Re: Best shot ever

I just need to preface this and say I have only been playing about 5 months, so my bet shot my not be all that spectacular, but it made me very happy. It was a short par 4 about 320 yards, however the the fairway was blind. Off the tee all you saw was about 50 yards of hillside. The fairway is very narrow, so I took a 5 wood to try and keep it on the fairway. I swung it easy and that with the combo of the height of the hill I only got about 150 yards, but dead in the middle. Now I had about 170 yards going downhill. The green sloped downwards away from me with a deep overgrown creek behind the it (instant lost ball if I went long). I took a 5-iron, breathed deep and prayed. I caught it perfect. I saw it hit, take a small hop and stop by the pin. Walked up and I was about 2 feet away. However I was happiest about the fact that after looking at the ballmark I saw the ball only moved about 9 inches after it landed. Thats something I have always had trouble with. I was playing by myself and of course there was no one on any holes around me(as always happens on my best shots) so I just did a little kooky dance. I might just be able to learn this game after all.
