When you are swinging well what kind of shot after you hit it do you think "wow that shot was amazing."

For me it is when the wind is howling in my face and I tee up on this 320 yard par 4 and I intentionally hit a low heel cut driver.  I just love the look of this shot and it ads about 20 yards onto my drive into the wind to leave me with a comfortable 50 yards to the hole.

Sorry I realized I buggered that up.  When you hit a shot to the lower heel edge of the sweet spot on your driver.  It makes a nice low fade ball flight.

Either a long iron off the tee or driver off the deck. Or a long fairway wood out of the rough where I can hit as hard as I can. If I have an excuse to juice it, I love to do so. I can practice my short game all the time but obviously not my full shots much unless I go to the course or range.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

An extremely difficult chip shot that you are only semi confident is gona go on the green. Then you line it up and it executes perfect and runs to inches from the hole. If it goes in, there is normally some Tiger style celebrations.

the pured 3i that looks for all the world is either dead in the bunker or skipped over the back of the green,...only for you to get there and realise you carried the bunker and held the green with a nice putt for birdie

The high draw into a tucked pin against a "cut" wind....or carving a fairway wood around a dog leg on a par 5 that ends up pin high for a 12 ft eagle putt.

Driver with straight down the middle of the fairway (hey last year i was duck hooking the driver and was afraid to look at it. Now im hitting it straight or baby draws or fades)

then

7 iron within 15-20 feet of the pin on the green.

It doesn't take much to please me.

I love flop shots and they make it more interesting when I need to save par. I had one the other day where I got it way up there and it landed about 3 feet from the hole. Par 4 and I ended up with a 5 because the flop shot was number 4. I will take bogey on the first hole all day.

I feel the exact same way. I love flop shots

Ditto.  There is no better feeling in golf (besides when you make one of those impossible putts) than a flop shot over a hazard/bunker that lands in striking distance of a 1 putt.

I love two shots... both quite simple, but I love them.  The well struck Drive that goes 250+ right down the middle with a baby draw.  And the hybrid that does the same thing (but not a s far) and lands so softly that it holds the green.

Nice.  A 13 handicap that can bust an intentionally heeled shot 270 into a howling wind.  As far as 50 yards, that's my "oh crap" distance.  As in oh crap I should have laid back more or really gone for it.

My favorite shot is a well executed fade off the tee.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
