Best Shot of the Week

[lamebums]

#3, short par 4, 270 up hill. My drive started way off to the right and the draw carried it to the left edge of the putting surface. Actually, it was more of a hook than anything else, but it got the job done. Drained the putt for my first eagle, ever.

I was on a 150 yd par 3 today - pulld out my 8 iron aimed for the flag - landed right behind the pin - rolled back towards the flag - got to the green and had a 2 foot putt for birdie - then i putt and the ball sits on the edg eof the hole and doesnt go in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats insane.. I did the same thing, 150 yard par 3, pulled out my 8 iron, came maybe 10 feet short. That was my shot of hte day [on tuesday]

my shot of the week was actually hitting a green on a par 3 today with my 6 iron :) finally hit it straight, and finally got the par 3 GIR.

My 4iron and I have had some good moments the last few days.

2 days ago, I threw a ball down at about 200Y to test my distance (I'd struggled with my long iron distance on the previous day). Hit a shot that was as straight and solid as could be with a beautiful trajectory. It landed about 1.5 foot short, dead on line, and ended up within 8 inches to the right of the pin, and just passed. It MUST have hit the pin.

And in a regulation round today I found myself in a fairway bunker about 190 to the pin. Again, a dart of a 4iron. Not at the pin, and it ended up about 2 feet, but it was a thing of beauty to watch fly.

I hit a nice 9 Iron to 12 feet on the 140 yard 3rd. It's over water and has a two tiered green. The pin was back left and I hit an easy draw that landed about 20 feet right and roled nicely towards the cup. I made the birdie putt which helped to soften the blow of my 3 putt bogey from 15 feet on the 2nd.

Hole Number 12 is at the University of Michigan Golf Course is a long 246 yard par 3. I hit the four iron of my life there this past week to about 2 feet. If it would have had cut spin on it it would have gone in...!!!

Hmm it must be the forum, my 4 iron today on a 200yrd in the wind par 3 stuck it 8 ft, putt never broke, oh well, ill take a tap in par on a hole like that anyday.

170 yard par 3, using a 6-iron I stuck within 2 feet. wish I could bottle that.

[Sandtrapper]

well i guess ill say the first one was my own forever best happened about a week ago. I was about 60 yards out on a par 4 right off the fairway. Hit a shot a little lower than I wanted but the green sloped up towards me a good bit so the ball hit and rolled about 30 feet into the cup. first time I had ever chipped in from that far. The second would be last weekend i was playing with a buddy at a course I hadnt been to in 4 years or so. There was a dogleg right with a green only a short, 275 away. My buddy plays a pretty mean hook so he decided to play it WAY over the trees on the right hoping that it would come back in ok. well, it did, he caught a good bounce and put it on the green about 10 feet from the hole. one of the most amazing amateur shots ive ever seen considering the circumstances.

165 yard par 3 18th hole. Very downhill so it plays about 135ish. Trees straight ahead of you up until about 30 yards before the green. Took out a 9 iron and pitched it about 5 yards before the green, it rolled down the bank and went to about 10 ft, putt almost dropped but it went about an inch past to the right, knocked it in for par.

On the par 4 #10, my tee shot ends up in the sand, about 120 to the pin. Pick it perfect out of the bunker, it lands about 15' behind the pin in zips back to about 2" for a tap-in bird.

The first hole on the course I usually play at is about a 350 yard, par 4, that has a 90 degree dogleg to the right. You have to hit it 200 yards to get a look at the green, so I took my 3-wood and faded the ball over the turn. Unfortunately, I caught it so pure (imagine that) that it went to far and ended up in the rough. About 120 away, I took an 8 iron and punched it to the hole. I landed on the front and rolled all the way across the green and ended up lipping out of the hole.

Two weeks ago - 165 yd. par 3. Caught my tee shot fat and put it in the creek that protects the front of the green. Drop a ball - first shot in play with my brand new 60* lob wedge - blade it over the green. Green slopes back to front and the pin is in the back so I have no way of getting it close. I play a decent little pitch to about 30 ft. below hole. Lying 4 now. I could easily 3-putt this for a 7, but instead I hit the left-to-right breaker perfectly, tracking to the hole the whole way, drop it dead center of the cup for a most-satisfying double-bogey.

Last week, different 170 yd. par 3. I hit my tee shot just over the green, about a foot into the rough, about 20 feet from the hole. I play a nice smooth chip with my 60* lob wedge, great trajectory, great speed, looking like it's going to be close, but left of the hole, about a foot or two out, it starts breaking towards the hole, and then dies right in! Birdie Chip in! Gotta love writing 0 putts down on the card.

Maybe not the best; definitely the luckiest.

Last Thursday I was playing a three-man scramble with my dad and one of his co-workers. The 10th hole is a very short par 4, about 215 yards from the middle tees. There's a lake right in front of the tee extending maybe 85-100 yards. I hit a 5-wood off the blade and sent the ball shooting out over the water. It skipped about 20 feet from the opposite side, hit the rocks on the embankment and popped up in the air. It came to rest dead-center of the fairway about 50 feet in front of the green. That turned out to be the best out of the three of us, and we proceed to make par, feeling at once very fortunate and yet disappointed that we couldn't make birdie.

12th hole, par 4 about 380. Hit a poor 3 iron off the tee with about 152 yards to the green, left side of the fairway. As I approached my ball, I realized I would have to lean against a tree and put the ball inside of another tree to get it out safely. The pin was front right, and I could not fade the ball because of the low overhang covering the left side of the fairway. My only choice was to hit the draw with my 8 and hope for a safe third shot. Struck it pure and caught a good role and put it 4 feet from the hole to the right. Blew the putt.

Today--Shot a 47(36) on the front and up until I totaled my score, I didn't know what I was shooting on the back. I hit the GIR on the 18th hole (541yd par 5) with a PW from about 120 but came up a little short and was about 40ft away for my birdie putt. And whatdya know...I sank dat b*tch!

The hole: terrible tee shot that went about 200yds. chunked my next 1 wood a little and that went about 220ish. left with approx. 120 for my PW.

why i love par 5's: you don't need great shots to get the GIR lol

p.s - shot a 40(36) on the back for a 15-over-87

[KingCobra]

i was 135 yards out and hit an 8 iron a foot away from the cup today
