Just could NOT make solid contact yesterday... I was coming over the top and everything was either off the toe or yanked left. In our 2-man 9 hole scramble game in the morning I damn near whiffed on a couple shots - barely scraped the ball with the toe of the club. Fortunately my partner kept us in the fairway and I made 8 of 9 putts. We ended up at -2 just out of the money... only 2 GIRs.
Went back out for 9 more and the over the top woes continued... considered quitting but decided to just grind it out and play the game I brought to the course. Lined up my tee shots hard right, grabbed 5i to minimize trouble and scooted a little closer to the ball to take the off-the-toe out of play. I kept yanking them left but kept the ball mostly out of trouble and relied on my short game to save the day.
Ended up shooting 40 with a double, 3 bogeys and 5 pars. Really pleased with that score given how terribly I was striking the ball.
Anyone else have any Grit Your Teeth and Get Thru It stories? What do you do to persevere when golf is kicking you while you’re down?
