Best Golf Shot Playing Alone

[joc04]

Holed out from the bottom of a valley, hitting my 64 degree sandwedge as hard as I could, something like 50-60 yards.  Got up to the green and there it sat, in the bottom of the cup.  I snickered a bit and went to the next hole.

You hate to even tell people that story since it was done by yourself.  But what the hell?  Go for it.

160 yard par 3 (I think, the yardage varies by about 10 yards depending on which tee boxes they use), hit a 6I to about 1 foot.  I'm actually almost glad it didn't go in just because I'd rather have a witness for an ace...

I played a par 3 course end of last season alone, and hit the flag stick and sat about half a foot away on the first hole. Like Zeg said, I was kinda glad it didn't go in....no one would believe me.

I never play as good alone as I do with people. I really like the pressure of having someone watching. Not only that but playing with someone else you don't have to watch your ball perfectly. I find myself taking my eye off the ball way too early and shank it.

But my best shot playing alone? Probably just a long 3w on this downhill par 5 at my home course. I never hit a good shot at it, but this one actually went long and straight... wtf

No aces, but a heck of a lot of shots to inches.  So many I can't remember all of them.  Probably the best was 156 yard par-3, I had an 8-iron and hit the stick on the fly.  Next week, same course, same hole.  I tried to hit the stick again and did it.  There was a guy walking by and he was like "What the?"  I strolled up with my head high like I was a tour pro at a muni

I have had two very good shots both at the same hole. Hole 7 of our course is a par 5 that starts off with an elevated tee box and then goes uphill from 275 yards and in. I hit my drive to the 250 mark and then chunked my next shot from the uphill lie 100 yards. I am now 150 yards uphill with the pin in the back so I am playing this for about 175. I hit a 5 wood smoothly and I see it go over the green and bounce on the hill behind the green. I walk up to the green and check behind the hill and no ball, I check left of the hill and no ball. Finally I say to myself that I will walk by the hole and sure enough the ball is in for my second eagle.

Next morning the same pin placement I am about 125 yards from the hole and put my shot off the same bank to about 2 feet and hole it for birdie. I asked the guys to keep the pin placement there all the time but they keep insisting on changing it.

First round of the year this year and just getting back into the grove. Get to the 9th which is a downhill par 3 that plays about 175ish. I hit the most perfect 5 iron I've every hit in my life. It felt completely effortless and honestly sounded like you would hear the pros hit on TV. It was about 15 feet away but the contact that I made was what made it so great. Of course I was pumped but there was no one there to share the moment with

Last season, second shot on hole # 13 at NECC.  ~190 yards out from back hole pin, slightly uphill over tricky expanse of ESA (can only see the top of the flag).  Pured a 5-iron, and it had that forged butter Mizzy feel so I knew that it was a well struck iron.  Got up to the green, and had the ball 6" under the cup.  That close to an Eagle...

I'm always playing alone so i have a lot of them.  But i think my best one is a Par 3 about 165 yards.  I hit a 7 iron literally inches from an ace. Had to settle for birdie.

Like the tree alone falling in the forest thing...If you make an ace and there is no one to witness it...is it really an ace?

A couple of years ago I holed a 100 yard wedge shot for my third shot on a par 5 for eagle.  Hole was blind and I searched for about 3 minutes before looking in the hole.

I play alone (or with random strangers I get paired up with) probably 90% of the time, but a lot of my most memorable shots have come when I was playing with other people. Weird.

Mine i posted before.   I think it was about 2 months ago now.   Was playing the par 3 8th hole at Salem Country Club in Salem IL, tees moved up only playing about 110 yards with a big water hazard short of the green, hole in front.  Thats usually a 9 iron for me but i went with 8 in case I mishit it i would still clear the water.   I actually didnt hit it perfectly but landed the ball just on the front of the green, bounced and rolled to within 3 inches,  that close to a hole in one.

Played a par 3 course 2 weeks ago.  3rd hole was 156 yards uphill.  I hit an easy 6 iron and thought my shot went over the green and into the bunker behind.  As I was walking to the green the group behind me (their tee box was to the right and elevated from my green, giving them the perfect vantage point) started congratulating me.  I holed it for my first ace, and none of my regular playing partners were there, ughhh!
