I am a 12 handicap. My weakness is my tee ball. I usually lose or put my tee shot into a unplayable location 2-3 three times a round resulting in 5-6 extra strokes.
So I could potentially be a single digit handicap if I could keep tee shots in play. My usual miss is a slice.
This weekend I am playing in our clubs first "tournament" of the year, the Men's Invitational qualifier. I am paired with two guys I have only played with one years ago. I am playing very well as I am 3 over on the front nine. I birdie #10. 2 over at this point, I then proceed to go bogey, quadruple, quintuple on 12,13,14.
The two guys I am playing with were thinking I am the most sandy SOB they have ever seen prior to that.
We are standing on the tee to 15 and one of them mention "there is that 12 handicap".
Long story short I still shot a 88 and qualified to get into the invitational.
11 dead pull left BOGEY
12 slice right that should have easily been found but it must have hit a rock and took off. QUADRUPLE
13 slice into un unplayable location that I tried to hit out of and ended up in a worse spot that was actually unplayable. QUINTUPLE
