Best Shot of the Week

[right handed phil mickelson]

Today on the 7th hole I chipped in for par. It's a 292 yard par 4 dogleg 45º right with a 50-yard-across lake about 20 yards in front of the green. Hit a nice smooth punch 5 iron to only get it 190 out there so I could have 100 yards in for my second shot. Instead, kind of pulled it a bit into the left rough and now I have about 160 yards to the green. Wind in my face. Looks like a perfect 8 iron. So I take my 8 out but I chunk it......I'm praying to god it gets over the water. Ends up bouncing off one of the rocks on the bank before the green and bounces a little forward right over the rocks. Theres a patch of bushes (more like vines, with sunflowers) right where my ball landed. I tried to punch out onto the green but only managed to move the ball about 1 foot. Ball was out of the flowers, but not even close to the green and was in a chunk of dirt I took up with my club. I said to myself "this would be hilarious if I chipped it in...". I just swung and prayed with no practice swing. Hit the ball right in the middle of the mound of dirt, ball came out low and I knew it had a ton of spin and would be pretty good, checked up left, knew it would roll right. I started laughing when the ball was about 10 feet away because I knew it was in. I stood there for a good minute just laughing and leaning on my club before I realized there were people behind me haha. It made my day....but sadly I ended up shooting a 39 on that front 9. Yea that's not going towards my handicap lol...

I was playing a new course with my brother i hit a good drive and then 3 wood on a par 5 which left me with a pitching wedge in which i hit right beside the pin took one hop and stopped i made the small putt for birdie.

I had an unusually nice shot out of the sand and was able to sink my first put.

[Laurentius]

Mine was a week ago:
Very long par 5 550 meters downhill fairway and uphill green. Great drive and average 3 woods gave me 50 meters steep uphill to the hole. I hit a 60 degree wedge that hit the post for almost an eagle. Tapped in for birdie and won my match play........!!!!!

It is a toss up!

I had an awkward bunker shot from the fairway on my second shot on the par 5 first hole. My feet were above the ball by a good three to four feet and I was able to make good contact with the shot which led to a poor third shot which was an 8-iron to the green but then I holed out the 30 yard bunker shot for birdie. I don't recall having two bunker shots on the same hole and making birdie before.

The next one was:

I had 250 yards into the par-5 and I had to hit it over water so I decided to go for it with a 2-iron. My ball landed over the water and I came up about 15 yards short and pitched to about a foot that led to another birdie. This was on the fourth hole.

It was a fun round on a course I'd never played before!

A couple of weeks ago, but the last time I played--

I was 4-5 feet past pin high and 3-4 feet to the right of the green, maybe 20 from the hole-very quick downhill. I picked a spot short and about 12 feet above the hole. The ball hit the spot, had a slight pause, and rolled the 12 feet into the hole for a birdie 3. I had been really sloppy around the greens all day, but this one will bring me back.

[Wahoo]

Sunk a forty-foot putt with a double-break to win 2 skins.

[JonBondi]

a stinger 3 iron against 32 mph wind landed 2feet from the hole

[B Keller]

I made a 40' putt Monday to save par.

Made another of about 30' and rolled a 50' an inch wide and was left with about 18".

Best day ever putting....if only the rest of the game would have cooperated!

Best Shot I Hit: Three shots at the par-5 13th at Sugar Hill Golf Club left me needing a long up-and-down from a greenside bunker to save par. From a level lie in the sand, I made a pitch-perfect blast that landed, one-hopped, and stopped within a foot of the hole. Par saved.

Best Shot Someone Else Hit That Benefited Me: One of my playing partners was an older German gentleman whose all-hybrid set provided little help to his inability to launch a ball in the air. As I was locating my ball in the fairway from the cartpath, I turned to watch him hit his shot from some 100 yards behind me. His shot whizzed by; I heard a crack; I turned to watch a ball scoot further down the fairway. I approached the ball lying where I expected mine to be, only to discover my partner's: his burner actually struck my ball and advanced it 25 yards!

tues... 4w from about 200yrds... 2 hills blocking my view of the green... one hill right in front and the other down the fw a bit... ball sitting down in the first cut of rough... left side of fw...
all i saw was dirt and grass flying in my face... thought i hit it super fat... i asked my playing partner where the heck it went... i ran up the hill and saw my ball sitting pin high on the green

On the second hole at my club, I hit a hook onto the next door fairway. When getting to the ball one of the four ball coming towards me commented 'I won't ask where you were aiming for', or something similar. They all then stood within about 10 feet of me whilst I played off of their fairway.

With about 200 yards to the flag, a tree line to negotiate and plenty of pressure on, I took my go-to 3 hybrid and absolutely crushed it to 6 feet.

The same guy just murmerred 'wow, good shot'. I just smiled, took my putter out and walked on by..

[ScfdRookie]

Hit a bucket in the golf dome today, that was nice!

[Gioguy21]

Saturday had a 60* lob wedge, 73yds out with a tight pin over a bunker guarding the front right side of the green to within a foot tap-in for birdie :) (first round this year, was a stellar 42*) lol

[cmc#5]

117yd par3 off the tee with a PW, landed on the green about 20ft right of the pin...then three putted :(

[Neco]

Hole in one on number 11 at Northcliff Golf Course in San Antonio.

98 yard par 3.

It was magical. =-D

[nsorensen124]

130 yard iron shot off a slight hill. I put it down on the green and it rolled within 5 feet of the pin for a nice birdie puttie. That made my day.
