How did you manage a quintuple bogey without losing a ball?
Par-5, 508 yards, dogleg right and uphill. Terrain slopes aggressively from right to left for most of fairway. Among other golf faults, I cannot hit a fade.
1. 4-iron off tee for safety -- toed, goes down right side. Blocked by trees from any decent advancing shot. Ball on wicked upslope and bare dirt lie.
2. PW up right side, poor distance because of upslope. Still have some dogleg to negotiate.
3. 6-iron intended to go up right side, draw back into fairway and hopefully not cross it (trees and ravine far left). Hits one of two medium-sized tree branches quite high up, kicks right-er into trees.
4. Punch slightly backward into fairway. Still ~240 yards out.
5. 8-iron up fairway, laying up to SW distance. Shot draws strongly, finishes just in left rough.
6. Lie has ball above feet and on upslope. Previous confrontations of like nature resulted in left weight on back leg, pulled shots. Aim right, play for pull and draw. Neither arrives. Miss green right = short-sided.
7. Chipping bites. Take sweet, sweet Mentorsports putter instead -- club cannot fail to produce good shot. Golfer can, though; I misjudge grassy collar, hammer ball through it, down and across green, and maybe four feet off other side. 20 feet remain.
8. Snake-bitten by the previous, I putt back weakly and leave a 6-foot slider.
9. Miss.
10. Make.
