What was the best shot of your latest round, the one that stands out in your mind. Regardless of your score, there is always one shot that's worth bragging about. Well here’s a chance to brag a little and tell us about it.

Saturday, my 1st 9 I chucked my 5 iron off the tee. Ball ended up 95 yards from the flag. Sand wedge into the wind, caught it absolutely perfect, flew the green and went ob. Dropped a 2nd ball same spot, sand wedge again, this time I made sure the ball was in the center of my stance and didn't swing as hard. Dropped that on 2 feet from the hole, ball ended up 6" from the ball mark.

My HIO of course. Besides that. Par 5 dog left. Pulled my drive left and had just enough room away from the fence to make a swing. Had a line of tall trees down the whole left side of the fairway up to the green. Hit a towering 3 iron with a baby fade from about 200 yards over the trees onto the green.

This season? 208 yard slightly uphill par 3…30’ish mph direct headwind…pulled driver and hit it to 2 feet…missed the birdie putt…😂😂

Sort of like today where I only carry 4-5 clubs and had 185 into a breeze on a par 3 with trouble in front. I had a 7 iron and a driver. 7 iron I’d be in the crap. So I took my driver which I normally carry 260 and tees it high, ball up in my stance, easy swing and hit a high cut to the back part of the green

My most memorable shots are usually terrible, not that I hit that many great ones, but I rolled in a 20 footer for par last week that broke about 2 feet.

The most recent was yesterday. Had ~ 180 in and hit my 5 wood to 4 feet. Made birdie on the number 1 handicap hole. Did something similar on that hole last week.

I’ve always said it’s the great shots you hit that resonate the most. Scores come and go. I can clang the ball around the course for a decent score. Great shots are memorable.

I’ll never shoot in the 60’s. But I can hit a great shot here and there that looks like someone who can shoot in the 60’s. Lol

    Back in my pseudo long drive days, I cut the corner on a par 5 and drove the ball on the fringe of a 500+ yard hole. Proceeded to get way too amped, bladed the chip into the pin sent it 20ft off the green, which I promptly chipped back in for eagle.. interesting way to do it, but I never make things easy.

    Last round = tie
    250 yard 3 wood, downwind from slightly elevated tee, center cut.
    Pulled sand wedge through giant tree made of 90% air to 12 feet.

    (Putted with gayazz blue ball. Missed birdie putt, of course, due to above mentioned gayazz ball.)

      Last round didn't go very well at all. I did hit a beautiful high drawing 8i on #16 par 3 though. Under read the break for the birdie putt of course.

      Honestly the best iron shot I've hit in weeks. The yardage was stock 7i, but I was pissed about 3-jacking the last hole for bogey so I went with the 8.

      So I missed the part where it mentioned the best shot of your LAST round.

      Par 5. My layup ended up about 50 yards short of the green. Hole was placed right behind a bunker with a big grass knob on the back of the bunker. Landed my chip right on top of the knob and it rolled down to 4 feet. Made the birdie. It was a tough chip shot that I pulled off exactly how I was trying.

        Not quite the best shot of the round, but three of the best shots of this morning's round came on the last hole - 430 yards, into a very light breeze, played with a solid drive down the middle, short hybrid from 180 yards that was on line all the way and finished 12 feet behind the hole, right-to-left breaking putt that went right in the middle of the hole.

        Today's round....there's this 90* dogleg par 5 on the course we played that drives me crazy. If your drive doesn't
        make it past the corner of the dogleg, you have to play a wedge or something short just to get around the corner
        so you can go at the green.....DUMB design, I know!

        Today my drive made it past the corner, so I hit a real solid 7 wood that got a lucky bounce over a mound and
        rolled onto the green. Can't remember the last time I had a putt for an eagle!!! Of course, I missed it, but then
        I don't make many 2 putt birdies.....!!!

          Mattyv So I missed the part where it mentioned the best shot of your LAST round.

          I think that was edited into the post later, because I was also thinking of my best shot 5 years ago when I first saw this thread in the morning,

              Yesterday's round 30 yards from green, third shot from under a low hanging leafed tree to a raised green. Hooded. a 58* LW off my back foot and punched it off the raised side of the green that popped up and stopped one foot away and made par.

              Short 120 yard par 3. Bladed my tee shot 20 yards past the elevated green, a bit left of the hole, into some thick stuff.

              Maltby Sand Slider to 10 feet and buried the putt for par.

                HybridWood Short 120 yard par 3. Bladed my tee shot 20 yards past the elevated green, a bit left of the hole, into some thick stuff.

                Maltby Sand Slider to 10 feet and buried the putt for par.

                My game in a nutshell.......................🤣

                  I had two birdies today including one on #18 which gave me a 79. However it was the first birdie that was the shot of the day for me. I had a snakey, downhill right-to-left 25-footer for the bird . . . Nothing but cup! 😁

                  Mattyv. Yea, I missed that too. So my best would be the 12 foot putt I made on 18 for birdie. #1 handicap hole, but I don't see how

                    My best shot today was a trap shot. I should confess that I'm not usually very good out of traps, but a few
                    weeks ago I got out my Maltby M-series 56/10 wedge and bent it to 58/12 as an experiment. I also read an old
                    Harvey Penick tip about pointing the butt of the club at your zipper when setting up for a trap shot. It's
                    been working pretty well lately, and today I blasted one to about a foot away to save a par.....

                      fatshot

                      Nice sand save! I struggle for consistency with bunker shots so I'll have to try the Penick tip you mentioned.

                          Supp I think the reason that it works is that it exposes the bounce or rear edge of the wedge
                          better than having your hands ahead of the ball (which I used to do!). That makes the leading edge "dig"
                          into the sand too deep, and (for me, anyway) causes me to leave the ball in the sand! To a guy who knows what he's doing, this is probably "Sand Play 101." For me, it was like "Where has this been all these years???"

                          Good luck with it!

                            Maybe the best 60 yard wedge shot of my playing days. 60 degree wedge, 3/4 swing, proper toupee sized divot, medium trajectory, 10 feet below the hole and stopped quick. It seemed so easy at the time.

                            fatshot

                            Supp
                            I was stuck in a bunker for a few strokes and had a heck of a time. The guy I was playing with saw my pained look and told me his trick.
                            Pretend the ball it on a tee, now hit the tee out from under the ball. It has worked every time for me.

                                  Walterjn

                                  I've heard of that one before. Maybe the next time I'm in a bunker I'll try that combined with the Penick tip. I'll probably end up in the bunker across the green.🙄

                                      Supp it works for me, I was playing with another guy, and he was amazed at how easily I was getting out of the bunker. I told him that tip and he tried it and said that was a far easier tip than what he had been using. Something about a dollar bill behind the ball...

                                          Walterjn I think I like the idea of hitting the tee out more...

                                          That one is good and so is this one:

                                            A scramble for me today, and the best shot came early. 192 yards for our approach into the first hole, wind into off the left, playing last with the best shot so far being about 5 yards short of the green - hit a knockdown 3-wood to 2 feet to give us a fast start. (We ended up with a 3-under 65 (net 61) on a tough day for scoring - the wind picked up significantly after the first few holes, and par was a good score on most holes, even with 4 tries at each shot.)

                                              Saturday afternoon in my 2 broken club 9 hole round I had a fluffy lie with the ball above my feet from about 15 yards out. I took the 64 degree Callaway wedge I picked up from Dan this year, open the face slightly to compensate for the lie and gave it a healthy half swing. The TP5 landed 12" past the hole and spun back 3 feet. That wedge is great around the green. Thank you, Dan.
