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...

Fairways and Greens.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I had two events the past two days. Yesterday I was playing a course blind. Hit it solid. Hit 9/14 fairways, 12/18 greens, 34 putts. Many of those putts were the result of balls that were close-ish to the hole when they landed, but wound up a long way away once they'd finished rolling (backwards mainly). Then today, hit 11/13 fairways, 11/18 greens, 37 putts, and shot 80. 8 over par and it wasn't particularly pretty. My big problem today was my pitching. I was inside 100 yards of the hole and off the green on 9 occasions.  1st - drive to about 75 yards, fanned a 58 degree short and right. On the green, but a good 40 feet away and good two putt from there (so took 3) 2nd - laid up to a bunker and it's narrow past it, so had 165 in, missed it right with an 8 iron. Wet rough, chip from about 5 yards off the green and the club snagged. It got on the green, but only temporarily. Overcorrected a bit on the next one and hit it a bit firm and it rolled out to about 35 feet. Putt didn't break and it ran on a bit and I missed the one back (greens were fast and a little bumpy, which didn't help, but doesn't excuse either). (took 5 to get down from close to the green) 4th - had about 95 from the right rough, hit it on the green and two putts (3) 5th - 90 from the fairway, tugged it and it got a firm bounce, chipped on and hit what I thought was a decent chip, but it ran out down the hill and two putts from 20 feet (4) 7th - 65 from the fairway, significant upslope and hit it a bit hard, ran long left against the collar. Tried to blade a PW, but it got under a bit so didn't advance it anything like far enough. Made a good two putt from there (4) 11th - 63 from the fairway, hit a squirrelly pitch on the green and two putts (3) 12th - 75 from the semi-rough, caught it a bit clean and it wound up on the back edge. Putting down a tier and it ran 8 feet past (that was actually a really good putt and couldn't have done any better I don't think) and missed that (4) 13th - 55 from the fairway, overcorrected and hit the big ball before the small ball. Then made a stellar up and down from 25 yards short to an elevated green with a putter (3) 15th - down in three from a greenside bunker (3) That was it. The other 9 holes I hit it on the green from outside 100 yards. So on those 9 occasions, I took 32 shots to get in the hole. 3.56 average. Terrible. Reason I'm posting this in here is to see if anyone has any suggestions for how to work on my contact with pitch shots. I don't have access to a grass range. Only mats and it's easy off a mat. Partly I think my problem is I've hit it off mats so much this winter that I've lost my judgement on where the ball is versus the ground because of the leeway granted. Open to ideas. I also suspect that under pressure I stand a bit closer to it and then get steep and hit down on it and it puts me in a bad place, but I can't seem to get myself to not do that.
