Whats your most memorable moment on the golf course this year?

Mine was winning the club championship. Also, I liked having a bogey free round for the first time.

I was a guest at my buddy's Country Club for the annual 3 Day Member-Guest (it's their biggest tourney of the year).

The moment was the last day...in a playoff for our mini-flight. On the second playoff hole (an uphill straightaway par 5) I sprayed my drive way right. I mean waaaaaay right. Maybe 60 yards to the right but pretty deep. Incredibly, the playoff referee found the ball past some trees, a drainage ditch, a maintenance shed, and more trees, on the neighboring fairway. I had a semi-clear shot up to my fairway.

I hit a 215 yard 4 iron uphill, working it around a tree on the right side of my fairway, across the fairway, landing in the left rough leaving me a 100 yard downhill shot.

I hit a SW slightly right and beyond the hole in the light rough. Our competitor blasted out of a greenside bunker to 16 feet and was lying 4. With the spinklers on in full force , I chipped a down hill 15 footer to about 1 foot, made my putt for a wild 5. Our competitor missed his putt.

We won, which was especially sweet since it was against the defending winners of our flight from the year before, who had beat us handily that time.

We asked around and nobody had ever heard of anyone hitting a drive that far right with distance. I can honestly say that even SkyCaddy wasn't much help. It was an amazing recovery.

In no particular order: Shooting a 37 on the most penal nine holes in all of Kentucky, watching my father's hole in one, getting a 21 on a single hole then being four under the next three holes, and all two of my chip-in's.

playing a 4 man scramble with only 3 guys and we came in 2nd with a 60.
of the 60 shots 45 were mine and the winning team had a pro and 2 ringers. there were no mulligans or tricks or hcps. just net scores... I had so many shots that were just magic. 60ft birdie, sandy hole out. if this is what the pros mean by being in the zone, then thats what it for sure. even though we didn't win it, it still was the best day of golf this yr.
oh yeah, the 200.00 made it a little better too....lol

After a 5 year layoff and playing my third round, I called and hit a 5 iron knock down shot into the wind from 150 pin high and made the putt for birdie. That was so sweet.

Always enjoy playing with my son and his friends who are all single digit handicappers and a couple who can really bomb it (including my son)! With that said; after some lessons and making changes to my driver/ shaft combination, I out-drove my son two times this season, in the fairway!!!!! I know it's a small thing but I enjoyed the look on his face after he walked past his ball and got to mine. He was happy for me and then whipped me bad in score, but that's ok- I want him too.

Life's simple pleasures!!

    • 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. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • 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. 
    • 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."
    • 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.
