Better Lucky than Good
We’ve all experienced luck on the course. The sculled iron that somehow nestles up on the green 6 feet from the pin. Or a shot that ricocheted off a tree back into the fairway. Or the always tricky play off the ball washer.
The most incredible piece of luck I witnessed was when a friend hit a slightly errant drive that bounced off a pool cage screen, shot straight up into the air, landed on a cart path and then bounced another hundred yards, coming to rest 80 yards from a par 4 green.
He still bogeyed the hole. But that might have gone viral if I had caught it on video. Better Lucky than Good.
What’s the luckiest shot you’ve experienced or witnessed?
