Which is better?

[ChetlovesMer]

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? 

[Vinsk]

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

[ChetlovesMer]

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

[Piz]

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.

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.

It does.

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

[HJJ003]

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

[Patch]

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.   

[CaseyD]

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.

Long iron/hybrid for a GIR.

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.
