Best Shot of the Week

[CarlSpackler]

This was not my shot, but...

Bubba Watson pounded his pink shafted driver 360 down the middle of number 2 at the memorial yesterday. I guessed it to be 360 when he hit it, but Shotlink later revealed that it was only 358. Shame he didn't get the birdie after that. I suppose Tiger's shot into 18 was pretty cool too.

that shot by byrd yesterday when he decided to lay up instead of shoot over the water, it had the super backspin that stuck and rolled right into the hole. Had it missed the hole that spine would of taken him a good 30 feet away from the hole. Put him 2 strokes in the lead instantly. (then tiger took over) either way, that shot put my jaw on the floor

i duffed my driver to the front of the teebox about 5ft away...
pulled 3w and incredible hulked it to withing 30yrds... pulled my 52 wedge and birdied the chip when i thought for sure i was gonna double that hole...
guys i was playing with chuckled at the drive... but thought i was sandbagging after the bird... lol

148 yards, downhill about 25 feet to a pin on the front right part of a green.

I hit what I'd call a punch squeeze fade with an 8I. Came off just about perfectly, landed six feet short and two feet left of the hole, took one hop two feet right and sat down. Made the putt, too, which always helps.

[bogeyhitter25]

5 iron to about 30 feet. Played consistent today.

[Sandplay]

Pulled out the driver on a 300 yard par 4 and hit one of my best drives and almost got to the green. Which left me with a simple chip on.

[flopdarock]

had 3 really good shots today... but the worst of the 3 resulted in a birdie...
pushed a shot pin high next to the cartpath... pulled my 52 and thinned it like nobody's business... got really upset with the shot... it carried about 5 inches... rolled into a depression... rolled up the fringe... onto the green... off the flagstick... into the hole... and to think i got mad for topping a birdie opportunity... lol

[CarlSpackler]

Easy 8i from the rough, 3rd shot on a par five, flew right at it and rolled out to 2". I was that close to my first eagle. It was the only decent shot I hit all night.

[EngineerGolfer]

My 3I on the last hole of my match last night. With darkness closing in, from about 175 to a back pin, hit it pure as could be to about 10 ft and lipped out the birdie putt.

I had two pretty great (for me) shots this morning on my 9 holes before work.

I have been struggling to get my driver both "far" and "straight" and today I managed to get it together for one shot on a 350yd par 4 and managed to leave myself with a small wedge shot to the green. I dont have a GPS but judging by the course markers I think I got it for about 270yds!

The very next hole I managed to knock one in with a lob wedge from some serious rough up to the green to a hidden cup. I chipped it up, knew it was close and didnt find it in the cup until after I had given up searching on the backside on the green thinking it had rolled too far.

Not too bad for a quick 9 holes after about 7 weeks from picking up the game! I'm excited to get out there tomorrow!

[lobsterzilla]

hit a 8 iron on a 156 yard par 3 to 4" :x ... and knocked a 80 yard Gap wedge to less than 3 ft.

rest of my day was pretty worthless.

[eeLad]

About 75 yards out on a botched tee shot on a par 3, I put it about a foot from the pin to save par. It was quite satisfying.

Lucky/Good Recovery Shot #1: On a 160-yard par 3, I hit a 7-iron the perfect distance, but my shot just drifted right at the end to a terrible result: a plugged lie atop a mound, 20 feet to the hole, all downhill, and with no green to work with. I played a little blade shot, trying to just tap it below the equator of the ball, to pop it out of its mark. The ball popped out, dribbled down the mound, and just burned the lip at the finish, allowing me to salvage par.

Lucky/Good Recovery Shot #2: I pulled my tee shot on another par 3 well right of the green. I was hole high with a clear path for a bump-and-run, but a safety net to catch wayward shots from reaching the adjacent road inhibited my backswing. Thus, I was forced to abbreviate my takeaway and accelerate harder through the ball, which made it very hard to gauge distance. Luckily, I got it just right, and the chip rolled to within 18 inches for another tap-in par.

[CarlSpackler]

First shot on par 3 landed short and rolled back to edge of water. With an awkward stance, I pitched it up to inches and saved par.

Yes, it was slim pickings this week.

[Wazzu8]

Bunker Shot on 8: Got into the sand on two on this greenside bunker. I try to blade chip because I do not know how to hit bunker shots that well. It hits the top of the sand and rolls back to the same spot. I now do what I was kind of taught last year, it gets on the green and rolls right in the hole. Part of my 82 best round.

[dannymac63]

Only one round of...well...10 last week. More of a solid hole than any particular shot, but it was my first time at the course. Walked up to a par 3 first hole, about 175-180, I stuck my tee shot to about 8 feet with a solid full swing with my 5. Hit the putt, dead center. Thankfully it was really wet out, otherwise I would have been playing from the other side of the green.

This wouldn't be incredibly crazy, except I have an established history of nerves and missed opportunities on first holes.

[BenR]

Got to a 538 yard par 5 in 2 via a 3 Iron from 240. Missed a 3 foot putt for birdie. Ugh.

[flopdarock]

been playing absolute horrendous golf lately...
but i had one good shot today...
#13 par3 213... water on the near left and a lake on the right of the hole with bunkers between the water and the green...
5yrd fade with 3h hitting the damn trap rake between the bunker and the fringe... leaving my ball 2 grass blades away from dropping back into a deep greenside bunker...
i had no way of getting any kind of stance and was teetering pretty dangerously...
i faced the hole... heels to the edge of the trap and with a bowling type stroke tapped my pw about 3 ft to the hole and got my one and only par
