OK. This might explain why after 1 day short of a Year on WGT. I have never seen the alligators that I know exist on the Kiawah course. The Monster ate them all. I just finished a Ready Go All 18. The front 9 was Fine. Picked up 5 easy birds. Now it should be easy to grab 3, 4 or even 5 more on the back. Right? Not the case! My approach shots were all over the place. I am going to attempt to attach a replay showing this. Here is the scenario. Conditions: Moderate Winds - Fast Greens - Tourney Tee's
Hole Number 12 Middle of the Fairway. Perfect Lie
187 yards out. Default target aim on the pin and or cup. Never moved it! Pulled my Ping Rapture V2 3 Iron out my bag. This club is good for 190 yards. The wind is 8 mph right at me. switching slightly left a couple of degrees. So standing over my GI-SD ball in good condition. (Still white). I apply 1/2 back spin to the ball. To help it check up at 190 yards. Then I draw the club back to 98% of the swing radius and let her go. Bam! Ding! spin spin spin Excellent! And I look up to see my ball heading straight at the right edge of the little white house - way out in the distance. Straight on a string. Just as it reaches the highest point of its trajectory. It begins to roll over into a draw. Just as I expected. How ever. The peak of little whit house's gable is 20 feet or 5 yards left of the flag stick. Where's this ball going? It lands the green and low & behold comes to rest at exactly 190 Yards in distance. Just as I wanted it to. Yeah! Except why am I 20 feet right of the flag? 12 may be on a bad day! But 20? Now close your eyes and imagine taking the perfect swing at a ball into a wind that should have little if any effect on the direction of flight. And know that you hit the perfect distance. Now open them and see your ball trying to ditch in the drink. I don't think this is a Bug at all. This is the Kiawah Monster! The One that has eaten all of the alligators and now feeds on WGT golf balls. Let me tell you he was really hungry today. I rang every bell, hit every green in regulation. And 13.4 feet from the cup was as close as he would allow me to get my ball on the back 9
Food for thought. Look at my avatars feet. His set up is exactly at the friggin house. Things that make you say hmm?
I want my friggin buck back too!
enough said. Wish me luck on the link to the replay.
Thanks,
