I've hit a few howlers, but today's effort at Crail Balcomie takes the biscuit.
Standing on 16th tee, shortish par-3 up the hill; wind slightly against, takes out 7-iron.
Proceeds to hit a missile-like daisy cutter that barely gets 6" off the ground; ball careers into yellow tee marker some 10 yards in front and knocks it clean out of the ground. Meanwhile, ball shoots off at a 90degree left angle straight into the North Sea... didn't even touch land.
Designated OOB, reload and proceed almost to do it again... ball sailed over the tee-marker by about a foot, and got lost in rushes.
Blobbed the hole...unsurprisingly. More annoying as partner had found the front of the green with his tee shot.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Partner and I managed 63 points though between us (Russian Stableford comp).. finished 10th overall behind a 89.
Cracking day out... but that hole will haunt me forever.
