What's Your Favorite Shot?

[ppine]

I have always liked the long irons, especially a 3 and 4 iron. The 2 is sometimes harder to hit.

[Pete]

Draw with the driver.

Second favourite is fade with the driver.

[PJCdude]

50 yd half SW. Only partial wedge distance that is almost always dead on and also only shot I hit that I rarely screw up. Smashing drives is fun but I get way more aroused off sticking wedges close to the hole.

Driving the green on drive able par 4s

[stealthhwk]

Any shot exactly 115 yards from the hole. I dont know how i do it but even on my worst days ill hit that shot inside of 15 feet 8 outta 10 times. Too bad it only hapens two or three times a round.

As a hack...I like any kind of funny shot that doesn't go as planned, but ends up okay anyway.

Thinning an iron, and seeing the ball fight and roll its way to the green is priceless.

[rkim291968]

1 foot putt.

[RussUK]

4 Hybrid, slight fade. My go to shot....... However, now im hitting my driver well, again a controlable fade thats in a at a close 2nd place

[DeadMan]

Pured, straight driver shot that splits the fairway. Nothing like it in my book.

[Gunther]

The ones I think about as I lay my head on the pillow that night.  It's almost never the 300 yard drive down the middle or the 30-yard pitch hole-out or the 30-foot putt.  

Almost invariably it's an approach shot.  Could be a 190-yard 4-iron to 6 feet or a 150-yard 8i.  Most recent round it was an 80-yard SW from a fairway bunker that landed 8 feet behind the hole and sucked back to 4 feet.  These are the shots I play over and over in my head as I drift off to sleep.

I'm with @saevel25, I think my favorite is the pured 6i-8i that is executed exactly as planned.  I love me a big bombed drive that goes where I was aiming, but that pured mid iron that goes right where I want, how I want, is still more fun.  I think it's because the sweet drive is great to have in the bag because it sets up better shots at birdie and par, but really it's the approach where you make your money.  I'm a good enough putter that I'm not 3-putting too much, so if I have a look at GIR and hit it, I'm gonna get par (or birdie) the large majority of the time.  But lord knows I've played a ton of holes where I bombed a drive that split the fairway, then totally failed on the approach and ended up with bogey or worse.

My favorite has got to be a knockdown shot with a mid or long iron. The best shot I have in my bag playing in a state famous for windy conditions. My absolute favorite is a knockdown four iron from 170 that shot has saved me more times than I can count

After @golfncowboy mentioned the wind, I'm reminded of one of my favorite things to pull off.  Sometimes, when hitting into a strong wind from a good long distance, I'll hit my driver off of the fairway.  Hitting it solid and straight, and about 10 feet off the ground with a ton of roll, that's one of my favorite shots to pull off.

[tristanhilton85]

I think for me it is an approach shot that comes off the club face as I imagine it and leaves me a good shot to make a birdie.

[Patch]

These days my favorite shot is any shot that involves my favorite club, which is my 7 wood.

Mid to long iron to the middle of the green. That's the high that keeps me coming back.

A close 2nd is a putt that involves a bank over the fringe (or even further off the green) then back and downhill to the hole. It's such a good feeling to correctly judge the read and speed on those.

Damn it... this thread is not helping my Winter depression.
