Best Shot of the Week

[Thrdroc]

I'm not sure which of my shots i would consider the best for the week. I played yesterday and it didn't go to well because i haven't hit my clubs in 2 weeks till then. The 3rd hold at the course i was playing is a long par 4 about 460 downhill. My first tee shot pushed to the right and never came back like with the draw as most of my shots do. So i changed clubs to my 3 iron and teed up again. Hit this right down the middle. So i'm hitting 4 from about 160 out (the course was very hard and everything was rolling like crazy) so I pull my PW and hit the ball. The guys on the next tee start scream. My ball went in the cup. Sorta sucked it was for par.

Two holes later, a short par 3 that always give me trouble because it falls in a gap between my SW and PW I was lucky. The tee's were up and the pin was all the way forwards. I hit my SW and stuck it about 3 feet from the pin and putt in for birdie.

My worst shot and best shot of the week came on the same hole. On a two hundred yard, straight ahead par 3 I shanked a 6 iron into a deep ditch well right and 120 yards short of the green. I was sitting down in some rough and it looked like I was just going to have to hack it out back to the fairway. I joked with my openent that "Ah I can get up and down for par from here." I pulled an 8 iron and swung as hard as I possibly could, just hoping to get it up close to the green. To my amazement it landed about 6 feet short of the hole and stopped 6" short of going in. Tap in par!! It was good enough to make me forget about that tee shot.

Number 8 at Fox Run, 350 yards from the tees I was hitting from. Slight dog leg, although it's better to just say it's left of center. Downhill after 250 yards or so to a green guarded by a pot bunker in the front, and a flower garden in the back. Well, I kill my driver smack down the middle, with my usual shot, a long draw. I get up there to find my ball about 20 yards short of the green, and to the right of it a bit. Do the math, that's a 320+ yard drive.

My buddy's second shot landed him in the pot bunker, and I watched him take 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 trying unsuccessfully to get out. I was cracking up behind him, and then I flub my chip into the pot bunker. Third shot, blasted to the other side of the green. Three-putted for double bogey.

About 250 yards into a par 5...slightly down hill. The fairway drops way down and either I lay up to the bottom and hit back up hill or attack the green, which is a bit small for a par 5 and guarded by a front left bunker.

I'm not big on hitting my 3-wood off the deck so I pull my 19 degree hybrid out and take a good, hard swing. I couldn't have hit it any better. A beautiful high draw that starts just right of the green and comes down in the middle and only bounces about a foot. I'm pin high about 25 feet away for eagle...barely missed the putt, but I'll take the tap-in birdie.

It was probably one of the best shots I've hit in a long time. God I love my hybrid.

I played yesterday at the course i usually play at. I creamed my tee shot (a 3 iron) but it hooked hard. I came up right behind the green of a hole coming back. I have no clue how far I am so i guessed and grabbed 8 iron from my bag and walked over to my ball. This shot is completely blind from a giant tree in the way. I wait to see the guys infront of carts at the next tee and I line up to were i thought the green was and take a whack at it. I hit it really clean and the guys that were putting on the green were just amazed. They asked me what i hit and couldn't believe it. Turns out it was the right club because i was 6 feet from the pin. I missed my birdie putt though

Second hole yesterday -- short Par 4. Topped my tee shot - barely past the ladies' tee. Proceeded to top my second; third shot landed in greenside bunker. Fourth shot stayed in sand, so now I'm frustrated and whack at it -- fifth lands over the green at the top of a 30-foot hill. Now I'm looking down at the green, akward lie, with the hole cut five paces off the back - no green to work with. I hit a delicate chip, bounces five feet before the fringe, rolls onto the green, and breaks correctly towards the hole! That's one way to save a double

I finally managed to drive the par 4 4th at my home course. 330 yards (about 40ft elevated tee box). I've been level with the green a few times but never on. Soooo to celebrate I proceeded to 3 putt!!!

[laconic517]

hit a 3 iron from 225 to 3 ft and made eagle

Airway Meadows Hole#1 542yd par5, After a big drive of about 300yds I had a downhill 240yd shot to the green. I hit a 3 iron for my second shot to the front fringe, 2 putt birdie.

Well, it's no 300 yard drive or majestic 3 iron or anything like that.

155 yards to the pin, out of the rough, choked down on a 6 iron and took nice easy swing...resulted in a nice crisp shot with a penetrating ball flight...something I've been searching for lately. Pin high to about 12 feet.

Yeah, I know, nothing spectacular, but those are the kind of shots that "get me off."

The more you practice the luckier you get

Par 4, 390 yards or so. Drive faded too much to the right. Ball was sitting perfectly inbetween two nice patches of grass...directly on top of good ol' Texas hardpan. Determined to keep up my "play it as it lies" thing, I decided I'd just go for it. I was about 175 out, hitting to a two tiered green, with big time slopes. Just imagine trying to stick a ball on top of a giant marble. Well I take an aggressive but smooth swing and pinch it right out, watched it draw from the middle of the tier and land about 6-7 feet. Of course I miss the birdie putt...but that last shot really got me goin.

176 from a nasty lie on the 18th hole, the #1 ranked handicap hole, a 460-yard par 4. Really sitting down in the rough - so bad we didn't see it despite driving past it within three yards.

Took a 4-iron, played a little cut swing (which, from that lie, I knew wouldn't cut at all), and put the ball to four feet. Carried the water by about 15 feet or so.

5th hole, 390 yard par 4. Drove down the left side (mishit, slight toe - draw brought it back left), a bit in the rough but sitting up pretty nice. About 160 yards left, I pull my 6 iron, it goes through a tree on the left side and almost beans the foursome ahead of me. The ball ends up pin-high, but 40 yards to the left and in a nearly impossible lie, about a foot away from a flower garden and next to a tree, so I couldn't take a drop.

With one foot on the stone wall and the other on the ground, 60 degree wedge in hand and the foursome watching, I pitch the ball to within about ten feet.

(I miss the par putt by leaving it about three inches short, dead on line. But considering the way I've been playing, and what trouble I'd been in on that hole, a bogey isn't necessarily a bad thing.)

[P3R3]

It's a tie for me...
SW fron 70 yards to 6 in., ball was in the rough and below my feet, hit a small fade and landed a few yards left of the pin, then released right and damn near went in.

Was playing handicap 4 par 5, it a perfect fade drive to navigate the right dogleg. Sitting up in the int rough I pulled a 5W and hit it solid to the fringe. On the chip/pitch I just catch it horribly fat and it barely trickles onto the green 55ft from the pin. I was so pissed at this point I told my buddie I was going to drain this. I line up the titleist and strike it true, rolls right over the titelist logo and i watched as it fell left and into the hole at the end. I have never been so excited before.

4-iron from a fairway bunker from 189 yards. Hit a nice little draw to about 10 feet from the pin - for a long while it looked like it was going to go in. Perhaps the most solid contact I've had in the past year, at least.

Played yesterday:

165 yard par three 17th hole took a six iron and just swung smoothly telling myself to just trust it. Hit the most flush shot all day. Started to the left of the pin with my slight fade bringing it right back at the flag. Hits the green about three inches behind and to the left of the hole and spins back to about 8 inches below the hole. Tap it in for birdie.

I think I'm ready for the State Match Play qualifier this weekend! :D

P.S. - I played 27 holes in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Not too shabby, eh? :D
