Re: Your Favorite Shot!

My favourite shot is a good 3 wood to the green which lands soft and runs up to the flag, it's a shot very few players play at all much less with any success.I played in a Ladies Invitational thing where a lady member invites 3 gents to play as her team. I was the low man in the team by about 7 shots and it was a texas scramble. So on one of the par fours (about 400 yards) I wound up and bombed one away but it took a horrid kick and finished in a bunker about 80 yards from the green. So then the other two guys hit theirs, one topped it about 100 yards the other found the heavy hay about 150 yards from the green, probably in real trouble. So the lady pulls the driver out and is a bit concerned she is going to do much the same. So I tell her to put the driver away and ask her what club she can hit the best in her bag. She says 7 wood but she only hits it 150 yards. I ask her if she will hit the fairway for sure and she says yes. So i tell her to take it and if it goes wrong we take my drive and try and salvage par from the bunker. This calmed her a bit and she speared one right down the line about 160. So we gets to the ball and I says to the two guys to have a lash with their biggest club and the lady hits the 7 again. After the three shots the best we have managed is 40 yards short in the semi on the left. So I pulls the 3 and I go down the grip about an inch or so. I hit the best shot of the day right there it climbed to about normal 3 iron height and landed 20 feet short of the stick and ran up to 6 feet past. Luckily I played a similar shot on one of the long par fours later in the round to prove it wasnt luck!!!!
