Champions – Barry Carter

Indian Springs Golf Course

(L) OU 24 – TX 34
Word spread (barely) the next year. This time, 22 of us returned to Indian Springs for Ugly Round 2. Another Chamber of Commerce type day and on the 18th hole, Carter really pulled one out of his ass.
I was on the green in regulation and Carter was on the green laying three, 45 feet from the hole. Bain and I were already starting to count the money. We should have known better.
Carter stroked a bomb right into the back of the hole for a par but we were still in good shape. Up by one, all I had to do was 2 putt from 25 feet to win.
Not only did I fail to 2 putt, I missed a 4 footer to tie and thus 4 putted for a double bogey six, snatching victory straight out of the jaws of defeat.
This began my long history with the yips and it could be said that I never recovered.
