The Most Demoralizing Shot in Golf

[Troy Ocker]

For me it is definitely the OB hook or slice off the tee. Unfortunately I usually have one of each during 18 holes....

Thinning a green side bunker shot and sending it over the green!  I’m typically not bad out of the bunker but on occasion I will hit the shot described!

The thing I love most about greenside bunker shots is that you get to hit them fat.

Blowing a safe lay-up.

Any bad shot hit with a club you just got finished bragging about how much you like. 

"Man, I love this hybrid. I'll never replace it. So easy to hit, so accurate. One day you'll have to pry it from my gold dead hands." 
Lines up shot. Hits snap hook into the trees. 

"Freaking piece of crap! I'm taking this damned thing to the pawn shop! I've never liked this P.O.S.!"

I would like to be gifted a few nuggets from your dead hands.

You can't fix a snap hook.  But with a little duck (duct) tape you can fix a duck hook.

That's some serious spin.  Rusted face, square grooves?  No duct tape.

I shank 5 irons!

Topped drives really get to me. I have only 2 in the last year. The toughest one was when I was 3 over going into 17 into the wind of an easy par 5 and topped it into the ditch 20 yards in front of me.  I got cute trying to hit it low and somehow could not manage the 30 yard carry!

For me it’s any second shot after a good center of the fairway drive. If I hit a terrible drive I feel nothing with the second. Put that ball in the fairway and I’m sweating bullets to hit a decent second and not waste a good drive. 

That's me exactly. I call it the dreaded second shot. The closer I am to dead center of the fairway the greater my chance of topping or shanking my second shot.
