Well, I managed to win the club championship at the little SCGA affiliate club I am a member of. It was a 3-day event starting Friday played at 3 different courses. The club has about 6 or 7 mid-single digit players that typically vie for low gross. This year I managed to play least worst the final two days to win by 3 @ 239. I did back into the win however (a little). Oh, one more thing, I did not take advantage of the guys and "play up". All A-flighters, including myself, played the same tees (6750, 6500, 6300).
The leader by 4 going into the final round had a horrible last day. His chipping was the worst I have seen by a good player. Another guy, who was one stroke back of me, also had a bad day. I played an abysmal front 9 missing every green and shooting a 45. I did, however, come home in style shooting an even par 36 with a birdie-birdie finish to clinch the win. I also hit a 9I over the pin on the 123 yard 17th to about 3' and watched it suck back to a foot before stopping. I thought I had a holey!
The final round key: chipping with extensor action and a bent right wrist. I got up and down for par 6 times with chips to inside of 3'. I missed one putt of 2' for par as well (don't ask) on another nice chip. It validates, once again, joining this forum and participating in the SoCal LBG school last year.
