I followed John Daly at the Buick Open some years ago - he was in the rightside rough and his ball was behind a tree, we figured he would punch out to the fairway. Not Daly, he took a huge swing at the ball and it launched like a rocket right over this tree toward the green - unbelievable.

I saw what many consider one of the greatest shots of Seve Ballesteros' career -

1983 Ryder Cup at PGA National, Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. Singles match against Fuzzy Zoeller. Was 3 down at one point & needed to win the 18th for a halve. On the 18th he had 250 yards from a fairway bunker. ball up near the lip. Anyone would have blasted out. Seve took a 3-wood, opened the face way up, aimed about 50 yards left of the green & hit a rope-cut onto the green.

There is no video of this shot...which is kind of surprising. But it has become almost mythical thru the years.

US open at bethpage, tiger hit a 7 iron into wind, up hill, he had 192 yards to the pin and i swear it sounded like a gunshot. stiffed it. I never heard a golf shot like that ever...

Jimenez at the Open at St. Andrews (17th hole) in 2010. He made double-bogey, but that shot was unbelievable.

Steve Lowery's double eagle on the 17th hole in the final round at the International at Castle Pines in 2002.  He still finished 2nd to Rich Beem who was finished and sitting in the clubhouse watching Lowery's finish.  He actually had a makeable putt on 18 to tie, but just slipped it past the hole.  I was working the 17th as a hole marshal and was stationed at the green at the time he made the shot.  Lowery won the event in 1994.

All great posts!! It's been said Seve had the best pair of hands in golf! Would have loved to see that 3 wood shot! Jimenez is one for the ages, love his cigar approach to the game - better yet is his newfangled stretching exercise with his (5 iron I think), what a sight!!

Shaun Micheel's approach shot on the 72nd hole of the 2003 PGA at Oakhill in Rochester, NY.

He was paired with Chad Campbell and on the 18th tee Micheel had a one stroke lead. 18 is uphill (from tee to green) and we were up by the scoreboard, unable to look down the hill to see the players, all we saw was the ball being stiffed to the pin and did not know whose shot it was. So that added to the excitement

It was a great day, but the couch is much better for a Sunday.

Tigers chip shot on 16 at the Memorial last year.  His tee shot went long and settled down in the thick rough.  His chip shot was stright down hill, no one that day held the green from where he was.  Next thing you know he knocks it in like it was no problem.  That shot basically one him the tourny.  Unbelievable I have never heard a roar so loud.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
