G’day David,
I play quite a lot of golf and I quite often say “My Ego exceeded my ability”.
A few days ago I attempted to play ‘one of those shots’ and very nearly got away with it. Who left that branch hanging down? Yes, I could have chipped out sideways, I just decided I could go past the left of the tree and get over the bushes further up. There was risk and reward, pull the shot off, on the par 5 for three or, chip out and accept having to make a really good pitch shot. I ended up with a nett 78 and still collected off many of my side bets.
It’s only a game and we do this for fun. If I have a dud score at least I make the people collecting off me happy.
