Kicking my buddy's a-- on the last whole by holing a 30 ft. putt! It was only for dinner, but it was worth it. He freaked! Ha ha. It doesn't get any better!

The day my wife realized that the fastest way to get me out of any golf store is to let me buy something

If that doesnt count then it has to be any time I get to golf with my kids or my dad. Maybe one day I will even get them all together and make an awesome foursome.

Hi

best golfing moment..getting 15 foot of backspin with a 4 iron from 190 yards with a gallery too...awesome!!!!

best golfing tv moment

John Daly winning the 1995 British Open..didn't he say that he wanted to eat a couple of steaks and a box of chocolates afterwards when interviewed by the BBC??

Close second-Faldo crushing Greg Norman at 1996 US Masters..was absolutlely unbelievable to watch..Greg wilted under the pressure like a sunday morning hacker with a good stableford score!!!!

Third-Brooklyn 1999 Ryder Cup for sheer drama and bad blood between the sides.

Dec. 24th, PGA West Greg Norman Course: they reseed the course for winter grass and it's cart path only for a month, but today they let the carts out on the fairways for the first time. Very few people on the course, felt like we owned it, and the course looked like a million bucks, temp 80*,sky deep blue, grass emerald green, lakes sparkling, scenery breathtaking; I have no memory of what I shot and could care less, it was a stunningly beautiful experience. oh, I do remember hitting a 3 wood off the deck absolutely perfect, felt like a king out there.

Playing with my 9 year old son this past year, his first real 9 holes (after 6 lessons) he chipped one in from about 30 yards out on hole #4. Tough shot, uphill with a 3 foot right to left break. It brought tears to my eyes. He's been playing since he was 5 but this was his first serious round. He shot a 65 with a nine on a par 4 with an island green. Best day of my golf life!

nothing like it, I've had many moments where i just sat back looked around and said to myself, "man i love this game."

par 72, 6500 yards, at a course called SandPiper, Its a beautiful course huge elevation changes, the first 13 holes are like a hike up and down a mountain side and the last 5 are along the river, I was using my dads irons because mine still hadnt come in the mail.. I shot 74 so the day was better than average.. one hole i was just on the fringe lying 3 on a par 4. The chip was no peach, side hill lie, downhill, at least 3 feet of break.. I said to my buddy, "im going to chip this in" so I did. aswell as my 1st and only hole in one, by myself almost dark twilight round of golf after work. I was playing fairly poor untill the par 3 18th, PW from 130 yards over water, one hop hit the pin and dropped. No one saw and i wouldnt have it any other way. Mike Weir winning the 2003 Masters

My best moment was when my son beat me on the back nine by one shot 37-38. Him playing that well with me was better than my two aces and all the great course i've played.

In 1990, I was playing a round in Italy at the Marco Simone C.C. (near Rome)

by myself.

In front of me, there was a foursome of old, rich and snobby club members.

It was during a weekday and usually local rules require smaller group to pass

larger groups.

These guys were not allowing me to pass for any reasons, and, since I look

Asian, they thought I could not speak Italian (I won't put the details of their

comments as I don't want to offend anyone, but let's just say their

comments were far away to be politically correct!)

Anyway, at the sixth hole, because of the design of the course, I ended up

to be right in front of them on the tee box. They looked each other and one

of them said: "what should we do? should we make the "bum" pass?" One of

them looked at me and arrogantly said: "you!....go!"

I raised my hand as a sign of appreciation but I did not say a word and I

acted as I was really a foreigner.

Well, I guess it was frustration of waiting behind or feel for revenge on their

comments, so I concentrated and committed a lot on that driver shot.

When I hit it, I hit it so straight, so hard and so long that they were all

astonished and one of them was mumbling "wow"...

it was an uphill par 4 - 400 yards, and I hit driver and wedge, so

I must have hit a 300+ yard driver!)

After the shot, I looked at them and with a smile I said in perfect Italian:

"The 'Bum'... thanks you all for your generosity!"

I will never forget their embarassed faces....

Well, that was definitely one of my best golf moments ever!

Shooting a final round 70 to win the club championship a couple years ago. Nothing felt better than hitting that final shot into the green on 18 and knowing I had it locked up...

    • Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,
    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
