The Beginning Golfer Chips Into the Hole From 50 Yards

out of the rough on the wrong side of a bunker

I wasn’t going to write this. I really wasn’t – but seriously.

I have the highest handicap at my club. (So you know I have to be humble).

In fact I have often thought over the last few years that having the highest handicap is a distinction (of sorts).

I am not a good golfer

I am just trying hard.

This is for all of the beginning golfers out there. This is what keeps us coming back. The good shot.

It can happen to you.

And don’t let those snobby good golfers get you down. We are nipping at their heels!

-ps. several holes later the golf pro pulled up in his golf cart, probably checking out the pace of play, just in time to watch me laboring away at my steep walled bunker shot. It wasn’t pretty. I did get out but it took three tries.
