First Pole-ie of the Year?
 
It was my pleasure to play golf today with forum member and new friend, ColtsFan. During the round I had a pole-ie from 110 with a wedge. The shot wasn't great - a little thin - but it was online and the flag stopped my ball and gave me a birdie chance and easy two putt.

Is this the first of the year? How about you southerners?

3 Weeks Ago
 
I was playing the ninth on the Star nine at Santa Ana GC in Bernalillo, NM about 3 weeks ago. I was about 105 out or so and hit a choked down PW. It hit the flag about 2/3 of the way down... and ricocheted about 50' away. :sad2: Three putts later, a solid six (YES!!! - :BangHead: ). Shot a 78 and was seriously POed. :mad:

I feel your pain. It was my first 'real' round of the year, and other than a short 3 hole stretch late in my round, I was a mess on the greens. I think I had 4 three putts and my chipping wasn't much better...:crybaby: :wall: Off to the scoring zone forum....

Steph,

Per Post #2 here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=5470, with that double bogey six, you scored a 'hawk'. And your approach shot was 'hawkish'.

Where else but LBG?

Nay, nay; Just a Bogie
 
It was a par 5. I had high expectations of a birdie. In some ways I was lucky. The ball went left. If it had come right back at me it would have been very wet.

:oops: Okay, okay . . . I stand corrected.

Nevertheless, the definition holds:

hawk n. A poor score of any magnitude resulting from a shot hit just too straight for the player's own good.

Now I know why the Hawk aimed for 6 foot uphillers, the damn pin can get in the way of holing out. Makes you wonder why he didn't have his caddy tend the flag when playing approach shots.

Agreed

:crybaby:
The "hawk" certainly qualifies since my intended score was a birdie. The mantra for par 5s is, "Must birdie par 5s, MUST birdie par 5s!!!".:lol: If only a mantra could make it happen...
