<p>Least favourite shot? Where do you want to start? Any shitty duff that follows a good one. Backing up a cracking drive with a 10m duff with the wedge. Sticking a long approach next to the green, and then duffing the chip 2m in front of you (yes, fucking decel) or worse, going over the back. The overhit putt that ends up on the other side of the hole about an equal distance away from where you took the last one. I am good at all of these.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But the worst, the absolute worst, is when there is one scraggly little branch between you and the green, and if you tried to hit it you couldn't with 10 goes. But you hit that wedge perfect, and it feels awesome off the club, and it juuuust catches a twig enough to slow the ball and leave you 3m short of the green. Fuck you tree, fuck you right in the ass. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>And then you duff the chip, over hit the putt, and what was looking like a chance at 4 has turned in to 7. </p> -
<p>You're playing my game M4L.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think nothing enrages me more than the duff - but, I've had enormous practice at that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Perhaps the one where you think - "the one thing I definitely don't want to do here is...." and like a laser guided missile, that's exactly what you do. Slicing out of bounds, powering it into the lake, dribbling it 20 yards along the ground and into the creek. </p> -
<p>oh shit. When i am looking at a green, all i can see is "sand. Water. Rough. Tree" i can never focus on the perfectly mown bit of grass with the flag on it. So of course, where does the ball go?</p>

<p>my golf got better when i accepted i was rubbish, and decided to enjoy it for what it was, a stroll in the sunshine, a challenge, a beer, and a laugh with the boys. So i relaxed, and suddenly started playing better. </p>

<p>Yea, when I was 'good' I took it far too seriously and took away any enjoyment I used to get, and it took qualifying for the NZ Amateur, and then playing (poorly) for me to really grasp this</p> -

<p>What's your hatiest shot in golf?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have two.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1: Crushed drive that splits the fairway (That's not the bad part) followed by a fat wedge! I hate fatting my wedge (Usually reverse pivoting but can't change that mid swing)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>2: decel on my short chips that makes it fluff about a foot or two. (To be fair I don't really do that any more as I'd rather be ten feet past than ten feet short</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>1 - mine arent fat wedges, my are gutted through the back of the green, often out of bounds....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Probably my other thing is when a particular hole gets you, I had 2 holes in particular that I just couldnt do anything with...one was a par 5, straight fairly tight...sweet 5 iron down the middle, shank next 5 iron out of bounds....smoke a drive down the middle, which allows me to catch the down slope and be within 7-9 iron in, that I duly put out of bounds, both wide and long :(</p> -
<p>At the club I grew up on, which is a short 9 hole course, there is a par 5, which is a short dogleg of 449m with an elevated green...I think it is probably the only par 5 on any course I have played more than a few times I have never putted for eagle on, and I have probably had only a handful of birdies on it, despite me playing the course significantly more than any other! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Had a shitload of bogies with a penalty strokes on it!! :ireful:</p> -

<p>I would seriously like to "dislike" this.</p> -
<p>REAL keen to get back into golf this summer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Basically gave it up when I moved to Oz aged 16, was on single figure handicap and offered provincial coaching just before I left.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whats the latest and greatest driver/irons/wedge/putter/balls gents? looking to do a good bit of research.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My driving was always big and my short game always very very good, but my iron play has always been gash. Hitting greens in regulation has always been an issue for me. Any genius iron players in here? need to pick your brain.</p> -
Hit it straight
