Chi Keen's Vegas Strategy

Today my flight decided to play Vegas, mainly because Chi Keen said he has not played Vegas before.

After 14 holes (Navy 5), I think Chi Keen was probably about $80 down, he asked what he needed to do to recover. So we worked out the strategy for him:

1. Depend on yourself
2. Depend on your partner
3. Pray to God

While we were on the tee box of Navy 6 (Par 3), Huat Siong was preparing to tee off. Just as he was on the downswing, there was a huge explosion. It sounded very much like live-firing, probably a tyre puncture on ECP.

Huat Siong promptly pulled his short to the left, into the fence. He asked for mulligan. Guess what Chi Keen said?

"Act of God". No mulligan.

Then Chi Keen hit a perfect 3 irons to about 4 feet from the pin. He birdied the hole for $30+. I was happy to depend on this partner then.

On Navy 8, I hit a perfect 2nd shot into the green, about 5 feet from the pin. CK then followed with an equally perfect 2nd shot to about 6 feet from the pin. He birdied, I missed. Another 27 points recovered.

So here you go. The secret for playing Vegas, Chi Keen's Strategy.
