Mid to late September thru Thanksgiving tends to be ideal golf weather in GA so I expect to log several more rounds but YTD I was reflecting on my season thus far (28+ rounds).
My best hole...kind of lucky, but it counted. Par 4 18th, home course. This is one of the tougher par 4 holes you will play...420 yds, but plays uphill so actual is closer to 430-435. I hit into the fairway bunker on the left....still 200+ away with the ball sitting down a little, maybe 20% of the ball in the sand
I'm basically conceding that I'm not going to get there so while the group ahead was still on the green I go ahead and hit my 3h not thinking I'm going to get near the green....well I did. Flushed it somehow and it landed about 20 yds short but rolled up on the green. After driving up and apologizing for hitting into them, the guys said no problem, great shot from that bunker. Now about 35' down hill breaking right to left...I drop the putt for birdie! I'm been playing this course for nearly 20 yrs...I can count on one hand how many birdies I've seen on 18 much less me making birdie.
The worst...same course #8, driveable par 4...plays 270-275 most of the time...250ish to the front...with a 2 shot lead...I drive the green (actually about 2' short), but putting from off the fringe...from that position I putt it off the green, chipped back on and 3 putted for a 6. Not the worse score I've posted, but that was the worst hole I've played all season.
Any notables for you?
