Your best shot ever?

[Nikki]

A crushing 3 wood, wich left me 30 yards away from the hole, wich i pitched to about 2 feet, and then holed for first ever birdie. Wait hang on that's two...

Well both are good enough for me.

Holed a 9 iron for eagle. Right infront of the county coach. Made me go 3up against gwent. Best day ever.

Remember hitting a cut 4 iron into the 14th at Wimbledon Common in front of a couple of families out for a stroll having told the two blokes exactly what I was going to do. Hit it to about 3 feet and exited with a smug grin on my chops. As others have said I've hit loads of great ones over the years and impossible to choose just one

There was one super-special 4-iron to the 18th at La Cala that was fantastic purely because of the context of the match.... in fact that could be the one

Par 5, 250yds out, down hill looking at a green the size of a stamp, needed a birdie to secure the victory and flushed a 4-iron that was like a laser-guided missile. Rolled the eagle putt to the edge of the hole and tapped in for the win - you'd have had to be there to feel it!!!

that hole is a really strange one, but the shot into the green is a fantastic one - you feel miles up in the air!

There's been a few great ones in my short golfing career.

Probably my favorite was a 240 yard 3 wood to the green on our par 5 16th to 2ft. Just pured it, slight bit of draw. I just stood there holding my follow through watching it fly. Was a thing of beauty that one.

The other memorable one was the first time I got back spin on the green. 110 out with my SW, fired it over the flag, landed, bounced then backed up 12ft and stopped within about a foot of the pin. I was playing with a couple of members for the first time and got the "24 hcp my ass" comment. Never seen a 24 hcp back the ball up 12 ft before

I'm not going to vote for any of the regular (but flukey) shots. I'm not even going to vote for my outrageous pitch-in playing with Alchemy. Or the stone-dead 90 yards pitch at Homer's (on the par 5 4th).

I'm going to say there is ONE shot that sits in my memory way above all/any of the nice shots I've played....and it's not a hole-in-one either.

At my old, old club in Birmingham, I'd never birdied the 1st hole. It was long, and I played it as a 5. In the early days as a beginner, I frequently had 7s and 8s.

I got paired up with a player from my club who I didn't get on with. The captain put us together, because HE could drive the ball and I could hit my irons....it was for some alternate ball comps.

He drove it 265-ish down the first, leaving about 185-190 over two ditches and threaded between two trees. I pulled out my 4 iron, he (my partner) said "don't be silly, that's way too much club". We argued for a while, he got in a strop and I promised him 4 iron was the club. he said, "just hit the thing a little left, and if you go through the back, I'll wrap it round your ****** head". Slightly taken-aback by his attitude...I asked "how much left do you want"....."1 foot, 6 yards, 8 cm".......

by this time, our personalities were getting in the way. He calmed down and said...."look Dave, try and land it just short of the green a bit left....but don't go in the trees (long) please"

Needless to say, I got lucky. It landed a foot short of the green, kicked right and rolled up, tapped the pin (nealry dropped) and 3 minutes later my new mate had rolled it in for a 3 for 4 points.

Best shot ever....we went on to win the match by the 14th and got paired up for a whole season. We never lost a game. He drove, I ironed, he putted then read the 2nd putt for me, never missed one in games and games. We parred almost whole courses!!!!

Thats a toughie...
First one that comes to my head was when I was playing in Florida on the 10th hole...I had an uphill pitch shot to a pin just on the second tier...and the tier was MASSIVE (I remember the previous day my dad took a 5-putt as the ball kept coming down off it!). I hit my shot just the way I wanted to...unfortunately I didn't see it land or go in although I knew it went straight into the hole on the second bounce...it was just like Tiger on the first in Torrey Pines that year.
