to deal with and I can understand how no putter would throw you
 
Did this once myself and as it was a comp I had to putt Adam Scott stylee with my driver. Thankfully it was foursomes so didn't have too many clutches to make and we'd did alright. But did feel like a total numpty.
