Re: My Best Shot

Last year I was playing against my brother and the local course pro. On the par 3's we would drop a few dollars each on the tee box and closest to the pin got to pick it up. Hole 8, 189 yards. I grabbed my 5 iron and took my sweetest iron shot ever. My ball rolled to within 12 inches of the hole. I picked up my money and we all proceeded to the green where I followed that up with the worst putt ever by being too overconfident and hitting to hard. I lipped out and had to make a 4 foot putt to save par.

Best drive. I was demoing a Cleveland Hi Bore. Number 1, 344 par 4. I teed the ball up and took a nice smooth swing. With roll I ended up 3 yards in front of the sprinkler head/50 yard marker. My personal best drive ever at 297 yards. That impressed me so much I ordered my very own custom fitted, 10.5 degree stiff shafted Hi Bore.

Ended up getting the exact clone of the HiBore. It's called the Classic Tour Highly High Bore. Beautiful clone and after comparing it shot for shot with the Cleveland it came out even and a lot of times ahead.

Re: My Best Shot

Just when you come upon a thread like this and post your best shot ever, you go out and hit a shot that's so much better you just gotta tell everyone. Let me take this moment to brag a little. Last night at mens night at our local 9 hole course(Squire Greens) our team teed of on the 9th hole. Except for my brother, the other guys didn't know I had a new driver so I didn't bother showing them until after I teed off. I figured I'd let the club speak for itself. Par 4, 427 yards to the center of the green. I setup, said a little prayer, and let loose with the best shot I have ever hit in my life. I let the other guys pace it off from the ball to the center of the green just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Bottom line, my ball stopped within 30 yards of the center of the green. I know you all can do the math, but, it gives me great pleasure to say I hit a monster drive at 397 yards, give or take a yard. I ended that hole with a chip to within 2 feet and one putt for birdie. Of course, my brother had to make that accomplishment look like a footnote by putting his ball right up there with mine and setting an individual course record of -7. But, what the hell, that's what brothers are for, eh.

Re: My Best Shot

Congrats,man! That is a huuuge drive, what a feeling. Wish I could hit the ball that far.

I almost had a hole in one on Sunday, similar to the original poster - par 3, 145yards into a 10mph wind, 7iron, beautiful struck, high draw - stops 2 inches away from the hole. of course tap in birdie

it'll come someday, i'm sure.
