Shot 80 (+10), my ALL-TIME BEST round at an amateur golf league tourney held at Forest Park GC yesterday without any range warmups except for putting practice. While I was happy to play really well, the round still left me with a bad after taste knowing that I lost by two strokes in my division and narrowly missed breaking 80 by one stroke that was probably a consequence of a missed 9-foot Birdie (after mishitting a 26-foot Eagle putt) left that led to a disappointing 3-putt Par at the 18th. I was so tired the day before the tourney that I decided not to do any range warmups due to a major calamity at home with basement flooding, water heater replacement and clean-up the day before the tourney. Helping the handyman carry the 165 lb. water heater down the basement stairs was no joke and got a little dicey as well. I didn't have any high expectations, but it turned out to be my best round ever, so go figure, this game will drive u crazy!

I'm glad that you're on your way to a good recovery. I also really appreciate your willingness to share such a painful and obviously embarrassing moment. If I were in your shoes, I would have definitely done the same thing given the circumstances with you leading and having the possibility to redeem yourself. On the other hand, with the consequences that happened, I'm going to take your life experience as a good lesson to learn from if I'm faced with a similar situation in the future.
