What was your best ever shot?

I must be really sad because I can't remember any great shots. Good ones yes, but great ones nope :(


you did not get your handicap to 11 without some great shots.
 
Maybe. I suppose it depends on your definition of great :D

Plus my memory's shocking now. I'll be surprised if this time next year I can remember my name
 
I have two also.

First was off the beach at Golspie in an open. Hooked my drive off the tee on the 3rd. luckily the tide was out, 9 iron on the green from about 130 yards. The beach is about 30 foot below the level of the course with a large rock sea defence. Also had half a dozen dog walkers watching. Good par.

Second was the par 3 16th at Tain. Overshot the green left, about 30 feet into the rough on the back of the 17th tee. Wasn’t sure I would find it so hit a provisional, bunker . Found the first on a down slope in foot high rough. Though might get it out into a bunker in front of me. Got good connection on it, over the bunker missed the pin by an inch to 15 feet. Sank the putt for par :p. Won the monthly medal.
:D
 
Playing a few years ago with some old friends (by chance we had all just taken the game up)

Played 6 holes of tosh, ok drive on 7, 150 to green which runs away from you. I hit a 7I outta the screws, sweet high draw, Landed 4' short hit teh flag and stopped just beyond the hole, simple putt for birdie - my first - but that Iron was the most perfect shot I have managed to hit.
