What’s your most memorable shot ever in golf? Can be good or bad, just the shot you think is one you’ll remember for a long time. And you don’t have to pick just one. You could list two or three that you really remember. Here’s two of mine:

1) On the fourth hole of our first match of the season last year, par-5, I was laying three in the rough, 125 out (yep, not a good hole so far). Wind was slightly at my back, so I pulled an 8I, and sent a missile right at the pin. It pitched down, and settled just a roll short of dropping, giving me a par.

2) About 2/3 through the season, we were playing one of the trickier courses on our schedule, which was fairly long for me (par-36, around 3250 from blues) and had fairly quick greens. After a rollercoaster of a round, we came to the green of the tricky par-4 9th. I was putting for par, having hit a mediocre chip to about ten feet. Took a while to line it up, but I put a confidant stroke on it and it dropped for par and a round of 47. A great end after a rocky triple-birdie-triple start.

So far there are two for last year because they happened back to back holes.

1) My buddy shot off the Tee on a par 3 that was around 167 yds. He shot the ball left which left him a short wedge shot. He chipped the ball and I saw it roll up on the green so I knew it was there somewhere. We looked and looked because the only thing we could think of was that it rolled too far. Finally as he walked by the hole he saw the ball in the cup!

2) The very next hole, he tee'd off and then I tee'd off. The hole was around 328. I hit a nice drive but was a tad right and landed just shy of the right side bunker. I could only chip up over the bunker using my lob wedge because of the flag position. I chipped the ball up and my buddy yelled that it landed and rolled in the hole!

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
