The Worst Shot you've ever hit ???

[Big_Rick78]

Not me, but my mate has had a couple.
Few months ago he had tee'd his ball up too high, took his shot, missed the ball, but took the tee out, it was like someone ripping a tablecloth off a table.
And he's hit it backwards before, dont really know how that happened.

A few years ago on the 1st tee on Captains day I hit a perfect Tiger style stinger, it travelled about about 10 yards hit the forward markers, and flew about 60 yards right onto the practise green, oh how the milling masses laughed, for myself I failed to see the funny side.

Not me and technically not a shot but a friend of mine a year ago stood waiting on the tee of the par 5 14th made a comment on how he was gripping the club too tight and needed to relax his grip.

So while he waits he takes a practice swing at the back of the tee only for his driver to fly out of his hands 20 yards into some thick bushes where everyone relieves themselves when they need a pee.

I did suggest to him he may not want to relax his grip that much!

Probably thinning my chip shot across the 18th green at Stockley Park into the lake on the other side.

I've hit so many abominable gold shots in my life it is hard to pinpoint the worst, but right in front of the clubhouse terrace on a warm summers day is never a good move..

 

[Rooter]

I have done a few!

on the first tee at Drayton Park, there is a big leccy plyon. I joked saying watch me slice into it! As if by magic, the slice came and the ball nearly took the other guys heads off as it came back and ended up about 30 yards BEHIND the tee box!

At a forum meet playing with you actually Nick and smiffy and TXL, on the 18th... if you remember i had about 150yrds to go with my 2nd. for some unknown reason (the shot was blind as it was downhill maybe and i wasnt quite at the crest) i took out my hybrid... Absolutely creamed it, but with a huge draw (some people might say hook) It hit a buggy, then the pro shop, then trickled down the road to the putting green... oops! think i still managed net par!! Also on that round i hit a horrible thin slice on the 1st and nearly killed smiffy!!

I have so many more!! so i really wouldn't worry nick!!

There have been so many, but this one is fresh in my memory. 4(6 weeks ago) Par 4, I was in the rough about 300 yards out. ball was sitting up in the rough. I didn't take that into consideration for some reason. I took swing with my 4 Hybrid and the club head went right under the ball. The ball hits off of the top of the club, went 3 yards backwards. It had my spin on it, it did hit and rolled another yard or two backwards. All I could do was laugh

On the Par 5 18th at Belton Woods in Lincolnshire with a lake in front of the green. Needed a par to win and flushed a drive down the middle. Sensible shot was to lay up, pitch over the water and 2 putt for the par. But oh no that's far too sensible. I decided to take my 6 iron and go for it. Absolutely nailed it and watched as it cleared the water, the green and the terrace full of people sitting in the sun enjoying their drinks before hitting the hotel on the full ricocheting around the tables and chairs and ending up in my step mum's handbag. Unfortunately for me she left it there rather than chucking it back onto the green for me. It was probably the best I've ever hit my 6 iron but also one of the worst and most stupid shots I've ever hit.

Has this made me more conservative and take the sensible shot more often. Not at all. Every year back at Belton Woods I still go for that second shot over the water and every year I end up in the lake, in the buggy park or on the hotel terrace. Monkeys learn quicker than me.

 

[bladeplayer]

I witnessed not necessiraly the worst but definatly the strangest shot ive ever seen on sat ...

guy was driving it a mile all day in fairness , but he musta topped it , there was a massive pitch mark in front of his tee & the ball shot backways rolling along the ground ending up about 3 feet behind him ..

To make matters worse he looked down the fairway and asked did any of ye see where that went ?, there was a very brief total silence
followed by howls of laughter ..

A 3 iron with the ball well below my feet resulted in a massive (100 yrds right massive) push fade over the course fencing and bounced off a house. Said house had 2 greenhouses, a large conservatory and enough double glazing to make my sphincter pucker up tighter than a yorkshiremans pocket. How it missed all that glass I've no idea.

 

[Stuey01]

There are so many to choose from.

