Bigggest choke you’ve made/ witnessed

Ive told this story on here before. When I was trying to break 80 for the first time, I blew a few chances, but none worse than this:

Playing Atchafalaya, I shot a 38 on the front. I parred 10,11,12,13,14 &15. I was laying 2 just left of the wrap around bunker, hole high on 16 (a par 5). I skulled my pitch over the green into the bunker on the opposite side of the green and into a crappy lie amongst some bamboo shoots growing up from the sand. I had a clean look at the back of the ball and the hole was no more than 30 ft though, so instead of taking an unplayable, I tried to hit it out of there and failed. I kept taking swipes and the lie just kept getting worse. I finally got it out and putted in for a 10 on the hole and finished par-bogey for a smooth 80. I still have nightmares about that day.

I've never broken par before and I was -5 through 15 holes and managed to play the last 3 holes at +5 to shoot even par

One time when I was standing on 18 and 1 under par, I drop/kicked my driver and it only went about 175. Bogeyed for even par 72...and I don’t break par much...like once a decade.

I did something almost identical. It fricking sucks

Not really a choke, but I follow up a 35 on the front at copper mill. Doubled numbers 10, 11. And the back was done. Shot 46 on back.

MHD threads.

Yep - I think the more you think about it the worse it gets.

I was an 18Hdcp at the time, and was playing in the new member sponsor tournament.

was 12 over through 17. 100 yards approach on a par 5 to two putt for par. Hit it fat. Duffed the chip. End up double bogey. Still shot an 86, missed the net winner by 1 stroke.

First round in a 2 man scramble tourney, was 3 up with 4 to play, miss a 5 footer to make it all square. thankfully sunk a 25 ft birdie putt on playoff hole to advance

Many years ago when I was in the Air Force stationed in Japan I was playing a Sunday AM with our normal group. I had consumed a bit too much Saturday night and wasn't running at 100%. Some how I managed to shoot E on the front 9 and when I began to fell better I realized I was -1 thru 15. I bogied the last three holes to shoot a 74. Oh, what it could have been.

I was 14, playing in the old Jaycee at Webb, and asked if I could play in the 15-17 age group. Shot 73 to lead the tournament, followed up with a smooth 90 the next day
