Wow! Reading this really wants me to go out and play in stead of setting here in front of the computer.

Well I've been playing this game for about 13 years now and my best shot was about 8 years ago. I was playing on the Bellville course near Cape Town, South Africa. It was the 11th (or maybe the 2nd, not sure what tee we started from. too long ago ), anyway the 11th for the day. It is a par 4 with a 90° dogleg right and fairway sloping away to the left. HUge pine trees to the right of the fairway. So if you don't hit your drive out to the corner, you're blocked out by these trees. This is exactly what happened to me, skied my drive a bit and it came up short, about 180 metres (200 yards) left to the middle of the green. I normally hit my 8 iron around 160 metres (175 yards), but I had to take an 8 to get over the trees. I decided to go with the 8I and just give it all i got. I hit it sweet with a nice high soft fade. Ended up 2 ft from the hole

Since then there's been a lot of golf played, but this shot still sticks in my memory.
