I never saw you watching me.
There are explanations for those shots, here they are:
If I hit it very far it usually ends up in a sand trap or water. I only bought one ball today so I'm playing conservatively.
I somehow used the wrong ball today. (But it's the only one I have with me.)
I somehow used the wrong club today. (And I've tried them all.)
I somehow used the wrong tee today. (A tall one to avoid a divot, I forgot my sand bottle.)
I somehow used the wrong pair of shoes today. (Slipped on my backswing.)
I failed to properly check the yardage. (I thought it said 20 yards, not 200.)
I got up on the wrong side of bed. (And a hour earlier than usual.)
I got up on the right side of bed. (But had to rush to make my tee time.)
Let's face it, once I got up I knew I'd have a bad golf day. (But I'm glad I'm still able to get up.)
The people I'm playing with were using the forward tees. (And having a good conversation, I didn't want to be left out.)
Hope this explains my errant shots to you. (Please use care when standing behind me, I have been known to hit the ball backwards.)
