The Agony and Ecstacy of Golf

Played our Super Seniors (70+) tourney yesterday. The field down here is full of ex-pros and amateurs that played at a very high level.
It was an 18 hole tourney, and I finished 2nd in the tourney, but here is the real story. I was 7-under after 13. I made 8 birdies on the first 13 holes and had one 3-putt bogey. On #14 I hit too much club off the tee on a dogleg hole and put myself in jail. It took me 2 shots to get into a greenside bunker. I splashed onto the green, but then 3-putted for a triple. I bounced back with a birdie on 15, but made a bogey on 17. I finished 1 shot off of the pace and was 2 clear of 3rd.
I hit 15 greens, had 9 one-putt birdies, and lost. Overall, I am thrilled with the result and how I played, but that slow-motion trainwreck on #14 is going to leave a mark for a while.
Golf... sigh...

You're about to tell me Trump won your club championship by 10 strokes aren't you.

Was it a matter of making bad club/shot selections? Or just not executing?

It was a combo of bad club selection with poor execution. I should have hit a 5 or 6 iron off of the tee. I thought I would turn my 5-wood a bit and set myself up for a short wedge. I blocked the 5-wood into the edge of the woods. I had no shot towards the green, so I played back to the fairway. Problem was that I hit some hanging Spanish moss and dropped into heavy bermuda rough and still had no shot to the green. Sand trap, 3-putt, 7.

My last 3 rounds have been Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde. Front 9 last 3 rounds were +9, +8, +11. Back 9 scores have been Even, +3, -1. No clue how I get out of this rut and get the front 9 in line. But it's brutal. Hole 1 has been my nemisis and I've played 3 different courses. Just flat not striking the ball efficiently out of the gate.

-7 thru 13 is amazing. Had you ever gone that deep before?

Yes. I have a few course records on the resume. 61 is my lowest round. This was the best I had played since I shot a 66 5 years ago.
FWIW, I shanked twice into lakes today and recorded 3 doubles on my way to an 80. Back to the drawing board after thinking I had sorted a few things out.

You should post picture of your scorecard on here, we would love to see it.
That's some strong shooting.

Went to the range yesterday and was flushing everything, lag felt great .
Came home and told my so it was my best day at the range in years.
Played today and played like shite, I’m so damned frustrated.
I know I over swing on the course just can’t stop
Bang head
