What a shot!!!!

[Golfmmad]

I was teamed up with Triggertech in yesterdays Medal round for the first time since he'd joined Hassocks.

Good company and a pleasure to go round with. He pulled of this shot that no high handicapper should even dream about.

It was on the SI 1 par 4, that has a diagonal ditch that cuts across the fairway - the further right your drive is the less chance there is of getting over. Steve (Triggertech) pushed his drive right and into the rough.

The usual shot is to chip one over the ditch, safely on
the fairway with anything from a pitching wedge to a 7 iron. I said to my other playing partner as he pulled his rescue club, " he's never going to go with that is he?" Because he had to hit over trees and bushes with the run out of ditch below, and also if it went too far over there is more trouble waiting.

Well, he hit the shot, over the trees with a bit of left to right and landed on the fairway just a chip and run from the green.

So, well played Steve, and I'm sure he won't mind me saying that once he gets his driving sorted, and with probably the best short game I've seen from a 28 handicapper, his handicap will soon come tumbling down.

Cheers Chris - just need get the driving under control! Went out at tilgate early doors this morning and hit 12/14 fairways - took on your feedback re body turn and seems to be working, just need to get my 2/3 swing to a full rotation and I'm there. Net 69 for the day and only 1 3 putt

Congratulations on your solid round - reckon your be comming down in the near future even further. Looking forward to medal next weekend.

I couldn't believe it, even Justone would have been proud of it!

I always respect a good shot outta the cabbage!

Wouldn't mind a knock around Hassocks again if you guys feel like it?

Not taking anything away from TriggerTech, but the best shot I have ever seen anyone play was Craphackers recovery shot on the 16th at Chartham Park one day.
Dogleg left, where you drive down the middle (hopefully) and then hit over a lake to a green protected on the right hand side by a big oak tree. It's quite a testing hole at the best of times.
Clive had sliced his drive out to the right and was on the banks of a water hazard a long, long way from the green. He hit a wood (can't remember which one now) and it cleared everything, the lake, the tree and finished up a "tap in" from the hole. If a pro on tour had hit that shot, it would be replayed over and over again.

Just one - up for it anytime - have a word with Chris and we're get it sorted.

Just looking at forum meets - gutted I'm gonna miss the summer one - in Spain - hopefully another Southern based one after June
