Playing down in Texas this year on a local course, Los Ebanos, on a par 5 across water. Water is about 220 yds. from the Blue tee box. Our group had decided that anyone 75 and younger had to hit from the Blue instead of the white tee box so that it would equalize the differences in age when playing on teams that are drawn by straws. You all know how that goes and you do get some that can hit better than others and we all had to have at least one woman on the team. Teams were rated on best score for the team in the best ball tourney. Being the last one up on my team and watching Bill lay up as he was uncertain if he could clear the water. I made the shot of the year and using a ProV1, hit a 355 yd. shot over the water and we made the green in two and as a result and just missed an eagle by inches. I don't know if it gave me a lot more confidence in my game, but it was certainly the shot of a lifetime and at 70 yrs. young I enjoyed every minute of it.

For me it would be one of the clutch shots that I made on the Championship match of my Tuesday league. Nothing spectacular but just making those pressure shots were satisfying. The last approach shot, 120 yd PW that landed about 10ft to the pin which won the match stands out. 

Hopefully next season on my 17th yr it would be my first hole-in-one.... 

great story man

On October 8th, I made my first hole in one while playing Medinah #3.  I made it on hole #8.

It was during an awesome weekend sponsored by FootJoy.

A hole in one with a 4 iron from around 190yds. The best part about it is that it was in the dark while playing for a dollar a hole!!

for me it was a 5 iron I hit during one of my foursome's final rounds for our season-long competition, The Fed-Up Cup.

I was only about 145 from the 18th green, uphill, into a pretty strong wind, I gripped down on my 5 iron and made a solid swing and just hit the ball perfectly, it ended up about 8 feet from the pin.  It's my shot of year because I played smart by taking plenty of club, and I was able to pull off a low punch show that I had been practicing.  I really wanted at least a par on the final hole, and I managed to get it and win the competition.

My shot of the year was on the 15th at my home course Widows Walk, Scituate, MA. This short par 5 requires accuracy because there is trouble everywhere, and the fairway meanders left and right. As I always do on this hole, I hit my 910Fd off the tee because the landing zone for my driver is about a 10 yard circle. I was left with 220 to a green guarded by a huge, deep bunker -- it's death down there. I drew my 710MB 3-iron and hit it perfect in every way. I ended up with a 3ft putt for eagle and walked away with my 3. I love it when a shot does exactly what you pictured in your head.

You've gotta love that feeling.  You make contact and say, oh man this is gonna be good!

It was this past weekend.  Par 3 126 yards, I hit a picture perfect pitching wedge dead at the stick. When I got to the green I saw that I hit it six inches left of the cup.  It was such a good feeling hitting it flush and watch the ball sail straight towards the hole.

This summer during a major slump, I went to my last tourny of the season, on the 5th hole, I pushed my tee shot left and almost hit it O.B..  I punched just short of the green, and dropped my next shot from 40 yds to make my second straight birdie.  I went on to shoot 36 on the front and ended up finished solo 6th.  It was a great way to finally get out of a whole summer slump.

Playing an 18 hole round with a friend. He tells me on the way to the course that he has been playing well, and thinks he can beat me. We tee off on hole 1, he birdies, I bogey. Hole 2, he pars, I bogey. Teeing off on 3 he starts to tell me about how this is the day that he is gonna beat me, and have the bragging rights. At the end of 9 he was +1, and I was +5. We both pared 10-13, but that streak was broken with my birdie on the 14th. Walking to the 15th tee he says "You'll need a lot more than one birdie to beat me today!" Enjoying the friendly competition, I accepted the challenge. 160 yard par 3 15th, I hit an amazing 7 iron right at the flag about a foot from the hole. The tap in birdie was the 2nd of 4 birdies in a row. All while he fell apart, and I won. Even though it was only a friendly round. It was a well hit ball, while having someone try to get in my head. It was a clutch shot, and one of my best this year.

I may have related this before in another forum question, but I just experienced another shot just before the weather turned cold.

On the par 5 where we play I was 245 yds. out from the green and hit a 3 wood to within 8 feet of the hole. At my age, 71 in now 7 days away, I consider that darn good. And I even managed a birdie.

A couple shots come to mind. First was a drive on a links style course, drawed the perfectly fitting the shape of the fairway. Second was a putt from 72 feet out to for a birdie on a par 3 with the California Del Mar. Caught one of the friends napping with as he was warming up to chip, ball hits pin, looks up and says "did that just happen?".

i dont know if its really my shot of the year but its my most recent memory of really good shots.

In my last tournament of the year i was on a up hill 326 yard par 4. it was a par for with an elevated box and an even more elevated green with a vally in the middle wiht a fairway. i use that fabulus 910 D3 8.5 xstiff and just said why not. in the end i drove the back of the green on the fly we guessed it was some where in the 336-346 carry range. we know it could be no shorter than the 326 becouse the tees were at the laser marker in the ground. so if that was to the middle and i carry'd the back of what we call (army greens) couse they are big and cant miss. We figured it would have to be atleast 336 on level ground so you can make a guess about the distance with it being elevated. anyways the group ahead of us stuck around to watch the putt that i missed but i did walk off birdie. i think anyone would take a two put birdie on a par 4

greens and fairways to all

Two weeks ago, my buddies and I had a little grudge match going on. Going into 17 I was 3 shots down. Tee shot was a must and I hit the ball straight down the middle, 290 yards. I was 210 yards out, par five, and I was in between clubs. I chose the 4 iron and made one of the best swings all day. I landed about 25 feet left of the pin. The pressure was now on my buddy and did it get to him. He missed his approach shot and chipped up about 15 feet for par.  being out, i now had an eagle put that had two beaks and was going down hill. Once again, i put a smooth stroke on the ball and drained the putt for a 3. Buddy missed his par putt so we went into 18 tied. we ended the round tied but hole 17 was one the best three shots i put together for the entire year..

My most memorable moment for 2011 was about an 8 foot put for birdie. I was only playing nine (par was 36) by myself and I was already 5 over for 3 holes. I was about to quit. Next four holes were all pars! After I made a 10 footer for birdie on a long downhill par 5 over the water on 8 (on in 3), I decided I should go for the 39. I hit my 5 wood about 7-10 feet away, and sunk the put! That put was my shot of the year because I never expected any of this to happen!

Easy one for me although I hit some memorable ones this year but non as memorable as my Hole in One Feb 16th on the 17th hole of the Island course at Innesbrook. Its a shot I will never forget! I used a 4 iron AP2 and a Pro V1x #6 on the 190 yard hole.
