I find it astonishing that I can limp home with my third consecutive "$100 Dollars In A Fish Bowl 3-Point Shootout" victory on Saturday, but I cannot make a pair of 8-foot par putts to jump start my round on Sunday.
From time to time, I'll go back and play the short but demanding practice golf course at my old Junior College with a group of guys that I know very well.
The weather conditions were perfect, but my course management wasn't. If it wasn't for my short game I could have easily recorded the highest score ever for that course.
Holes 1 through 5 are extremely difficult due to its length and obstructions. My short game was on target as I desperately needed it to dig myself out of numerous holes with all five of my tee shots missing their intended targets.
By the time we reached the 4th Hole... I was not only in last place, but I also found myself battling a severe case of fatigue.
Having to work my a** off to write down a +1 for the round on my scorecard proved to be too much for my body to handle on this day.
Holes 4 and 5 were not much different: Errant tee shots, good iron play and solid putting. I was already out of contention by the time these holes reared its ugly head. But I used those holes to scrape off some rust and to get my juices flowing for next week.
I was dead tired after finally tapping in my fifth consecutive bogey of the round. I could have overextended myself by playing a competitive round of golf after winnng a grueling basketball contest. I'm glad that I lost the way that I did. Next time, I'll take it slow and easy following a draining victory. | |
