5 inch horror stories

[Das_onionknight]

When was the last time 5" really got to your golf day.

Yesterday I was playing 18 on a par 72 and on the last par 3 there was no wind and I had 178 yards to the hole. I grabbed my 7 iron and hit a high fade and left it 5 inches from a hole in one. Don't get me wrong I am happy with the birdie but come on!!

What are your frustrating 5 inch horror stories, the ones that just stay with you for a few days?

(Keep it clean now )

Mine would have been missing the birdie putt after a great shot like that.

I'd have been thrilled with that shot. My recurring nightmare is Mr. Threeputt that I see 1-2/round. I hate that guy!!

ps. Knight, in a not unrelated topic, there is a "Shot of the Week" thread under "Golf Talk" that I would have posted that shot

I've had way too many 5'' leaves from the tee on par 3s.  I've had lip outs, ball landing past the hole and spinning back and stopping just short, landing short and ball hopping forward but with enough spin that it didn't go the extra inch to drop in.  It gets annoying, but I suppose it's easier for me to handle because I've had a hole in one already.  I think it would be harder to handle if you haven't had a hole in one yet.
