standing at the chasm of 200+ yards over the pacific to the 16th green at Cypress Point...I nailed a 2 iron into a slight breeze to about 35 feet just left of the pin. The caddy comes over and hands me my putter and says "nothing like a nice long walk with your putter"...tears were coming down my cheeks...better than the 3 hole in one's or the double eagle.

The first time I chipped in, it just feels great. Still feels awesome every time I do it, since it's very rare.

I was standing in the fairway on a par 4 and had about a 225 yd. shot to the green and was waiting on the group in front of us to finish putting.

These jerks playing behind us had been pushing us all day even though WE were the ones waiting on every shot (i.e. not playing slow). Finally, the group behind us started teeing off and hit several shots near us in the fairway and even grunted a few "hurry ups" assuming I would never reach the green on my approach shot.

Well, when the group finally left the green I hit one of the best shots of my life and landed it right smack on the green - best shot of my career

From that point on we didn't get pushed by the group behind us for the rest of the day

Great day and that was at least 8 years ago!

My best moment was the during my first year of playing golf. It was like my 4th or 5th time actually out on the course. We are playing a really short course with no par 5's over 500 yards. The first par 5 we come to is 388 from the whites. At about 200 yards there is a downhill slope with a stream running through so all average players have to lay up or deal with the water on the fly. I hit my driver and wound up in the flat about 5 feet from the stream. This puts me about 180 out up hill to the green. I hit my 4 or 5 iron (its been 8 years so i can't remember the club) perfect right where the green is. We get up there and can't find my ball anywhere. So i figure i must have put it over the green and i drop behind the green and chip up. I go to take the pin out and my ball is sitting in the cup. No one could believe what just happened. It felt great and that is truly the moment that hooked me on golf.

Anytime I played with my grandma.

So true. There will always be the individual things, but golf is a social game and it's always nice to have people arround you that you enjoy when you make the incredible shots.

I have a funny ongoing thing with my brother about chipping in. He had never chipped in before in his life. Every time I would do it (4 or 5 times a year), I would call him and tell him about it. We played in a tournament where the green was right next to a tee box that he was standing on and I chipped in right in front of him. We played a few weeks later and we came to a hole with a temp green and one of the extra large cups. He chipped in but I had to rag on him because of the big hole. Made for a lot of fun. I still don't think he has chipped in on a normal hole to this date.

I had just received my first set of clubs and was out in probably my 3rd round at 10 yrs old. Playing a long par 4, I was hitting a 7 iron from about 125 yrds out. I skulled the ball and it never went any higher than a foot off the ground. With about 25 yards to the front of the green, the ball hit a cart path sign and bent it just enough to launch the ball straight up in the air. After one bounce on the green it dropped straight in the cup for my first par ever.

Tied with:

Another long par 4 with a road that runs the entire length of the hole to the right. I sliced my drive and it started bouncing right down the middle of the road. After about 100 yrds of this a 1985 ford pickup ran the ball over and shot it dead left within about 15 yards of the green. A 450yrd drive.

i was going to say that for me, nothing can compete with my hole in one, but when i was playing with my brother (12 years old, never played golf before) on friday, seeing him birdie the second hole (102 meter par three) by driving the green with my 3 wood and sinking a 2 - 2 1/2 meter putt without even lining up, that was one of the best experiences i have had on a golf course, i just started laughing when it dropped.

Playing a quiet round with my wife in the cart on our anniversary this year. It was a colder than normal day but still nice and we got out on the course and it was just us. Great talk and I was hitting the ball really well which she got a charge out of.

Close second: Par 5 on the back nine of Lincoln West. Perfect drive off the tee which rolled up to almost 300 leaving me about 224 in. Pulled out the hybrid and just tattooed it and ran it up to within about 8 feet. Putted it out and walked away with my first eagle. THAT rocked.

my greatest moment has to be my hole on one. 187yds slightly downhill with a 6 iron. my second greatest is when i birdied 18 at rocky point to shoot my lowest round ever an 80, when all i needed was a bogey to shoot 82 and beat my previous best 83. so i was real happy to conquer the pressure i put on myself that day.

playing at Cane patch par 3 course in myrtle beach earlier this year. First time actually playing on a course not just on the driving range. My dad aces on his 8th hole ever (90yds I think), I birdied the 10th hole in front of about 40 people. First sub bogey score I ever got. What are the odds on that?

    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
