... to me, I'd rather top a drive than to shank a greenside chip.Β Β Β Β Β  I practice chipping more than any other shot (only because the backyard is available) & am usually pretty solid, but more often than I like to admit, I dead shank a chip & it goes at an exactΒ right angle to the line its supposed to ... NOTHING GRINDS MY GEARS MORE THAN THAT - UGH !!!!

You ?

Same, nothin worse than a mishit on a chip unless its a 1 foot putt miss.


Nothing more frustrating to me than screwing up an easy chip.Β  Wasted opportunities!

To hit a tee shot OB, or somewhere that I can't find it and hit it again. I figure I'm never out of a hole as long as I can hit it again.

Ditto! This is by far the most frustrating thing to me when golfing, followed by missing a short putt.


It has to be a tie between duffing a chip shot and hitting a 20-30 yard pitch shot fat...both eat me up inside!

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Yup, this one. Β When I chunk a chip it only costs me 1 shot, but when I hit a drive into "bolivian" ;) it costs 2. Β (Actually more like 2.5 because I'm usually scared or angry and lacking a little concentration on the provisional and hit it less than stellarly as well.)

I agree on the fat shot. the 20-40 yard pitch shot that ends up 10-5 yards short of the green makes me mad. mostly because i know why i did it and how to not do it, but some how it still happens. leaving a ball in the sand can be really frustrating too.

Roughly 60 yards out.. 52* wedge in my hand..

Game plan: 75% swing, pinch the ball tight, land it slightly long with backspin.. (in practice i feel like i can do this 95/100 times)..

However, on the course the % is never that high!.. I either:Β  a) skull it 15 yards longΒ  orΒ Β  b) hit behind the ball causing a chunk

I think it's all in my head at this point!

Today actually

3 times piped a beautiful drive right down the middle, every time made double with no more than a 9 iron in my hand most frustrating thing ever


Being 10' off the greenΒ  with 20' left to the pin (thinking make it or having a tap-in left) and end up blading it across the green or peeking & advancing the ball a couple of feet or less.

Piss Poor chip shot, i hate it, drives me up the wall, my number 1 destroyer of a good round. I can be 10 yards from the green and waste 6 shots, its absurd.

The drive smashed down the middle, when its 3 off the tee. Why couldn't you do that first time you effin cee.


I'll be the oddball here.Β  I hate it when I crush a drive right down the middle on a reachable par 5 and it leaves me 3 wood out and I try to crushΒ it so bad I either top it 50 yrds or pull it into crap.

Absolutely! Played last weekend and was 4 over after 7 when the wedge just totally disappeared. Hit 11 fairways, nice fairway woods and irons but fought that damn wedge all day and ended up with a 97. :(

my get up and go musta got up and went..

    • Nothing exposes low point control, and for that matter the general quality of ball striking like tight lies. Lol! I am at a crossroad. My days of playing with a super strong left hand grip are coming to an end it seems. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain proper face control through impact as the club face naturally wants to turn over. The quality of strike and ball flight difference when I weaken the grip is stark. Problem is a weaker grip is at odds with my poor sore left forearm which I have been nursing for last few days after 3 days of demanding golf. As of now I will continue my 'transition' to a weaker grip with woods and hopefully my forearm will condition as I go along. Maybe someday I'll get to a normal address with irons too.Β
