Best Shot of the Week

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.
    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.
