Your "Tiger" shots

One shot per post. Let hear about a shot you pulled off that seemed almost impossible at the time. Keep the luck to a minimum. Sure, you might have gotten a good bounce of a hill that kicks the ball onto the green, but no "It hit three trees, then bounced off the bird and dropped straight into the hole!" shots...

I'll start. Last Saturday, I pulled a 4-wood 200 yards down range and 60 yards left into a parking lot, and it bounced off a fiberglass carport, caroming back across the road, ending up in the rough next to the road. I could see clear through a bunch of trees to the green, which was about 165 yards away. I needed to hit the ball low, and carry the ball 130 yards over a big pond. The green was guarded by a bunker on the front left.

A guy driving by in a van had seen my ball land, then pointed it out to me, and had stuck around. He said, "Are you actually going to try to pull that shot off?"

I said "Yep." And proceeded to hit a perfect 5-iron through the trees, clearing the water, on a bee line for right edge of the bunker. It hit the false front just right of the bunker, popped up in the air, hit the green, and rolled to 10 feet.

The guy in the van, said, "How the heck can you hit one shot so bad, then hit an amazing shot like that?"

I said, "That's golf."
