Poor round.....incredible shot

[golf_bug]

Played 18 this afternoon and was generally poor...but I think I hit the best shot of my life. It was my 3rd shot into a par 5. Wind in my face, 160 to go and I absolutely crunched a 4 iron. I knew as soon as I hit it that it was a good un....ended up about 6ft from the hole, but only made par.

I don't think I have ever hit as pure an iron shot as that.......may be I never will again!

What shot do you take most pleasure from when it comes off?

Good times, remember the good ones next time you are faced with something similar.

For me a.t.m. it's got to be distance judgement with my wedges. I had 5 yesterday on the 85-100 distance. Rather than just going for the centre of the green, I went for the flags and adjusted my swing to take into account whether the flag was front or back. I hit them all spot on and converted 4 out of the 5 for birdies. Birdied both the par 5s, the short par 3 and a medium par 4, all set up by spot on yardage with either GW or PW.

4 birdies?....me?....yes, and almost made 6.

Golf_bug, the good news is that 4 iron won't be a once in a lifetime shot and there will be others as good if not better.

Dave,
Thats where the scores are made, from around 100 yards and in. If you can get your wedges to sing it does make birdie chances easier to convert.

Keep playing and you will do one again, maybe more often than you think. As for the shot I get most pleasure from when it comes off?...........Everytime I hit the ball exactly, how I planned it, how I saw it in my mind and get the results I expected from it.

Hitting a 2-iron blade dead centre, regardless of direction or distance. No better feeling than that!
