The Worst Shots In Golf

I was in meetings most of today. Lawyer. Investors. Site selection (finding a building/location). All very productive, including my workout first thing this morning.

Tired this evening. I’ve been staying up too late, reading. Lights out a little earlier this evening.

I thought the golfers reading may enjoy this. We’re all fallible, including the pros. This is an excerpt from an article titled The Worst Shots in Golf. The full article is available here.

From The Worst Shots in Golf:
Sandy Lyle, 1985 Open, Royal St Georges, 18th hole. Unusually in this selection, the man concerned still went on to win but it was a close run thing. Having started the final day of the 85 Open three shots adrift, Britain’s favourite golfing son gradually hauled himself back into contention and it looked as if a par up the 18th would be good enough for victory. But then Lyle’s approach found Duncan’s Hollow, a dangerous dip in the ground to the left of the green and the flagstick was perched just over a small rise. To get it close would need a delicate touch and at his first attempt Sandy had the touch of a donkey wearing boxing gloves. The ball came right back to his feet. But unknown to him at the time, immediately behind on the 17th, Bernhard Langer and David Graham were also making bogey, so Sandy’s second chip and a putt were good enough. Just. Stone me, said Sandy. Screw you, said Langer and Graham.
