We all know that some miss snaps , as long as it's close, can still go exactly where they were aimed. Some days you get the luck on your side and on others you suffer the penalty as the ball drifts away from the intended target.
Today in 2 rounds the luck was with me as my approach snaps were consistently poor, I would guess 70% and a mixture of early and late. Somehow on most where it mattered I got the breaks and bearing in mind it was Prairie Dunes you need that luck as you can go offline there and face horrendous putts.
Best of the lot though a miss snap at the early reachable par 4 but in it went for an ace Then to add to insult (joy) a miss snap at the 14th went in for an eagle 2 on a par 4. Happy days.
I have often believed that there should be something inbuilt into Links that wouldn't allow a miss snap ( ammy also) to go in the hole but just not today
The same round playing a tougher mode of play might have been closer to par!!
