Best Shot of the Week

[c4m]

520 yard par 5, I bombed my drive, found my ball right beside the 150 yard marker in the middle of the fairway.. I thought there is no way.. thought I maybe hit the cartpath, but it was only 10 or so yards past the cartpath so I might have gotten a little extra but not much.. I was still skeptical of the distances though because I have never hit one past 310 and there was no slope or wind, the fairways were hard as a rock though so I'm sure that helped a bit. I checked google earth's yardage thing and it was accurate.. but anyways, I hit an 8 iron on to the back of the green with my second shot then miss my eagle putt and miss my birdie put and make par grrrrrr I would find a way to screw up the best drive of my life...I 3 putted 8 times that round and shot 20 over.. if only I could putt worth a damn I'd be in pretty good shape.

175 yard par 3. 5 iron to within 2 feet. Made the birdie putt!

150 yard blind shot with a 7 iron to within 10 feet. Made the put for a par 4.

[flopdarock]

worst set of par 4's ever...
2 dogleg lefts and a dogleg right... lots of traps everywhere with some water thrown in for good measure...
3 approach shots from 125 and less all within 2 ft of the holes for 3 birdies in a row

Last Wednesday, playing Mens night (9holes) with co-worker. After 2 birdies in a row, I was -2 after five holes. Playing the 490yd par 5 sixth hole. I hit my tee shot well, but finished in the rough behind a tree that hugs the right side of the fairway. I only had about 205yd left, but had to hit a low hook to keep it under the tree AND land it soft enough to hold the green. Hit a pured 3-iron punch that finished 20 feet past the pin and almost made the putt coming back

Took my 6 year old to the range. Each shot she took felt like the best one of the week. She's got the bug, and we start lessons in two weeks.

Par 3 hole that I'd never parred before: Since I didn't manage to screw any of them up, then it's a tie between the 5-iron that got me just off the green, the chip that got me within six-eight feet and the putt that fell for the par. Woo-haa.

[Sandplay]

Hit my drive into the trees on a 300 yard par 4 and was right up against a tree. Decided to switch to left handed so i would not hit my club on a tree and hit it quite good nearly to the green i didnt quite get up and down from there but the tap in bogey was good enough.

Ridiculous pitch-in on #11. Pitched a 9-iron about 30 feet to the right of the green and let it trickle down the steeply sloped fairway. Bounced onto the green and somehow rolled in. Awesome birdie.

[bunkerputt]

Hard to say. Either one of:

1. 260 yard 5-wood to a sliver of a fairway (carry+roll)
2. 280 yard 3-wood (carry+roll) to left edge of green on a short par-4
3. 90 yard sand wedge to 3-foot pin-high for a par-save
4. Short-sided, flopped a 60 to 3 feet for a par-save
5. 15-foot putt for a must-make par-save

I focused and visualized really well on each of those shots. That's mainly why I consider them best. They came off exactly like I saw them. People thought I was nuts looking up in the air before I had even hit my ball.

Had a couple, 15 foot putt to save bogey and half the hole. Then hit an 8 iron to within 4 feet and made the putt for birdie to go up 6 strokes. My opponent caught up and we were tied going to 18. He went off the fairway and I hit a monster that went about 275 down the middle and hit a 9 iron to within 10 feet two putted for a par and a 1 stroke win.

2nd shot on a par 4 for left me right of the green in some spinach and short sided to boot. I dropped my 56* softly and steeply in behind ball, it floats up, lands on the fringe, kicks forward, draino. Since I made two ugly shots prior to that, my opponent came unglued and made a triple followed by a nine on the next hole (par 5).

[sonomajake]

Hit the 3 hybrid 210 to get on a 5 in two. Always a good shot.

Mine was actually last sunday. I sliced a drive on a 350 yd par 4 actually drove it into the right rough on the next hole over, left me im guessing about 175 yards to my green from the rough and over the trees separating the 2 holes, i couldnt even see the green from where i was, just knew the general direction. Took my 5 hybrid and nailed the best shot I've hit probably all year, over the trees, over the bunker on the right side of the green and on the green about 15 ft away, 2 putted and got par.

Yesterday had two, both with my MacGregor NVG 9 wood (yeah, weird, but its my best 200 yd club), very windy day.

180 yard par 3, choked all the way down on my 9w and put the ball to 5 feet of the flag after ~6" of bounce. Missed the birdie putt but didn't care.

425 yard par 4, dogleg right, weak drive off the fairway, 200 yd out, 9w to 2 feet of the pin for birdie.

That club earned its position in the bag yesterday.

[max power]

Par 5 yesterday, pulled my drive right next to the woods and had 240 remaining to the pin with water all along the right and partially in front of the green. Decided against laying up for some reason and hit my 16* Cobra hybrid onto the green about 4 feet from the cup, and made the eagle putt. That shot will have me trying stupid stuff on the course for the rest of the summer!

[flopdarock]

after a terribly short chip to the edge of the first cut of green...
pin placement was the very back and i was putting from the front...
easily a 60 footer right to left uphill...
thought i clobbered it and gave up on it too early...
was picking up my wedge and walking to 2 putt when that baby rolled back to the hole after i thought it went well past it

[bogeyhitter25]

Been working on the S&T; swing again to regain my consistency. The holes I used the S&T; I was +2 with 2 GIR, yet 7 putts. The other 5 holes I was +10.

Got off topic. My best shot was a putt on a severely sloping green from about 8 feet. It lipped out really hard, but it lipped out the right way and fell back into the hole.

[Smarf]

I played the course I grew up on for the first time in 20 years...and shot my worst score of 112 thanks to my wicked slice returning and going OB a lot.

However, it was all made up for on the 2nd hole which is a severe dogleg right Par 4, 335 yards. Remember that wicked slice? Curved right around the trees and rolled onto the green. I two putted from 20 feet to get my only birdie of the day.
