Season 4, Tournament 2: Blaming inter alia March Madness

OMG!  Coming off the fun and levity of an 84 (with a 10 on Hole 1) in last weekend’s 2 day 18 hole per day Regional Tournament, today was a horrible, whiny, angry 9-hole 49 (with a 10 on Hole 8).

I’m blaming it on no Friday practice and a late night.  Rob blamed it on ‘nothing going his way’, ‘inconsistent greens’, ‘we forgot his GPS watch at home’ and all he could think about was his ‘March Madness bracket’……..

The thing is, there is no point assigning blame on a golf course.  When all is said and done it is the golfer, the course and a ball.  In the immortal words of Bobby Jones : Golf is the closest game to the game we call life.  You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the ball where it lies.

This Hole 8 (view from the green) gave P a LOT of trouble – from the forest in the right of the picture to the water !
