.... for a quadruple bogey 8.
No, not me this time
but Damien McGrane in the Volvo Masters, Beijing.
Drives into the water.
Catches his 3rd fat into a fairway bunker.
Striving for distance, leaves 2 in the bunker, getting out with his 6th.
Still short but recovers with the up & down.
Strange mixture of thoughts watching that, sympathy tinged with something else.
A couple of lessons though. Firstly if the pros can do it then perhaps we should not be to hard on ourselves when we do, secondly - and maybe more importantly - look at the way he pulled himself together for the up & down, rather than leaving his pitch short and three putting.
