The worst shot of my golf career

I played golf on Sunday and might’ve hit the worst golf shot in my short 3 year golf career. On 18 at Presidio, I was about 180 away and in between clubs. I was tired and didn’t want to chunk my shot like I had been on the back 9 so I took the higher club and decided to swing harder. I thought last hole, what the hell.

I overdid things and ended up cranking a high drawing… okay high hooking shot straight onto the cart path. The ball bounced on the pavement and flew up right over a large group of people by the club house taking a photo after some sort of event.

I narrowly missed the group of ~25 as the ball bounced short and flew right over them and the clubhouse. Luckily no one was hurt except my ego and my confidence on the golf course. I was very quick to get to the parking lot and get out of there.

It was a culmination of a terrible weekend of golf. My swing is in complete ruin right now as I tried to make some major changes last week. I rushed things and didn’t get enough practice nor instruction to make things work. Instead of playing some rounds, I should’ve been at the range some more.

In golf as in a lot of things in life, you need to go backwards before you can move forward. I’ve been delaying the inevitable with small patches of fixes here or there, but it’s about time I take a step back and reconstruct my swing the right way. That’s going to require a lot of time.
