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.
