Feeling better now!

Just watched top tour pro Martin Kaymer duff a short pitch shot into a bunker on TV. It's good to know that they can play as badly as us lesser mortals!

 

[ruff-driver]

On one hole he knifes a greenside bunker shot over the back into the clag, welcome to our world :clap:

Yes, stuff like that is oddly comforting, isn't it

What is the worst shot you have seen a tour pro make? My nomination is Retief Goosen completely chunking a short chip shot at a Benson & Hedges Masters.

Jack Nichlaus in the Open at Troon in the 80's. Misses the par 3 green by a few yards. Duffs his chip a foot....

I saw Alvaro Quiros fluff one into a bunker on the 1st at Wentworth in person. Unlike us amateurs though, he jumped into the bunker, and made the up and down look incredibly easy. Was pretty surreal to see a Tour pro do it in person though, really wasn't expecting it.

The tom kite special, after this shot there was a guy hobbling about with three adams apples

Didn't Rory do an air shot during a comp about 2 years ago?

Sorry if he's reading this and it wasn't you, if it was you and you did do it... haha

 

[North Mimms]

Yep, we can all play like Pros when they do stuff like this!

I certainly wouldn't want too many spectators around me when I'm teeing off, for their own safety!

Hunter Mahan duff in the RC

For sure.

Same for me, nerves plus a lack of ability #danger

When I first started playing my mum bought me "Jimmy Tarbuck's nightmare holes of golf" for Christmas one year on video. It showed a clip of Ian Woosnam topping 3 shots in a row at the Scottish Open.

In terms of the worst time and place I'd say Costantino Rocca's chip to the 18th in the Open at St Andrews in 1995.

 

[need_my_wedge]

This one probably sits high on the list

I must admit I do cherish seeing these superstars duff shots every now and again.

Wasn't that what kept Henrik Stenson from using his driver for a long time? I heard he almost had nightmares about hitting a spectator off the tee, even though it never happened.

This was a doozy

Always something reassuring to see a pro hit a howler. Poulter has been known to hit the odd shank or three but it's the duffed short game that restores my faith that the golfing gods do sometimes even the score
