>>Adrian, that's the Murphian force you are referring to. You know, the cause of Murphy's Law.
Speaking of which, do you notice that whenever you have good shots on a hole, you chip and/or putt badly? I seem to always three-putt when I could easily get a par if I two-putted.

Tell me about it! I had a sweet shot off the tee on the 9th, right up the fairway 2/3's of the way to the green on a par 4. Walking up the ball for my 2nd shot all I could think about was the possible birdie or at least the par that was waiting for me.Originally Posted by JaWiB
That's when I smacked it left into the bunker and, on my first shot out of the bunker, hit low, smacked the rough and bounced back into the bunker. And that was just the beginning of it....
What was supposed to be at least a par, turned into 3 over!

Tonight, we're going to try something different to just have fun. Thursdays tend to be less crowded at our club. So, we're going to play 18 holes with the kids (9 and 11 years old).
We want to just have fun and play a round with worrying about what we score. So, we're going to "round-robbin" each hole.
For instance, I'll tee off on the first hole. Then my wife will take the 2nd shot. My daughter will take the 3rd, and my son will take the 4th. We'll rotate like this until the ball is holed.
Then on the 2nd hole, my wife will tee off, and I'll move to taking the 4th spot in the rotation. And we'll rotate like that, so that by the 5th hole, I'll be back to teeing off.
It'll be a new experiment for us, but hopefully it'll be fun. And it will allow the kids to play without getting upset for having such high scores.
