I thought this might be a interesting thread.What is the best shot you have ever played ? I will start the ball rolling shall we say! I suppose certainly one of the most difficult shots i have played which actually came off "for a change" was a couple of years ago.I was playing a pairs matchplay event against another club.
I had a second shot to the green about 140yrds out which is about carry distance for a wedge,i was in the semi and caught it a bit thin.It hit the back of the green with a hard bounce and went about 10yrds through some trees.When i got down to the green the trees were about 30ft tall, no real way underneath so i thought maybe over the top ? Now my partner is out of the hole so i have to play a good shot.The flag was about 2 yards from the back of the green and the trees about 3yrds from the edge of the green.I took a 60 and opened the face, the ball carried the trees landed 4ft past the flag and spun back to about a foot.I must admit i took the pi*s and gave a little bow to the applause.It was a one off shot all i wanted was to hit the green for a putt.The thing was i played a similar shot later in the round with almost the same result golf is a strange game.
