Watching Spieth implode on the 12th hole right now makes me feel better
About my golf game when I do the same.
*sure it’s rare for them and it’s every hole for me…but still.

Augusta when he went from 4 up to being down after making a freaking 7 and drowning 2 balls on Number 12! I was watching the whole debacle (through binoculars of course). After the SECEIOND ball in the water, I turned away and told my buddy, "I can't watch this anymore". It was painful...He has never REALLY been the same since. Instead of back to back Masters, he has been an afterthought ever since. It really is kind of sad to me!

Watching him play I thought he was the next star in golf.
Just so you know, my comment about imploding was not just relegated to Jordan. Just that it makes me feel better watching pros make mistakes too.

but sometimes it IS satisfying to see that they are human like us. Spieth is FAR from the only one, but his did seem to have a long-lasting effect on his career.
Golf is a HARD game. What I learned early on, even at our levels, is that good golfers hit bad shots...What they rarely do is follow a bad shot with another bad shot or group of bad shots.....That is EXACTLY what Spieth did that day....he won't be the last.....

yesterday. 48 is normal for me but the 42 is better than I normally do. I have learned the golf lesson that nobody really cares what you score in golf. Just go play and have fun.

Accepted that I won’t get any better and just enjoy being out there with friends at a beautiful place on a beautiful day. When I play with my brother in law we don’t even keep score.

Epic, almost as epic as Stewart's win on the 18th. On the rope as well, below the green in the fairway for that finish. Fun day.
