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

[MendieGK]

Simple question, I dont mean 250yds over a pond into wind.

As an example - mine is par 3s that are really short (100yds or so) and downhill, i struggle to control the spin and distance etc.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

2ft putt

 

[Rooter]

Bunker shots where the ball is above my feet and there is a lot of height required to get it out. Always end up smashing it into the face of the bunker.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Chips around the green.
Also not a fan of really short par 3s

 

[One Planer]

The 'easy' lay up on a par 5 with a mid iron.

20 foot putts

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I guess the key here is define simple? I find hitting a ball above my feet complete torture but to others that is simple. Perhaps to simplify further I would agree with an earlier poster, the 2ft dead straight putt. 2ft with some borrow is okay but dead straight can cause twitching. Hopefully my new putter will resolve this. Signs are good but too early to tell if completely solved.

 

[bladeplayer]

Any short chip that is sitting up well , under it or fast right is a strong possibility

3ft putts on bad greens.

 

[patricks148]

a 20 foot put on the 8th down wind, after they have ironed the greens

 

[StrangelyBrown]

I'm not really sure, I can be equally as bad at many different simple shots.

3ft putts on any greens!

50yd 56* wedges:angry:

 

[Odvan]

Probably having to use a 56* to get over a green-side bunker. Cue the inevitable deceleration or thin, resulting in a trip to the trap.

 

[BrizoH71]

Trying to turn 50-feet putts into > 5-feet putts... normally results in leaving the ball either 10-feet short or 10-feet past the hole.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Drives on open par 4s and 5s. I much prefer a shorter par 3, a pitch or a putt.

 

[philly169]

short chipping....

 

[Smiffy]

Anything ball below the feet

 

[pokerjoke]

A short putt.
Cant understand why such a simple looking shot can be so difficult sometimes.
Hate short siding myself to.

Downhill lie in a bunker. Haven't got a clue.
