Best Shot of the Week

[CarlSpackler]

I had a 10' putt for par that broke about 1.5' to the right that trickled in. I had another from 8' came in the back door for bogey.

[Smiffy]

Our 8th hole, 385 yard par 4, elevated green with a small stream in front of it.
I'd hit a "so so" drive but carved it right and was under some fir trees. Ball was sitting nicely but I had very little room for a backswing, and even less for the follow through. About 150 to go and I had to keep the ball low to avoid hitting some overhanging branches. Pulled out my 4 iron, gripped down low and hooded the face a little. Couple of practice swings and hit it. I knew the minute I had made contact that it was good, but it turned out better than that. Stayed low under the branches, cleared the stream, hit the bank in front of the green and kicked up to within a foot of the hole for a birdie. That has to be the best shot I have ever played in over 20 years of golf. My playing partner couldn't believe it especially when I followed that up with a 40 foot putt for birdie on the following hole! We had been all square up until the 8th, and the fight just went out of him.

[WUTiger]

Narrow straight-away 398-yard par 4, hitting into a funnel.

Tee shot catches overhanging branch, bounces ball into right rough, about 200 yards out. Punch 3-iron back to fairway, stopping 80 yards from green.
Green has uphill false front, plus we have a quartering headwind blowing toward greenside bunker. SW goes back into the bag.
So, I hit a 6-iron pitch and run , which catches the hollow just in front of the green, and runs up to two feet above the pin.
Tap in the putt for a par.

(It was a wild day. I had five pars but couldn't break 90.)

[right handed phil mickelson]

PW from about 112 out, wind in face, pin in back. Playing about 130. Hit it perfect. Bounced right in front of the pin, rolled, and stopped about 1 foot past it. I don't know how it didn't go in.....

I'll take the birdie though.....*sigh*......

First time playing a course yesterday. Get to the 17th hole and hit my tee shot. Lost it in the sky and noticed that the group ahead of us had come back around the front of the green. Saw a guy jump over my ball as it was headed to the green. Went to the cart to see the yardage on the card.....only 270. The ball ended up two feet on the opposite side of the cup. Eagle.
If I'd been paying attention and noticed that the hole was so short with a pond to the left of the green, I would have never hit driver there. Oh well. Instead...I made my first eagle of the year (have missed putts on at least 5 this season).

par5 18th 513 dogleg left
i got ahold of one today... elevated teebox... teed it up lower than usual... even stood a lil closer to the ball than usual... stepped really hard into my left side... swung for the fences... hit an absolute laser that looked like it didnt get more than 15-20ft in the air... fw was undulating so i lost sight of it... but i hit it straight straight... so i drove down the fw... couldnt find my ball... even backtracked... still couldnt find it... drove over another undulation way farther than i ever thought i could reach and there it was right smack in the middle of the fw...
friends gps said 322... we even had to pick it up and make sure it was my mark on the ball... hahaha... that thing musta rolled forever

[wedge player]

par 5 17th smashed a drive had 160 left pulled out my 8 iron with a 15 mph right to left wind put it to 3 feet 4 inches made the eagle

[Shindig]

Yesterday, at the range, I hit a 4-hybrid that rolled up to the 210 post. My instructor saw it, too. I remember when I couldn't hit driver that far.

Of course, that's not my new 4-hybrid distance, but it's nice to know my body is capable of that.

[Brent]

20ish foot putt from the fringe today.

[CarlSpackler]

20' downhill birdie putt on #10. I stroked it and it rolled down the hill and tracked straight into the cup.

[smithy925]

Par 4 7th hit my drive right try to punch a 5 wood under the trees.....hit the trees and go backwards had a 4i left in fro about 200 into wind hit a low rising fade that lands and rolls to around 6 foot

[bogeyhitter25]

Didn't play all that great today. I guess my best shot would have to the 15-footer to save a bogey on #1 today (hit my tee shot in the lateral hazard).

[bjw181]

Played twilight yesterday afternoon. Hit a low pitch from 70 yards for my third on a par 5. Ball bounced twice, checked, and fell into the hole for a very satisfying eagle. Also, handicap dropped by .6.

[flopdarock]

140 out... pin tucked behind a bunker on the left side... thought i hit my 8i super fat but i caught a high flier... bounced once and spun back into the hole for an eagle...

too bad the very next hole i tripled

[CarlSpackler]

3h (normally 200 yards) from 160 into a stiff wind. It landed pin high 8' left. Unfortunately, I lipped out the birdie putt.

[oneF457z]

Not my shot, but my grandfather (83) recorded his first hole-in-one this week on #8 on Okatie Creek in Bluffton, SC. It also happens to be the EXACT same hole that I got my first (and only so far...) hole-in-one 10 yrs ago! I thought that was pretty cool.

We've both got some catching up to do, as my twin brother has 3, and my dad has two.

[bogeyhitter25]

Gauged an 8i from about 140 straight uphill out of thick, thick rough to about 20'. Easy 2 putt par.

[jharrell]

I was playing in a scramble last weekend, we came up to a 360 yard par 4 with a sharp dog leg right, thick woods with 25-30 foot high trees separating the tee box from the green. I cut the turn, going directly over the trees. We were shocked to see my ball sitting on the fringe about 20 feet from the pin.

One of the most memorable tee shots I've had.
