What's your favorite shot in golf?  

27 members have voted

  1. 1. Which is your favorite shot in golf?

    • A perfectly struck driver ideally leaving your foursome 40 yards behind.
      3
    • A perfectly struck long iron, cruising toward the center of a distant green.
      16
    • A perfectly struck fairway wood, (or hybrid) sailing toward reaching that par 5 in two. (If you hit irons into par 5's in two, blow me.)
      2
    • An impressive wedge shot or chip from off the green that finds the bottom of the cup.
      3
    • A sand shot from a greenside bunker that gets you up and down to save par.
      0
    • A long putt that finds the bottom of the cup and makes your playing partners gasp.
      2
    • A fairway bunker shot?????
      0
    • Some other shot I didn't mention... maybe the first shot at the 19th hole?

This is a throw away survey. There are no right answers and it's in no way controversial.

In my opinion there isn't anything better in golf than a perfectly struck drive that's flying powerfully down the fairway. But perhaps you disagree. What's your favorite shot? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Definitely long iron for me. Probably the least frequent I get to enjoy as well (the Golf Gods have ensured that for me).

Oops, I think I forgot to put short iron in there as an option.

For me...it is the shot that materializes exactly as I imagined.  It can be a drive, a putt, or anything in between.  Typically...the longer the better.  A longer shot gives you more time to enjoy it.  With that in mind...my favorites include the landing and roll-out.  I've never had a hole in one, or holed out from the fairway, but I'd bet the memory lasts forever.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

The poll shouldn’t be multiple choice right?

I'm not sure it matters. I just made it that way in case somebody feels equally excited about stripping a drive as holing a long putt. It's just a little noncontaversial conversation starter.

Lot of good options but I chose drive. When I’m driving it well I’m usually playing well.

I chose long iron, but really it’s any iron or full wedge that lands where (or close to) I wanted it.

Although I like any shot that I strike well, that also lands near my chosen targeted area, my all time favorite is my flop shot up to +/- 60 yards. The shorter the better. 

It's a very easy shot for me to pull off anytime I try it.

I voted long iron but it’s a tough call between the long iron and fairway metal.  In my opinion two of the hardest clubs to strike well.

Since I haven't been able to muster up any of the first 3 lately, I voted for the holed wedge or chip shot. I did that about a month ago, I think. I thought it was impressive at the time.

Driver.

No one's talking about Cam Champ's iron shots or any other shots. 

Of course, putt for dough.

My favorite to strike isn't the same as my favorite to watch. Putt for dough is dead.

My favorite is a perfectly struck long iron towards a tough pin and it just sticks. Drives are great but thats a norm for me to be way past.

Tell that to Spieth, Woods and everyone else on tour.

No need. They know exactly what I’m talking about.

Putting is the least important of the four main categories.

And… I wrote a book in the subject.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
