Best Shot of the Week

[bmckenna]

I dropped a 45 foot right to left uphill putt during a work outing that left everyone calling me "Tiger" for the rest of the day.

I had a bunch of poor shots yesterday... but I did manage to make a few good swings. Two shots stood out for me as solid shots for me, though:

1. My 4th hole of the day... I was sitting left of the fairway with about 120 to the pin. I made a good swing from a sidehill lie (ball below my feet) and the ball lifted and seemed to hang in the air forever. When it landed on the green... it was about 15 feet left of the hole, but the slope of the green carried it closer and closer and it finished about 6 feet from the hole. I missed the birdie putt badly, but made the 3 footer for par.

2. My 15th hole of the day... a downhill par 3 listed at 143 but playing a little LONGER because the wind was in our faces. My 8 iron started out just a little left of the hole and the wind moved it a bit right. The ball hit and popped back a few inches. It ended up 9 feet - 2 inches from the hole... but JUST outside the winning closest-to-the-pin shot. Again, I missed the putt... but tapped in for par.

Had a bunch of good shots on Saturday....

Shot of the day... Pitched 40'ft into cup on a par5 to save bogey :(

4 shots come to mind. All with long irons, two from the tee and one from the fairway and one from left of the fairway. First a 180 yard 4 iron onto the green within 15 feet with a beautiful draw. Second was a 5 iron from left of the fairway with a severe uphill lie to a 160 yard green over water. Put it to 20 feet. I missed both the birdies though.

Both of the next two were 3 irons from the tee. First was on a short par 4 350 yards with a perfect low draw and using the right to left downhill fairway put it to 120 yards from the green. Second 3 iron was on a long par 3 216 yards but it's downhill so it plays about 200 maybe a touch more. I hit it a tiny bit thin but put it on the front fringe.

My best shot over the weekend was probably my second shot on a par four. You see, I topped my drive shot and it rolled maybe 30 feet. I know, quit laughing! lol, anyhow, my second shot I drove it 3 feet from the cup and followed it with a birdie. I also sank a 25 foot putt but I still say that second shot was better.

Man, I have to go a little further back since I haven't played in about 4 years but it was a tournament during high school and the hole was a long par 4 and I got it in two shots.. I was simply floored because I didn't think the ball went it. From where I was it looked like the ball overshot the green when i made my second shot.

I had a good 40 foot putt to make for birdie. Putt was down hill at the edge of the green. I put the ball 2 feet next to the cup. Easy tap in for par.

my best shot was on the 18th hole at one of our local courses, i dropped a 60 foot put to stay at 99 strokes for the day!

I had my first ever hole in one last saturday. 110 yds with a gap wedge. HOORAY!

Bill was $136.....

5 iron on an uphill lie to a very tricky dome shaped Donald Ross green. 18th hole no less, and yes, I made the birdie.

I haven't had an amazing shot this week. Although on a par 3 course I hit a great shot with my 8 iron with backspin that finished less than 3 ft. I was very pleased that i made the putt. I knoq I'm not great but I'm hoping to practice a lot over the summer.

This past Sunday I was on hole #7 at Sterling Farms in Stamford, CT. I was in the trees on the right (sliced my drive) about 125 out, ended up punching out a 5 iron through some large trees and rolled it up to the hole (1 foot away). Walked away with a bird. Greatest shot of my week for sure.

Second time on my current bases course, 18th hole needed a 16' putt to force a mini playoff. Had a nice cutback and had just enough power behind it to roll in.

Played in a charity 4 man scramble Monday. I literally hadn't swung a club in 3 years. Set up on the tee with my driver. Swung once and completely missed the ball. Took a step back and then hit it straight about 225 yards. It was one of my few shots we used.

chipped in from 15 yards to save bogey.

Best shot of the week for me was a drive that I shot using my cleveland hibore 11.5 driver 225 yards straight as hell

Shot of the day.

Hit my sandwedge over a huge tree. It was the smart yet still risky play that helped me save boggie.
