What was your Shot of the Day?

[Brian A 1,000]

Playing in a 2 man scramble past weekend. I had a shot of the day as did my partner.

 

mine: were about 15 yards off the green, were walking to ball, halfway my partner says to me “you forgot your putter” my reply, won’t need it... chipped it in (in all reality I did forget to grab putter)

were on the 18th I shank my shot in to trees on right, partner in water. He wanted to take the drop because we’d have to hit a low stinger out of trees, downhill, over said water and stop it. Of course I chunk mine. He has the look that he’s going to kill me, hits the perfect stinger under the trees, over the water in to the hillside of front of green pops straight up and last 6 in from pin.

This was my tee shot on number 12, a 148 yard par three.  The green is elevated, so we didn't get to see the ball finish.  No idea how the ball ended up this close, directly behind the hole, without going in.  Still, a tap in birdie.

Isn't it obvious you zip the back a few feet right . Ok maybe not give that wind but great shot

it was definitely nice to see coming up to the green on 18. the rest of the holes just had flags with the course logo. 

this is quickly becoming my favorite local course. well maintained, right along the water, challenging when the wind is up. just a fun round of golf.

I started out hitting the ball pretty well, had good birdie looks on 1 and 2, beautiful drive on 3 and pulled 6 iron into a trap where I drew a crappy stance outside the bunker, ball in and below my feet - double.

Another birdie look on 4 and finally broke through when I rolled one in from 15 feet on 5 - totally turned tge round around for me.

Just saw Rahm hit a chip while standing in the bunker, ball about waist high, choked down on the club, aimed way right of the ball. Wolff had a similar shot in the US Open.

I had one today like it on the second hole. As I was walking to it, I was coming up on the back side of it and couldn’t see the lie, but assumed it was not going to be good. I was talking about it and said to one of my playing partners it was going to be buried and “nipple high”.

When I got around there it was sorta buried in 4” deep grass but it was much thinner along the club path and only belly button high. I aimed about 30° right and struck it almost perfectly, it came out perfectly but a little hotter than I expected and hit the hole and flag but lipped out to inside a foot.

I said, I thought I’d made it. He looked at me and said I couldn’t do it again. I said it wasn’t that hard of a shot, because the lie was actually good. I also explained that I didn’t mean I could hit the hole, but was sure I could get it close. He said I couldn’t do it again in 50 tries. I dropped another ball and hit that one to about 30”.

Wedges were awesome and horrible, but I touched the hole on 4 chips and pitches and had one go in for a birdie. I also chili dipped one and bladed 2 others. So typical short game.

I played 36 holes this weekend. Best driver weekend since 2016. However, irons were awful. Wedges were as described, and putting was just okay. Didn’t miss any short ones and made 1 long putt. Most looked good until the last foot and then turned. Lots of 2 putts, no three putts. Lots of up and downs.

Was 146 yards out from the light rough on my second shot on a par 4. Could have tried to hit a 9 iron, but felt 8 iron was a more conservative choice. Hit a towering 8 iron that landed dead in its tracks on the green. Actually spun back a bit, thats the ball mark to the right. Knocked in an easy 3 footer for birdie.

150 ish 7 iron for my first ever hole in one...

came from back there over the water and the high lipped sand trap 

and went over the pin into the little hill to  the upper tier of the green, and spun back down into the cup!

VERY Nice!  I've been trying to get one for the past 30 years.

Well it did take me 54 years, so you’ve still got 24 years of cushion!

[Sluggo42 6,032]

If not for my “other” shot of the day, this one was going to be it...

an absolutely perfect driver strike, with a nice little breeze at my back to give me this... oddly, I don’t recall that thick fog everywhere else besides this one fairway...

[Peaksy68 3,880]

Congrats @Sluggo42 . Did your long ball come after the hole in 1?
