Forum poll: what is the hardest shot in golf?

[JustOne]

I went with OTHER.....


330yrd+ drive is the toughest, you don't see that many and unlike other shots they are also quite hard to FLUKE.

other,

from the back of the bunker off a downslope, with the lip hindering the backswing

At 6'8" a thinned shot is a frequent problem. And with the shorted clubs, the more difficult it is for me. So a chip from a bare lie is my most difficult.

Long bunker shots aren't so tough, just take less sand and hit it harder.

Long bunker shots for me.
Mind you with what our pro and I are working on with my swing at the moment plus not being able to get out on the course with it being so wet pretty much every shot at the moment is tricky!

Try to shank on purpose. That's pretty difficult.

Chip from a bare lie for me. Hoping all the chipping practice off range mats might improve that moving forward though. Usually do ok with long bunker shots as I've had it drilled into me to take my medicine and just get the ball out first attempt.

If I had to pick another it would be a shot over water. My golf balls seem to have a strange attraction to the stuff that the manufacturers don't mention in their promotional material...

I can demonstrate that all day long.........once you know how to do it, it's easier to control.

I put down OTHER. TBH I don't see any shot as hard, I take on what I think I can do. So, the hardest shot, if any, is the next one. :smirk:

The one right after you have just shanked it, they tell me it's a pure mare not knowing if it's going to happen again.

Would say long iron over water but this isn't a shot I encounter much. Usually if that is an option there is another safer option that might make GIR impossible but reduces the risk.

Mine is chip over a bunker because my next shot is usually from the bunker.
