Why Am I So Good At Golf?

Because I can shoot a 108 on any given day. Below is my score from a round at Empire Lakes last week. Before I go into details, I have to give a shout out to my boy Kevin Na who we see on the Empire Lakes driving range every time we play there. I don't actually know him...in fact, I hate him because he has a silky swing and I don't.
Ok, first off, I just want to say that last weekend's round was EXTREMELY windy. There were 50 mph gusts blowing the entire round. Secondly, I just want to point out the 14 on the scorecard below (11th hole). That's nine over. NINE. And the funny thing is that the wind had no effect on this hole. I was actually happy that I got into a greenside bunker in three strokes on this long 576 yard par-5. From there it was a disaster...
4.) Blast bunker shot 60 yards over green
5.) Chunk flop shot
6.) Chunk second flop into weeds
7.) Drop
8.) Pitch over green back to the front under a bush
9.) Drop
10.) Pitch ball into bunker
11.) Bunker shot onto green
12.) Putt
13.) Putt
14.) Putt
That, my friend, is the anatomy of a 9-over on a single hole. My previous personal best on a single hole was an 8-over on a par-3 during the Long Beach City Championships. That was actually more embarrassing because I was playing with really good players.