This one sticks in my mind so it'll have to be this:

Playing with some mates that I hadn't played with in a while. We are similar standard and pretty competitive so it's always a good game.
We're playing at their home club, and I've parred the first and piped a drive right up the middle on the second. I've got 150yards into a slight breeze to the green, feeling very smug after a par and out driving the other two. Grab my 7 iron and am feeling good about my chances of hitting the green. Swing, J Arthur, set off hard right with a hard right curve on it, high enough to clear the boundary fence and BOOM off the metal side of the warehouse over there.
It's OOB so I take my medicine and drop one, swing, and you guessed it, J-Arthur, BOOM off the warehouse.

We're playing Barracuda and at this point I'm out of the hole so I walk the rest of it fuming.

The funniest I've seen was a couple of weekends back playing with some guys at my club that I met on the 1st tee. One of the lads has been using his 3wood a fair bit for his tee shots, but wasn't using a tee. So we'd all taken to calling him "No tee Chris". This was obviously getting in his head as on the 9th he decides to tee it up.
He tries to rip at it, and hits a massive top, the ball goes straight into the ground and bounces up in the air in front of him. Quick as a flash he swipes at it in mid air and smacks it. Sadly it went OB left, if it had gone down the fairway it would have been the greatest shot ever.

I nearly killed the lady captain of a club I was visiting for a match. I wasmerrily hitting balls into the practice net when a well struck(?) 6 iron hit the scaffolding on the side and shot pastme and just missed her head as she was walking to the car park. I've got full golf insurance now. Haha

 

[patricks148]

Playing at Moray Old, was speaking to the starter and commented on the amount of guys who used driver off the tee on the first. Its only about 300 yards with all the trouble 230 ish from the tee. so says to him and my two playing partners " huh, i 'm going with 3 iron, its a no brainer"

Topped it into a big clump of long grass in front of the tee and then took 3 to just get it on the fairway

 

[mcbroon]

Playing in a medal last year with 2 guys I didn't know, the 1st passed off without incident.

Stood on the 2nd tee with 8 iron in hand and produced the mother of all Shermans, which cannoned off one of their trolley wheels and rebounded, narrowly missing the guy's face, into the rough 10 yards behind the tee. I was lucky to find it.

Slightly embarrassing...

 

[Akie]

Used a lob wedge to try and get the ball over a bunker that was in front of the hole from where I was chipping behind the green. Got under the ball so much it went straight in the air and hit the branches above me then nearly landed on my head as I moved to see where it went. Fortunately only my Dad was around to laugh at me that time.

 

[richart]

Hit a cracker on our 17th the other day. Par 3 playing into the wind, usually 6 or 7 iron, but I thought i didn't want to come up short so I would punch in a 5 iron. The divot went nice and straight about 40 yards, unforunately the ball went about 5 yards just made it past the ladies tee, and dribbled off the front into the heather. Of course there was a fourball on the nearby 3rd green letting me tee off. Would have hated to hit the shot without an audience.

In my defence it was a freezing day, and the ball was not going through the air very far.

Good to know you have finally hit a bad shot Nick, though I seem to remember a drive of yours at Saunton East finishing somewhere near the tee. Oh how we sniggered in the group behind.

I knew you'd be there taking delight in my misery........dancing on my golfing grave


this shot was remarkable in it's true awfulness.

it made that duck hook & fat second, on that par 5 at Saunton look like a golfing master class.

 

[Lollfred]

I once topped a drive so err badly (strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger) ... that it went backwards and ended up on the medal tee about 10 yards behind me !

 

[Bucket92]

I've hit a few shockers but none of them are as funny as two that my brother has hit; last year he skied a driver and it went about 10 yards forward, 20 yards and 50 yards high into the forest next to the tee box, had it on video but can't find it, it was brilliant. The other one, he drove the ball into the winter tee box about 15 yards forward and 5 yards left and flew back about 30 yards, hilarious.

 

[Scadge]

Have recently topped two chips so badly that they have plugged exactly where they started but nothing quite beats the huge driver I wound up on the 2nd off the temporary tee (mat). Teed it nice and high to give it a wallop and so when the club bounced over the ball having hit the mat at least 6 inches behind I was unbelievably emabarrassed to have an air shot. Unbelieveably made Par but had red face for what seemed like months
