Best Shot of the Week

[TheGolfingDetective]

Number 2, 370 yard par 4, slopes left to right and is uphill. I hit my drive to about 5 yards beyond the 100 yard marker, on the right side of the short stuff. Got on with a wedge.....

and proceeded to three putt for a bogey 5.

But that drive... WOW. I almost felt like a golfer.

The last round I played I was playing fantastic and ended up shooting my lowest ever round, an 81. Anyways I 3 putted the 17th as I had let my head start thinking about how great I was playing - doh! Anyways I stood on the 18th tee which is a long par-5, about 580 yards. I hit a good tee shot which caught the lip of a fairway bunker and I had to use my 56* wedge to get out. So I'm standing there probably 280 yards out thinking I need to bomb a 3 wood close to have any chance of making par.... I hit probably my worst shot of the day and topped it.... anyways I ended it up topping it about 150 yards and had a 9 iron into the green which I put to about 10 feet and made the putt for one of the strangest pars... the 9-iron was just hit perfectly

Played Sunday and played well, in fact best round of the year with an 84.

Have a chance to break 40 on the back nine but need to finish par-par.

17 is a 180 yard par 3, pin is up and i sweet-hit a 6 iron to 10 ft... miss the putt, but a great shot for me non the less.

18 I rip a drive 280 (which is really long for me) have 105 into the pin and chunk my gap wedge. Hit my 60 degree to 12 feet and drain the put. Finish 45-39 for my first under 40 side in three years.

304 Yard par 4, number one hole....people waiting behind my group on the box.... driver off the tee box, rolled to 3 ft from the pin. Tap in Eagle. =]

Finished 1 over on the front haha

Played at one of the home courses today, Castlemore Golf & Country Club (69.1/132). Shot a 76 so it was pretty good. Best shot came at the 11th, 171 yard par 3. Used a 6 iron which lands the ball about 4 feet from the pin, and it felt great. Birdied 11th ...

[MrKadash]

Hit an 8-iron from 156 yds. yesterday to about 6 feet, then proceeded to miss the birdie putt. Easily my best shot in the last two or three weeks. Ironically, I drained two birdie putts from between 20-30 feet later in the round... go figure.

Sort of a funny but good shot for me yesterday. About a 360 yd par 4 I drove about 250 out and 40 to the left off the tee and then had a difficult shot from the left so I hit a Vokey 54* about 100 or so out and hit into the sand bunker and then my ball bounced out to be about 3 feet from the hole ! I knocked it in for birdie and walked away smiling as a tough bunker shot was turned into an easy birdie putt

[ChiChiIsMe]

Yesterday #18, cut my drive through the trees on the right, end up behind a bush @ 175, decide to punch out. Fail miserably @ the punch by toeing it directly into the bush. Now my ball is 170 to the green, under the bush, but not so much I can't get a swing on it. Throw this shot to within 5' for an easy par putt.

Last week on a 400 yard par 4 I hit my drive 200 yards left and was in the middle of the woods surrounded by trees. Then with my 4 hybrid I hit a low shot that managed to hit every single branch but still snuck its way onto the green

[ks8829]

I hit an easy approach shot about 100 yards away to a back pin on the 18th hole to beat out my buddy. I hit the shot easy with the full backswing and uncoiling the forward swing without any effort and the ball did what I wanted it to do.

I missed my birdie putt but made my par. This swing I did not have two weeks ago so it was a confidence builder for me knowing that I can hit shots closer to the pin.

I'm on a par4 and slice my tee shot way off into the other fairway on the right. When I get to the ball, there is a tall stand of pine trees between me and my hole. The smart play would be to chip back onto my fairway so I can get a look at the green.

Fortunately, I'm not a smart player.... I'm a high handicapper with poor course management skills. :) So I decide to shoot a 7 iron in the direction I think the green is.

To my astonishment I managed to get the shot to clear the top of the trees, then a second later I hear "Good shot!" coming from the other players. I'd managed to put myself on the green about 15 feet from the hole. :) Not bad for a blind shot by a beginner.

I then proceeded to tripple put and ruin the hole. :)

Par 5 listed at 518. Roll my tee shot to the left...right against some brush that lines the left side of the hole all the way down. No swing....punch an 8 iron out to where I can play it.... Hit a 3 wood, popped up..... Laying 200 yds out, blind shot into the green....hitting 4. Hit my new hybrid and put it pin high 8 feet to the left. Pushed my putt! Nice bogey bonehead!

[Big Padrigo]

454-yard par 4, 2nd shot from the left handside of the fairway about 200 yards out to a back pin, bunker protecting the front of the green. Hit a very pure shot to about 8 feet with my 4 hybrid and sunk the putt for a very satisfying birdie.

Hole #1 363 yard Par 4

First shot of the round, first shot (on the course) with my new shaft in my 3 wood (I don't have a driver). I smoked it about 240 straight as an arrow, the shot sounded great, felt great, it was the kinda of shot that keeps you coming back to golf.

The best part was that I capitalized on my nice tee-shot by making par, which is awesome for me.

Man, I love this game!!!

[etk7027]

178 yard Par 3 with a pond on right and trees on left. Used my X18 5 iron and stuffed it 10 ft. over the pin. I was the only one on out the foursome.

[Big Padrigo]

Played this morning and came about as close as I ever have to a hole-in-one. 155 yards to the pin, wind was right to left and against. Hit a 6-iron that was all over the pin, landed a couple of feet in front and checked after one skip; gotta love those 18" birdie putts!

[Anand]

I hit many good shots yesterday. Perhaps the best was with the Cleveland HiBore 2i hybrid. I had pushed my tee shot into the first cut. Wind from the left and pin at the very top tier of a 3 tier green. From 208 I aimed at the left edge and flushed it ... the wind gently brought it back to the flag and it 'dropped and stopped' to 6 feet below the hole. Missed the birdie putt, though!

[Mr.Buckethead]

In a President's Cup Match at my club. Down 3 with 7 to go.

Beat my opponent on 17 to square the match. Go into 18 feeling good and ready to complete my comeback. 360 yard uphill par 4. No view of the green. Have to hit the ball over a hill.

I hit driver and my opponent rattles crap in the cart on my takeaway. Duff it, goes a little over 100 yards, still at the bottom of the hill, no view of the green.

Skycaddie says 230 to the front. Hit my new 15 degree Nike Hybrid as pure as can be. Wind up on the green, 20 feet away.

Opponent has 130 in, hits it fat. Ends up bogeying and I par. He was pissed but that is karma. Don't rattle crap in someones backswing.
