Other than low scores, what gives you the greatest satisfaction on the course?

[kevin.chan]

Able to deliver the shots ( fade , draw , punch etc ) 100% .

I also have a few things that make me happy.

- When I am hitting a consistent ball off the tee
- Strong putting game
- pure ball striking with all clubs

So if I am having a bad day at the course and any of the above come through, then I am happy :)

One of the most satisfying things for me on the golf course is hitting a pure 5-Wood (Nike Sasquatch) and watching it take a nice flight path and stop right on the green on par 5's to reach in two...maybe its so satisfying because it happens about once a month..?

I have to say that for me, the thing that makes me the happiest is hitting my target dead on. Watching the ball flying EXACTLY the line I wanted is just such a beautiful feeling. I can overlook a lot of junk in my game if I can keep my target line going on like I want it to.

Y'all have fun!

Spending time with my buddies that are normally very busy with families etc

I work in sales so its nice to unstress

That one shot... For me that one shot can come from any club.

I guess since I have been concentrating on ball striking more, I love when I look at the club face after the shot and see the ball mark in the sweet spot. My normal shot is typically closer to the hosel, so when I see/feel the sweet spot I get all warm and fuzzy.

I love to paint my way around the course and shape the ball from tee to green. Hitting that high fade around the tree to the tucked pin, or swinging a big hook around a dogleg left, etc. Definitely my favorite part. Wished I loved putting as much as the longer game.

[AP81]

Outdriving all my mates. POW!

[dbuck]

Hitting good shots that "go where I'm looking". Obviously I don't "pure" that many, but I hit a good many that turn out generally like I planned.

One of my favorites was early season like January or so. I was only about 160 out but it was cooler and hitting into about a 2 club wind. I hit about a 3/4 3 iron on a low draw trajectory that hit the green. I wasn't scoring well that day, but that shot made me enjoy the round.

[Meddle]

Once every couple rounds I decide to intentionally fade or draw a shot. When successful it's a great feeling.

[Amofada]

Draining loooong putts. The ones where you're thinking about just avoiding a 3 put.b Such a bonus

[imtomtomim]

Outdriving all my mates. POW!

That's always fun too!

[WUTiger]

Getting a par (or better yet a birdie) on the No. 1 or 2 HDCP hole.

Getting up and down for par after a bad drive.

Drawing an iron shot back against a left-to-right crosswind and landing it close to pin. (The one fancy shot I actually pull off on occasion!)

[PooN]

I like Go-Far balls... when I hit them clean and they go far that makes me happy.
Also, if I visualize a shot shape and hit it like I want I am super happy - this can actually bring me back into good play if I'm having an off day.

[ryebread442]

Making long putts. I just love the feeling of watching it go, walking in it's trail, and watching it sink. Even a long putt for bogey is fun to experience.

[shortys408]

like during my last round, holing one from 160 yards out. Ever since that shot I havent been able to get golf out of my head.

[Forest]

Hitting really spinny wedge shots that roll back about 10-15 feet.

[Stretch]

Hitting greens. To me there is no better feel in golf than hitting a pure iron shot, seeing it smack down on the green, and spin back a foot or two. Long irons don't have that same spin effect, but it is also nice because it is a harder shot.

This is my favorite, too. There's nothing like watching a well-struck iron shot, high and far, turning over gently into the heart of the green. Magic.
