Whats the one shot that you hate most when you blow it ...

Topping a god damn, no good, piece of crap hybrid. I hate the sound it makes, kind of a "doink" sound. LOL.

Yeah, but you get more out of a topped hybrid than a topped long iron.

What kind of an idiot would top a long iron??? ;-)

holycrap I thought I was the only one who consistently topped hybrids - WTF is the deal with that ?!?!?      I've owned probalby a half dozen hybrids & just can NOT get confidence with them.    Much prefer long irons - I have swarn hybrids off for good mostly due to topping them (don't have that problem as consistently with other clubs) !!

I don't do it anymore but for the longest time it was almost a given. I think it's because my brain could not commit, am I sweeping or am I striking down, so I'd kinda try to do both at the same time as I looked up to admire my soaring ball flight. DOINK. Now I hit down on those ******* like they're wedges and it's all good.

gotta say it's a toss-up between decelerating through a pitch shot that shanks off the toe of the club, or blading my bread-and-butter 100yd shot (perfect distance with my GW).

[EpicNorCalGolf]

The 18th at my home course is a par-4 with a slight curve to the left and an approach shot over water.  Too many times I've bombed a drive leaving me less than 100 in and caught that shot thin or fat because the water was in my head.  It can be a real card killer.

[Ernest Jones]

Screwing up a lag putt. I expect my second putt to be close enough to take the pressure off, when its not I'm pissed at myself. Shouldn't have to be superman to get it with 2-3 feet from a distance.

[matobrien]

2perfect practice putts, step to the ball, stroke, catch the ground balls rolls 4ft foward. Putters ends up in the bushes followed by many profanities.

[Jim Ludden]

Not hitting my chip shot to 2-3 feet of hole. Anything less is a bad shot. To me that's worse than 3 putting

[dpgator33]

The 60-90 yard approach after completely over-clubbing on the previous shot.  There's nothing more frustrating than hitting a perfect drive on a short par 4 and having to take a 75% swing, knowing full well that I should have hit a hybrid and left an solid 105-115 which is a much easier shot for me. I'm not a super long hitter either, so I'm never going for par 5s in two, but I'm always going Driver/5I to about 60-70 yards, when I should be going Hybrid/6I then PW or 9I from 115-140.

The worst has to be what happened to me yesterday...

Par 5, crush my tee shot around 290, which left me about 215 out... Know that I have a chance to be on the green in two with my hybrid, and then yank it straight left!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMMMMNNNNN IT!!!!!!

[jeremehubbard]

But also, any chip shot that I leave short (which is almost all of them) or the 25 foot shot that I hit fat!!!

I had several rounds in a row last season where I would have between 175-215 into par 5s and duff a long iron.  Incredibly frustrating.  At one point I counted 5-6 par 5s in a row where this happened (only counting par 5s where I had an iron in my hand with a chance to reach in two).

[rehmwa]

dubbing the short pitch/chip shot - doesn't have to be close, but I want a clean hit - straight reference to the "what's your most inconsistent shot" thread

• decelerating and just mishit
• or the blade/skull

both stink equally

[trackster]

Not sure If this counts as a "blow it" shot but the result is less than pleasing.  I hate driving into a water hazard that splits the fairway.  I can stand bad drives that end up in the water, but when I knock one right down the pipe only to have it roll into a water hazard I get very frustrated.

Yeah, that's like fall golf or night golf with lights. Smack a beauty dead center and never find it.
