Here is a thread where you can post your worst shot of the week. Post it, reflect on it, then work on how to better it, that's the goal. But all you need to do is post here, not reflect

Mine was in a greenside bunker yesterday, on the 13th hole. I was about to chip it out, but while I was coming down on the downswing, the ball moved, causing me to hit it low and over the green.

Plus I lost the ball.

Just off the green on a par 5, laying 3 just trying to get up and down. Crept in too close on a practice swing and caught the ball sending it 3 inches to the side. No up and down that hole.

Drove the green on a par 4 (335 yds). While it was actually my best shot of the week, I had no intention of hitting it that far and I almost hit a really sweet old lady standing on the green waiting on her partner to putt. I felt like a total dick.

Since i am slowing down my golfing, last week on monday, played in a scramble (shamble format), i was hitting my 2nd shot on the 2nd hole we played. It was 70 yard wedge shot, i banana sliced it to the next fairway, leaving me 70 yards in again, it went about 15 feet off the ground. It wasn't a shank because i didn't hit the hozel, it was just the clubface was that open. It was impressive, ended up getting a bogey.

Lost a drive into a creek that goes straight across the fairway on a par 4, and dropped a new ball just behind the creek. Took out a 7-iron to hit my 3rd shot, a decent approach angle with a decent lie, about 155 yards, slightly uphill.

Topped it into the creek 3 feet in front of me.

Dropped another, and hit my 5th shot of the hole to the fringe of the green.

My buddy's worst shot of the week was when he set up on the tee box on a par 5, gives it a mighty swing, and the balls barely rolls off the tee and between his legs.

After a monster drive on the hardest par four in a championship (last Saturday), I got a flyer (stupidly long shot) with my wedge, into a lava rock, loosing the ball (penalty + second ball) + ended uppfalling down a cliff while searching for the ball and hurting my wrist.

    • Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
    • Good luck and I hope it all pays off for you.  I play in 2 year round stroke play tournament leagues.  I enjoy it, love the competitiveness and enjoy both groups and playing different courses every week.  My goals these days is not to be come a scratch player but to shoot under my age.  
    • 😄! I'm not kidding, man! The summers here are pretty rough! I'm not playing at sunrise or sunset though! Seriously, I brought a buddy of mine out for a round in June and he's normally good at handling heat and even he was like "yea this isn't very fun" after about 9 holes.  Keep in mind, I'm not really "playing," either. I'm grinding on the range, making my swing better. It's not nearly so bad if all you are doing is playing and riding a cart, never trying to change your golf swing. But that's not how I experience golf. For me it's like 5 range sessions for every round? It's just how I like doing it, I don't like ingraining my bad move by playing a lot of rounds. And keep in mind, this is a luxury for me. I've played non-stop for three straight years, working on my swing. It's definitely trickier grinding the range in these conditions. And I needed a mental break from it too. My dad for example, he plays thru the hot summer conditions, but he never gets lessons, never works on his game. It's just rounds for him, usually at sunrise. He never gets better. I've decided to take a different path than him in this game. The months away are good for me to do something else because disciplined practice, really thinking about what I'm doing, and trying to change things can be mentally tiring.
    • Geez!!! You were born in 1983.  I was born in 1946, live in SE Texas where we have had 105+ head index all summer and I have played at least 3 days a week all summer long.  I have played all over Florida both summer and winter.  The breezes there seem to be much better than the still heat we have.
