This topic always popps up every year...but my worst was 72 hole c Grade champs in my first year of playing and I was 5 up with 9 to play and lost by 5. Probably not the worst but definately a good effort.

club junior champs, i was 17 and the defending champ, looking for the back to back i had the lowest juniour hcp by 4 strokes. :twisted: I was sick for the firt 2 rounds and averaged double my hcp :cry: I lost by 2 shots after having a blinda on the last day. There goes my chance to make it impossible to miss my name on the boards in the clubrooms :evil:

Semifinal of the 4 ball. We'd destroyed everyone until then and hadn't had a match go past 15. Played two guys off high teen handicaps, my partner was off 22. We are down all day but win 12, 13 and 14 to get back to square. Stand on the 15th tee and think, "Just hit it in the fairway and watch them implode." Duck hook two into the scrub, lose the hole (to a double), lost the match one down... JJ

Final round of the 'A grade' NT Schoolboys Championships
and I had a 2ft put to make the NT Team! Anyway I missed and went to a playoff. :x The other guy drove his shot down the fairway and then it was my turn. 2 snap hooks out of bounds off the tee and my chances were all gone! :cry:

Choke No.1 Playing the last round of pennant for the season, team needed to win to avoid relegation. I was 4 up after 5, 5 up after 9, missed a two footer on 10 to go 6 up. Still 4 up with six to go, lost the last six holes to lose two down, team lost 4-3 and got relegated. Choke 2. Semi final club championships. I'm 1 up with 2 to go. Opponent hits tee shot on 17 OOB. I hit second shot into greenside bunker into unraked footmarks. Took 4 to get out, opponent wins hole with 6 (pars second ball). All square one to go. Opponent cold tops drive, I hit my first ball OOB, and provisional OOB, concede match to opponent. Gutted. Jack

72 hole event between about a dozen of us juniors at Ballarat. The event was for players with handicaps of 10 or more, to exclude the 4-5 hot blokes we had off 2-3-4 (they had their own regional event on elsewhere at the same time). So for an 11 marker like me at the time, it was a very rare chance to win a scratch event. Lead by 2 shots after 18. Lead by 5 shots during round two and ended up tied for the lead at the end of the round. Lead by 7 shots during the third round and ended up tied for the lead at the end of the round. Did a great job in the final round to go from 4 shots down after 10 to be leading by 2 after 16. Four putted final two holes to fall into a five hole playoff. Lead the playoff by 3 after three holes, and four putted both remaining holes to lose by 1. The winner (who got bored and gave up golf soon after) told me later that all through the final 18 holes and playoff, he felt that if he stayed within 5-10 shots of me, he still felt confident and unalarmed. It was the "1987 JA Whitten Trophy", and I didn't hole another four footer for two months after that event. I am reminded at least twice a year by "friends" about that event to this day. The following year, the event was on again, but by then I was off 8 and had to be whipped by the good players instead of being allowed to gas leak my way around with the B graders anymore.

I'd put a choking story up, but there would be no way it could match the chokes that have already been posted. :mrgreen:

Jack Van De Velde !

G69, From what I have heard about Van de Veldes choke, didn't
he have to clear some water in front of the green, his normal
club would be a 4 iron, so he took a 2 iron just to make sure it
got over the water. Then it hit a drain pipe on the spectator
stands and went into the water??
|
|
Still must have been a bad shot to hit the spectator stand then, which is still a choke.

About 15 years ago I played in the Pine Rivers Cup at sparrows
one morning. At the end of the day we realised the Wynnum Cup was
on the same day. We rang the club, got a couple of spots at the
tail of the field and high tailed it to Wynnum. I am yet to make an honour board.

ap, he was aiming to overshoot the green and get next to/on the stand as then he would have had a free drop. That would have meant probably a bogie at worst.
