Which 'simple' shot do you most dislike having to hit?

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

A bunker shot with too much sand.

You've just got to learn to use (and trust in) the bounce of your sand wedge. Had same problem at our place new bunkers and deep, fluffy sand - got it sorted now.

Another vote for short putts.

You should never miss them.....I suppose statistically I don't miss many but I still think I'll miss every one! Hate them, that's why I'm a "lagger" to leave a lot of 6 inch tap ins.

Chips around the green are my worst, playing at the weekend i must of topped around 5 chips going 10 yards off the green. Resulted in me playing a 9 iron hit and run. I guess that is karma for trying to be too clever.

Another short putt vote here - hate those 2-4ft putts to stop the dreaded 3 putt

 

[hines57]

shots close to the green that must clear a hazard or bunker, Take away the hazard - no problem....

 

[richart]

50 yard shot into the green, which is why I lay up to 100 yards Bob.:ears:

 

[mcbroon]

Downhill putts.

4 times on Sunday I went past the flag and, from those 4 birdie chances, I made 4 bogeys after racing the first putt miles past.

Trying to keep a 5 or 6 iron down when I'm in under the trees, the hoped for penetrating punch shot is usually an embarrassing fat.

Can't believe you ever go in the trees Nick.

 

[Blue in Munich]

The "iron for safety" off the tee. Any tee.

Never was a shot so misnamed……….

 

[backwoodsman]

30 Yards to clear a greenside bunker. I mean, anyone can easily hit it 35 yards. Right? So why do they always go 25 yards or 90 yards ??

I've learnt more bushcraft than Bear Grylls.

Am I the only one who loves the challenge of the short game? Looking at this thread you would thing the only thing a golfer wants to do is bash drivers off the tee and hit full shots everywhere else!

Discover the challenge and fun in the short game people, find the love of the greenside chips, the bunker shots and those short putts!

I love the challenge, just find it very difficult to master compared to the long game!

Nope, I love it as well. Those short 2ft putts which are nailed down the middle or the chip and run across a large green are awesome but a real test of character IMO.

 

[Tiger man]

Least favourite has got to be the 50-70 yard range btw! Never know whether to chuck it up or stun it in low and invariable achieve neither

Wait until you get the chipping yips and then come back and tell me that.:blah:

 

[Val]

Green side chip

 

[Captainron]

3 foot putt with just a bit of break in it.

 

[Sir Scoop-A-Lot]

The too long for a 6i too short for a 5h. Need to look at gapping issues!
