Best Shot of the Week

[garch]

On a long 420 yard par 4, slight dog-leg left, I push my drive over to the next fairway, leaving me about 250 to the flag - although I had a decent line straight in, and the green sits in a bowl giving me some insurance.

Grabbed my 3 wood and hit it as sweet as I can off the deck - flew like a beauty and came to land 5 yards from the green. A safe chip and two putt remained for a satisfying bogey on a hole I normally do a lot worse on..

Playing The Club at Viniterra, 462yd Par 4 #2 handicap hole. Wind is at my back, hit a decent drive that's fading and barely gets over bunkers right, carrying 270yds. Second is 190yds to middle, pin is up. Wind is steady at my back and there is probably an 50ft elevation change to the green. Hit smooth 7iron to 5ft. Made the putt. I was having a horrendous round to that point...saved the day for me.

Little bit of a 16th hole at Masters moment. Hit a 270 yard right up the fairway to within 30 yards of the pin. Put my chip over the river to 8 feet, and misread the putt. Hung out on the right hand side, and me and my friend couldn't believe i hadn't holed the birdie. We both looked right down at the ball, and he said 'It's moving, it's moving!!!'. I started the famous commentary of that chip on the 16th: 'OH MY GOODNESS...... WOW! In your life have you seen anything like that!' The ball dropped just in time before it would have to have been marked. At one point, i am 100% sure that ball was still.
So birdied that hole, on the way to my record round of 82, on a par 71 course. :)

I got a birdie. I mean literally. My tee shot hit a bird flying by about 100 yards down the fairway. It wasn't even in a flock, just a single bird who picked the wrong time to cross in front of me. It didn't die immediately but it can't be doing well today.

Par 4,my drive layed to rest right alongside a tree.The tree was in such a way that i had to strike the ball back out side ways towards the farway but big Hook/draw toward the green,this was only 100 yards out and the ball landed on the fringe,very pleased,3 putted for bogie..

Sliced a 3 wood on a short par 5. Was about 30 yards right and short of the green with a tree 5 yards in front of me. Delofted a 7 iron, took 1/4 swing and watched the ball fly low under the tree branches hit the front fringe and roll 20 feet past the hole leaving myself a chance for birdie. It was the first time for me that I was able to hit a low stinging shot like that and land it on the green. Felt good

I've really been working on solid contact, feeling like I'm 'dragging' the club through impact rather than flipping with the hands, which is my tendency.
I had a sidehill lie (ball below feet) from about 135 yards, and decided to hit 9 iron (not trying to kill it) and concentrate on posture and contact. As the ball went flying over the back of the green (about 150 yards) I was both pleased and mad!
It was probably the most solid short iron feel I've had in a long time.

I totally nailed my 150-yard approach shot on the par four seventh to within 8 feet ; just missed the birdie putt, but tapped in for par

[HerdGolf]

The best shot I've managed is to almost kill the poor range kid picking up balls. Sweet 5 iron poor kid

[McGolf-Doggie]

Probably not something special to most of you, but i got pretty excited...

I love those TM Rac MBs -- hit em right and the feel is exquisite, so I get your excitement .. and a nicely placed shot on top of that is double the reward.

[freddy]

I hit a drive that looked like it was headed over the net at Chelsea Piers

[flopdarock]

reached the fringe of a long par5 in 2 with a money 4w shot

[delaloi]

Long downhill par 3, water left, into strong wind. Nice 5-iron lands just short in hollow in front of green. Others in foursome wet and in the trees. Pitch and run uphill, right to left, bit of check, into the hole for a 2. Others in the group were 5, 5, 6.

[Anderskins]

I holed one yesterday on # 15 from about 65 out for Birdie after a helacious duff was about 95 out, made the day that much prettier!

[Dad-2-3]

I'm not sure about the best of the week because it's only Tuesday, but I hit a memorable shot today. On a dog-leg left par 4 with a 3h off the tee I hit it left and short of the dog leg. Low tree limbs and trees absolutely had me dead to the green. I put a 4i back in my stance and hit the ball exactly how I wanted to. Low below the limbs and about a 40 yard hook to about 20 yards from the green. I got up and down for par.

[alisdair]

I hit a straight-draw on 16 which put me in the left trees, with 190 to the pin. There was a decent gap, so I punched a 4 iron through, which chased up nicely to the front fringe. Holed the 50 footer for birdie.

[Gioguy21]

hit a crappy drive to the left side rough of a dogleg right par 4 which left me 190 to an uphill two tiered green with the pin in the back...hit my 5 iron off the flag stick for a 1 inch putt for birdie :)

[sweeney who]

My best shot last week was with a sand wedge. Got it on the green from about 80 yards out. :)
