I played in the Charlie Vettiner Open in Louisville this weekend. It was 2 rounds of 27, first round Saturday afternoon, second round Sunday morning.
So I play the first round, shoot a 96, and am 3 throws off the lead in 2nd place. I didn't have one of those rounds where I felt like I was just getting lucky. I was playing at or below my potential. Needless to say, after the round I was thrilled about being in the position I was in.
And then Sunday happened. Maybe it was waking up early after sleeping in an unknown hotel bed. Maybe it was the sporadic rainfall and generally gross conditions. I'm not sure what happened, but it is nothing like I expected to ever happen.
I added 25 strokes to my score and wound up falling from 2nd place to a dismal 22nd place finish. I counted up 10 circles on my card, including 3 on one hole. Nothing worked for me. I was pushing my Forehands over and into the ground. I was griplocking my BH and sailing 350' out of bounds, nowhere near my destination. I was missing easy putts, and putting myself in horrible positions because of rollaways and sailors. By the end of the round, I was walking up to 10' putts like I was walking up to a 50'. My confidence was gone, my nerves were shot and I was ready to toss my bag into the Ohio River.
What has your biggest blowup & meltdown been like? Is there anyone who can relate to my horrible round?
