Was this you Geoff?

TOKYO -- Superstitious or not, Japanese golfer Mitsuhiro Tateyama is likely to shudder whenever he comes across the number 19 in future after an horrific round Thursday at the Acom International.
Still, Tateyama could see the funny side after setting a Japanese record by taking 19 on a par-3 hole at the Ishioka Golf Club.
The 38-year-old found the rough with his second shot before hitting it into bushes where he took 14 shots to hack the ball out. At he least avoided three-putting.
It was the worst single-hole score since Norio Suzuki incorrectly signed for a 42, his nine-hole total, at a Japanese tournament in 1987. The previous worst for one hole was 15.
"There were more reporters around me than for the leader," Tateyama joked after his meltdown on the eighth. "That must be a world record or something."
Tateyama added: "My mind went blank. I lost count of the number of strokes I had. I couldn't even see the ball when it was in the bushes. I just wanted to get it out quick."
Tateyama, who has never won a Japanese tour title, finished with a 13-over-par 84 but surprisingly avoided carding the day's worst score after recovering with four birdies.

Ahem, may I use a quote here from a very wise young man that I met this summer and had the pleasure of actually witnessing his skills and ability on, and off the golf course?

''Regardless if you are getting your ass kicked or not, you have to show interest. Then with interest comes the desire to compete. With the desire to compete comes the will to win. With the will to win comes the effort to do your best. You can see where I'm going with this. And this applies to all sports.''

Can anyone see where *I* am going with this?

I know exactly where you are going with this, and believe me that was my mentality when my rounds started. But lacking skill and lacking desire and interest are too different things. And please don't take my quotes out of context. Makes me look stupid. And man you're a fast reader to already have read and quoted that. But I was referring to professional athletes (when millions of dollars and national pride is on the line), not hobbyists like myself.

Of course your quote was taken out of context little Geoffrey I guess my weeeeeee feeeeeeble little mind (Hacks going to have fun with this one) must have misread a part of what you said, I guess I should go back and read it real slowly word by word to make sure I get it right

I had no intention of making you look stupid all of us can accomplish that on our own without anyones help (right Dick/Hacker?)

Just though I would point out how sometimes ones' words of wisdom can come back to bite you in the ass!

But who better than to point this out to you than me or Dick since no one pays attention to our posts anyway!
