Hardest shot in golf

[Svenska]

Any hole that requires a cut, I simply cannot do it with long clubs. There's a par 5 that is tree lined by the tee and it's nigh on impossible for me to use enough club from the tee without careering in to the trees right as my natural shape is a hefty draw 6/10. The other 4/10 is a straight ball with a touch of draw but there's no way of guaranteeing that when I step on that tee. I have been known to take a 5 iron and just bunt one down and carry on from there, bloody nightmare.

They're impossible. At least with shots over water you have a chance, or can lay up, what's your option here? Unless you get incredibly fortunate and pull it off, which for someone of my limited ability is never going to happen, you're having another in the bunker.

This is the shot I was thinking and sometimes it's even steeper than that!!! actually got me thinking- in competitions this year I think there may be merit in going sideways or back into play instead of mucking up and being 3 out the bunker

Bunkers for me at the minute. Hate the things.

That is the thing to do. You don't be in that position too many times. It'd like being behind a tree. Get it back in play. Preferably off grass.

Can I add more than one? Hitting the ball above my feet, particularly if it ideally needs to go a long way. I play on an undulating course and often have to do this. Never cracked it yet. I follow what the coaches in the magazine tell me but it can still go left, right and very occasionally straight. I hate that shot.

The first tee shot with a new group and you proceed to do an almost air shot, nobble the ball off the tee peg to much of your new PP's laughter. Get given a mulligan and proceed to par the hole....

Ball below the feet

I hate chips and pitches from bare lies.

 

[Scotty Cameron]

The high draw, " I hate the high draw" as Lee Westwood puts it, and I have to agree. Especially firing to a top left pin position with a couple of bunkers at the front of the green

 

[robert.redmile]

that's a really easy question.

the chip out sidewards, when there is the opportunity to play a 60 yard cut, 170 yards across water, that you know would be amazing if you made it (but never do, therefore you have to grit your teeth and play the sidewards chip with all your mates taking the mick....)

 

[Puter Putter]

Any long range Driver shot over awkward bunkers, I always seem to find them!

Stabbing the ball with a 7 iron doesn't look right from comfort of my armchair! For me...sand wedge, square face, hit a bit down, drive hands forward through the ball...

+1 - especially with no room to work with.

same with muddy just off the green lies for me.

 

[drewster]

It will be my opening tee shot at Alwoodley. Forum meet debut and a course i've always wanted to play and hope to do justice !!!

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

The one I have just cocked up !!

 

[Fyldewhite]

The 40 yard bunker shot.....especially if you need to carry another greenside bunker.

 

[Slab]

Two answers

Long carries can beat me up too often

2nd answer is

Any shot that you need to hole for a single point (outside of tap ins obviously)

 

[Doon frae Troon]

One iron off a tight downhill lie with a strong left to right wind.

 

[cookelad]

most feared would probably be an easy wide open first fairway in front of a large group of interested spectators !

A mate of mine played St Andrews stood waiting on the first tee with a gathering crowd behind him said it was incredible how that fairway narrowed the nearer he got to the tee!

My answer - The second 2 foot putt!

haha, cant believe how much stick I got for giving you that mulligan :rofl:
