It was the Summer of 2015. My second time to play Kingsbarns (my favorite course in the world) and I was playing with one of my best friends and both of our Dads… doesn’t get much better than that! On the drivable 6th hole, I hit my drive onto the fringe…all I could think about was EAGLE. I proceeded to leave the eagle putt 20 feet short. Blew the Birdie putt 8 feet past. Almost missed the ball on my Par attempt, leaving it a solid 3-3.5 feet short.
Everyone in the group is silent. That 4th putt for bogey is NOT a gimmie… No one in the group says a word…I collect my thoughts…I take a deep breath and panic – and then, our Kingsbarns caddie (an angel sent from above) steps in, picks up my ball and tosses it to me. ‘No one wants to see you 5-putt’ – and he walked towards the 7th tee.
Love the course and can’t wait to come back!
