After getting the sink line and speed spot for the 12-footer I was preparing to sink, an enormous gust of wind pushed against my chest, throwing me off balance. I was indecisive about whether to putt or to back off the shot. All of this happened in a split second.

Well, I backed off the shot, the wind settled down a bit, and then putted without conferring with Putting Angel Pete. Don’t ya know, my ball went completely straight and missed three inches to the right of the hole. I then realized that if I putted when the wind was blasting, my ball may have been pushed to the left three inches and found the bottom of the cup.

The angels have this whole thing calculated precisely. A head scratcher for sure!

What an unorthodox round of golf today. Things became odd after making the turn. When I returned home and reviewed the round, I realized my drive went left on every hole into the rough, except luckily not on #12, a par 3 which is surrounded by water on three sides. Other than that, this unconventional back nine was downright weird.

As the back nine was unfolding, I had a realization that something out of the ordinary was happening. By the time I got to the fifteenth hole, I chuckled, knowing most likely a blog would come forth. What amazed me most was my attitude; I just accepted each shot with no fuss, resistance, or annoyance. Needless to say, the angels were shocked!

In hindsight, I didn’t hit a one fairway, played shots from alternate fairways, and found places on the course I never knew existed. It reminded me of being at the arcade playing a pinball machine. And what was truly astounding was that my score on the back nine was what I would typically shoot. Go figure!

The message from the angels is to stay the course, put your best foot and attitude forward, and it’ll all work out … often even better than expected. A great reminder, as occasionally I get stuck in the grind, or push to make things happen.

Sometimes an unconventional way leads us to discover something we would not have experienced otherwise … inside ourselves.
