best bad shot!

[roccokj]

What's your best shot that you hit badly?
I dont think i have any but i'll give an example...you have a long 30ft for eagle etc. You pull the putt badly but it turns out you misread and goes into the hole!

Last time I played I sliced my approach shot on the Par 4 1st, it looked to be in a water hazard but seemed to bounce out (I couldn't be sure from a distance), when I went to have a look the ball had struck a pipe that was only 3 inches wide and bounced out onto the fairway.
About time I had a bit of good luck.

Easy.

First time I played at Gatton Manor

http://www.gattonmanor.co.uk/

I took a 5 iron to the wrong flag. (somewhere on the back 9)

Pulled it badly all of 135 yards (a bit fat too) and found it 2 foot from the flag on the correct green. Holed the putt for my first ever birdie.

A thinned wedge into the green. It actually hit the handle of a rake that was sticking up out of the bunker.Took all the pace out of the ball and it rolled softly to about 6 foot from the hole which i held for a birdie . my playing partner was overjoyed as you could well imagine

I thinned a wedge at the 15th at Temple. Ran along the ground at a great speed destined to be miles over the back and hit the flag full on. It stayed above ground but a tap in birdie

 

[Putting_Green_Pro]

thinned a wedge not near the hole but hit my playing partner, who to be fair was pissing me off

 

[Imurg]

Thinned a 9 iron towards a green that hit a greenside mole-hill. That pushed it onto the green and into the hole - cracking way to get an eagle!!

Not my best bad shot but just a wee while ago there was a prize, R9 driver, for the guy nearest the centre line on the first at royal musselburgh. This is true, the chap that won it hit his ball into the trees for it to come out on the line and win the club.

 

[Owen_Thomas_14]

Overhit 60 degree wedge from about 50 yards down the flag which went straight in for birdie on a par 3(chuncked tee shot lol).

Well to me there are no best bad shots , there are just bad shots that get lucky. The only shot I do that I would remotely consider a good bad shot, is when I try to generate lots of back spin and catch the ball a little too high, get a lower trajectory but tons of spin which stops it being a complete disaster when it reaches the green.
That is just a poor rather than bad hit, anything else is just bad golf, nothing good about it even if I duff one and it hits the flag at 900 mph then drops in the hole, yep I will take the score, but it doesnt make me happy.

And a mole-in-one to boot

This has to be the best one, especially for your first ever birdie x

Played at Wentworth with a couple of pals. On the par three, Mike bladed the ball and stomped off the tee box in disgust as me and Fin watched it scuttle along the fairway, up onto the green and smack into the hole. Mike's first hole in one and he never even saw it

 

[wilsongolf]

it's funny

Not just one shot but three in a row to make par. This occurred about 8 yrs ago during a society outing.
Pulled my drive into the hay, managed to scuttle the ball out of the hay across the fairway into the rough.
Hit an 6 iron but pushed it right towards a tree to the right of the green. Ball hit the tree ran down the branch on to the green and stopped 6 inches from the hole-easy par.
Playing with my best buddy who still reminds me of the flukey shots.

I witnessed what has to be one of the worst good bad ones i have seen just tonight.

I was playing our ninth hole (goswick) and the lad i was playing with hit a thin/knife with what looked like a 4 iron it bounced just short of the road about 40 yards from the green took a huge forward kick and finished 1 foot away!!!

I hit a half decent iron to 6 feet and missed

Mind as the saying goes you dont paint pictures on a scorecard

 

[nomadpaul]

My best bad shot was played on a forum day last year at Cobtree manor and witnessed by a couple of lads on here. A par 3 over a pond that i thinned badly....it took 2 or 3 skips off the water and ended up just off the green and IIRC i got up and down for a par

My best bad shot that saved me a lot of money......

IT was on a society day at Singing Hills Golf Club.

The last hole on I think the lake course, par 3 with a large tree in front left of green, tried to hit over tree on to green. Took my 5 wood and absolutely creamed it but went over tree and right, bounced on path and into car park, bounced once, twice, three times and over back into trees. Car park was pretty full but missed every one! All four of us stood there in jaw dropping silence for what seemed like an eternity! There were some expensive cars in there too.

I took a 6 iron for my 3 off the tee

Society day at Chartham Park. Third hole is a par 3 from an elevated tee, about 145 yards and the hole we usually had the nearest the pin competition on.
Mate of mine thins his 9 iron, it doesn't get very high off the ground, hits a rake in the greenside bunker bounces up and ends up about 3 feet from the pin and he won the NTP prize. Jammy git. Ray Taylor again.....

 

[Fyldewhite]

Seen a guy pull one OB at our 6th only to hit some scaffolding against the building over the fence and bounce back onto the fringe. He then thinned the chip which went at 100 mph across the green and would have gone OB again if the flag had not got in the way. Loud rattle and disappeared into the hole for birdie.
