Geez. I can shank the hell out of every club in my bag, except for the putter. Even I'm not that bad around the greens. I've played that hole 4 times in my life and have never had worse than bogey (1 birdie, two pars, and a bogey to be accurate). It's not a difficult hole, unless the wind is blowing 25 plus, and it wasn't blowing hard this weekend, thus the low scores and few balls in the water at 17.
Had that been me I probably would have just dived in the water - after ripping my clubs from my caddy and throwing them in - and just head straight for the car.
