How good are your good shots?

I feel like crap because I didn't hit my PW 150 yards today.


Anybody have some Jack Daniels and some sleeping pills? Please!?!?! Save me from the hell that is this life.

While I'm at it -

Iron distances aren't terribly important, and don't have a ton of correlation to how good a player you are. If you pull a 9iron at the 150 marker and hit a miss that shortsides you or goes over the green, you aren't better than someone who needs to pull a 5 iron and knocks it stone dead.

Reminds me of retards who think that hitting a shorter club than other guys in their foursome means they have bigger nuts than the other guys. Usually, that guy is the 'stud' who can't hit a drive more than 225 unless it's a mile into the woods and who regularly shoots in the 90's even though he feels like he's "so close".

That's why golf is so great - any any given point, you can potentially hit a shot that the best pro could not do better.

I've always said these are the shots that make you come back to the course. I think everyone hits that one good shot even on their worst days. I had a day once where I was just playing flat out awful, I didn't even look like a duffer I was playing so bad, but then I holed one out from a greenside bunker on a severely sloping green... those shots make me come back all the time no matter how frustrated I get.

Does this say anything about my potential as a golfer, or is everyone this way? Are your good shots literally as good as the pros? As long, as well-shaped, as much spin?

I remember one of the Golf Channel personalities telling us several years ago about playing a round with Steve Flesch. He said, "I'm a 6-handicapper, and I hit good shots, but my good shots are nowhere near as good as Steve Flesch's good shots."
