It was such a great feeling!!! I was confident over every single shot. I hit some shots so well that would normally scare me that I couldn't believe it was me hitting them.

Exactly!

On the par 5 16th, there is a large hill left that slopes down to the fairly flat fairway, and a fairway bunker cut into it about 250 to 270 out, and above (left of) the trap is a sliver of fairway about 5 yards wide. I often aim for that sliver of fairway, because if I can hit it the ball will feed past the trap and settle around the 250 marker from which I can go for the green in 2. I cannot carry this trap.

But, I can't say that anymore! Saturday I went for that sliver and hit the driver flush, but the ball was just right of target, and as it flew I said to my partners "thats in the bunker". Imagine my surprise when it easily flew the bunker and wound up 231 yards from the front pin. If I have EVER flown that bunker before (it's been there for 4 years or so), it was when the tees were way forward, not the case Saturday.
