Oops I did it again.. again!

[louise_a]

When will I ever learn not once but twice in the past I have accidently marked my ball on the fringe, surely I would have learned my lesson, but not, 3rd shot to par 3 17th finished in the fringe, the green is in a bowl so you leave you bag at the top and go down with just your putter, so down I went , marker of clip and marked the ball, didn't even think about it until I was waiting for someone to plaay their shot and thought, whose is that mark on the fringe? then oh no its mine, I felt so stupid.

It was just a natural thing I do on that hole, I just need to make sure my ball is actually on the green! Sadly one of the other times I have done it was also on this hole.

Anyway I took my penalty and walked off with a bogey. It was a 4BBB and we won it with 41 points but 42 would have been better.

Go off and write 100 lines!

If it was your 3rd shot to a par 3 how did you bogey it?

 

[North Mimms]

I feel your pain. I've this twice during Club trophy comps. (Still managed to win one of them!)

My trick is to actually put my hand behind my back or in my pocket to stop me marking the ball

This. Idiot.

Looks like a par 5 on the course map on her website!

Yea must be. The par 3 musta been a typo. All good

 

[louise_a]

.....and again

In the Lancs senior ladies championship, in my defence this time, we are on preferred lies at home so used to marking on the fringe

 

[Orikoru]

I have never done this, I'm not even sure how you would do it. But then again I pretty much only mark my ball when it's on or near someone's line.

 

[IanM]

I think it understandable when you first come out of "preferred lies".... sort of,

once?

or twice?

...and if you haven't fessed up on the forum...

Yes I have done it again, why on earth am I unable to remember such a simple thing.

It may be that I duffed a chip which I would have expected to be on the green and so marked it as if it was. I really do seem incapable of not doing this.

Put your ball marker somewhere really inaccessible!

I totally understand how that can happen. We've been on preferred lies for so long this year, that I really have to remind myself every time that I cannot pick my ball up from the fairway and clean it or tee it up on a nice bushel of grass any more. It had become such a natural thing to do.
