Heck Of A Time To Press
By Tim L On 19 October 2020
I'm submitting this for my dad. So we play $1 skins, one skin per hole with an option to press/press base & press, blind press, etc. So I was losing to my dad most of the round and birdied a pressed hole for 8 skins (he was up 2 up to that point). So now he goes down 6 going into the 16th hole. That ends up getting pressed which ends up with him losing another 4 skins. Here comes the 17th hole. I tee off (likely OB) so he's maxed out his press making this hole worth 4. We don't have a good look at the hole, but we both figured he's in a good spot for a birdie putt. I drive ahead to look for my ball and look at the green where there's no ball. My dad's known for his luck on the golf course so I start walking onto the green knowing it's in the damn hole. That 4 skin turns into 16 on top of his hole in one. He's a member at the course and a member of the hole in one club so the 16 skins was chump change for him at that point. Glad I could be there with him!
