Ten Worst Shots in Golf

1. Baker Finch hits building on 18 from #1 tee on Old Course.
2.Norman almost hits auto on display in middle of lake on 18th at Doral,with a 7 iron!
3.Norman power shanks 4 iron 2nd shot on 18th in 1986 Masters deep into gallery to lose Masters.
3. Seve hits a drop kick duck hook 4 iron on 15 in 1986 Masters,to lose same Masters
4.Davis Love 3 whacks 20ft putt to lose US Open. Left 2 putts short.
5.Norman hits driver putting fairway trap into play in sudden death at Troon. Norman loses again.
6. Phils power shank drive on #18 2006 Open at Winged Foot..
7.Anytime Weiskopf played #12 at Augusta.
8. Me,Texas State Am. Stonebridge Dye,1990. Tried to hit a 3 iron 3 times on #12,a 220 par 3 over water with a 30 mph sideways wind. One putted for 13 and then parred out for 92. Never hit a 3 iron over 200yds in my life,so I have no idea what I was trying to do.
9.Numerous Norman shots the day he laid down and let Faldo run him over.
10. Me again, Back to School Tourney,1969. Someone told me on 18th tee, a 185yd uphill 3 that I had a 2 shot lead. With a gallery behind green,car lot to the right,shaking like a dog,I opted for a hard duck hook into the junk yard that bordered the left side. Punch out, 3 putt to miss playoff by 1 shot. Cried on way home,then got drunk.

What a Way to Start the New Year


We all hope to make a bingo in every scrabble game,nothing is better than the expression on your opponents face,especially if said opponent is your wife,when you lay all 7 down. When I saw my first set of tiles,I knew immediately I had at least one word. I played STIFFED. Boom! In the next set of tiles I decided to keep the letters N G,in hopes of playing off the I in STIFFED or maybe picking up another I. Then on my third turn I play PREENING. Boom another Bingo. My total of 367 was low for having 2 bingos but what can you do. First play in a long time. Too long. One other nice play was V-ANS,that picked AXE and JOBS.
