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.

Woods: Cleveland Launcher (Driver, 17 degree, 22 degree)

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!

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
