SgtDoodles: I seriously was aiming for the green with my hybrid and I even dinged it! That was NO SET-UP, just a weird shot on an already failing round
That was what I originally thought you were referring to in your OP (R.I.F) when you asked what happened. That club comes out too low and you needed to get up over the lip, which you didn't and wound up going left.
A good lesson here-just because the caddie says you can use a certain club make sure you can get over whatever's in front of you first. :-)
