One of my bonehead moves (I feel like a 12 year old) is that in the process of making a practice putting stroke, I accidentally struck my ball and moved it about a foot. Ended up making double on that hole. It's really a wonder I don't do this more often though because I look at the hole while making my practice stroke and sometimes I get a little closer to the ball than I would like to be since I'm not actually looking the ball.
Anyway, I'm in the first flight, so we'll see how it goes tomorrow. Hopefully I can think my way around for a good round and stop doing the stupid stuff.  |
Yeah...
I feel you pain on stupid stuff. I was playing a few holes last night and going along pretty well (3 over through 7) when I 4-putted for a triple bogey. I missed the green into a water hazard, but it was playable. Only I didn't concentrate enough and hit it 15 feet by the hole. Then I was still kicking myself for not leaving myself a short uphill putt that I blew the first putt 12 feet by. Then the meltdown was on...
And it was nothing but pure brain fade. A complete lack of thought about what I was trying to do for two or three strokes.
