Best Shot of the Week

[gaz d]

Thursday evening with a friend, 3rd hole, 1 over, 385 yard 90 degree, right hand dogleg. Cut the dogleg over the OB with a 5 wood, 130 to the green uphill, 8 iron in to the left of green, 9 iron from the fringe (15 ft) for birdie!

Mine was at rocky point. i hit a nice tee shot on 2 which is a 430yd par 4. i had about 160 left but it bled alittle right on me and ended up about 20ft right behind a big pine tree. i couldn't get over it and make it to the green and to go arround would have to be a huge slice. so i decided to play a low cut 3 wood. the hard part was keeping it low enough cause when i hit a cut it usually go higher. but i hit it perfect nice little half swing and ran right up on the front of the green about 20 feet and two putted for par.

odd par 5, if i hit anything more than a 4 iron ill run out of fairway.

so i hit my 6 iron to put myself into a good position to be in front on the green with a decent wedge into the green.

i flipped my teeshot and was behind a tree with low hanging limbs in front of me they were about a foot off the ground.

so i had to hit a fade under and around the tree.

so it was kind of a punch fade around the tree trying to get back into the fairway.

so i hit it faded around the tree back into the fairway about 200 yards further up and left myself a good shot into the green.

and i made out with par after it looked like i was going for +2 at best

Par 3, usually plays about 150+ but the pin was way up in the front of the green. Hole is slightly down hill. I figured I had a little over 140 downhill. Hit a 9 iron, which usually would be not enough club for me, but I hit it well and actually accelerated through the ball for once. Made a nice crisp crack coming off the club, landed about 6-7 feet short of the flag.

Before the shot I almost pulled out the 8 iron, anticipating a miss-hit shot like I always do. Instead I said to myself "I'm hitting a 9iron, and I'm hitting it well." Seemed to work.

I had a few today, if we exclude a few birdie and par putts that I pured into the center. One was on the 9th hole. I missed way left and chipped back into the fairway. I had 84 yards to the pin, which was just on top of a large ledge. I flew my sand wedge well beyond the cup and pulled it back. It lipped out.

I was out playing an exec course with my best friend today. I've been teaching him how to play golf this year and this is a great learning course -- not busy and not long but tight and enough trouble to make it interesting.

We were working on chipping before the round today. On one par 3 I hit my tee shot just short and was about 35 ft. away in the first cut of the fringe. Couldn't really putt it so I asked my friend -- "What shot should I hit?" and he responded "Pitch and Run". Correct.

I pulled a 7i and stroked the ball... landed nice and soft, good speed... broke about a foot left and dropped in the lower right corner of the cup.

Hit the ball shagging cart at the range at the 215 mark with a four iron. Then the guy goes to the back of the range to pick up the long balls, and I hit him again with the driver 260 yards. He comes in to finish around the 100yrd mark and I get him on the top of the cart twice. Had never hit the cart until today.

60 foot put, broke 10 feet to the left, dead center, perfect speed....for par. Crap.

Chipped in on the 10th hole for a birdie - also, on 17, drained a 30 foot snake for a birdie, as well.

Up until I birdied that hole, I was hoping to break 40 - but that birdie brought 36 into play, if only I'd birdie the last hole, a 560-something par 5, which I've birdied with a 3 iron before - missed the 20 footer by about an inch for the 36, though.

[NXT No. 3's]

80 foot birdie putt from the front of #12 at stoneridge, uphill all the way. Slight break left to right toward the cup. Nothing but the bottom of the clowns mouth. Capped a back to back to back birdie run for me on the back side. Too bad I almost shot 50 on the front.

playing an already terrible terrible round, i hooked a tee shot on a par4 about 240yds with about 197 to go or so. had a slight wind at my back and a 45ft high maple in my way of the green. i said, screw it my round is already gone so i'll take the risk (still confident i could pull it off though). caught it beautifully with my 5iron and put it right over the maple and about 8ft away from the pin.


...my high went away when i 2 putted lol.

my best shot of the week was on Thursday (only played 9) on #7 Par3 slighty up hill from 147yds out, used my 8 and placed it roughly 8ft away from the pin....settled for Par though.....

Last Thursday in my Company League. #8 - 165 yd. par 3. 6 Iron that never left the pin - straight at it the whole time. Landed 15 ft. short, pin high. Drained the putt for my first birdie of the year and won a sleeve of NXT Tours for closest to the pin.

2ns shot on the Par 5 #5 yesterday, 3wood on a rope from 230 to 10'. lipped the eagle, tap in bird.

I played my best round of the year yesterday. If not for driving a ball too far and too straight on the first hole it would have been my first sub 40 on that course. I putted very well and was strong off the tee. I also narrowly missed a birdie chip and a 30 footer for birdie on back to back holes. Both balls ended within 3 inches of the cup. The best however came on the toughest hole on the course. In fact I mentioned it in a thread last week about holes that always get me. I hit a perfect tee shot that left me 210 out. My second missed just short and a little right. After a mediocre chip I was about 10 feet left and 5 feet above the hole on a green that slopes severely to the front. I aimed about 4 feet above the hole and tried to die the ball on that spot. It hit exactly where I aimed and released perfectly down the slope into the cup for my first par on the hole in two years. I followed that with pars on the next 4 holes. En route to a 40 after playing a provisional on the first. If only I could have hit my provisional ball first I would have finished with a 38.

I don't know what my best shot today was. I hit a lot of pretty good shots followed up by some birdie putts.

[doublesuited77]

5-iron from a fairway bunker 178 yards out that landed 2 feet behind the pin and immediately checked up.

#17 at The Willows, yesterday. I found myself about 10 yards to the right of the green on a severe downhill lie with a sand trap between me and the hole. I figured, what the heck, and tried this . Worked like a charm - lobbed it to 10 feet and holed the putt for the best par this year. My buddy was like "No F-'en way...", and no one else can believe it. Just really lucky, I guess. The lie was more severe than in the video, though.
