your best shot of your golfing life?

Liam I have been playing now about 15 years and must have hit about a dozen good shots. 1 that springs out was on my nemesis hole. The6th at tilgate forest. I hit a decent drive and left about 180yds out. I hit a brass headed 2 iron. Creamed it and carried all the way.ended up 3 inches from the hole. The only time ive birdied that hole. What is your best shot ever ?

i respect you because i could never hit a 2 iron! my best shot? has to be my first hole in one at when i was 12 at stand golf club on the 13th.

It's difficult to think of the best shot i've played, but the most satisfying was at the par 5 3rd hole at Bishop's Stortford in the invitation day last year when I played a drive quite long just running out of fairway, then sunk a 5 iron from about 185 yards for an Albatross, certainly my most memorable shot!

My first and only Eagle was at State Mines in South Africa, I was on the up in those days and the second one was in Cambodia in 2009.

I was in a bunker next to the green right up under the lip facing away from the green.

Everyone in my four ball laughed out loud when I said that I would hit the ball up against the lip so the ball would rebound over my head onto the green. H ah ah they said.

Guess what, that was exactly how I did it and about 10ft from the pin. Fluke maybe but one to remember.

I've got a couple and wouldn't know which one to pick. First would be a blind pitch in from the rough to the plateaued green on the 17th at Heaton Park for birdie when I first started playing. Second would be on a horrible wet and windy afternoon at the par 3 course at Park Hall, Stoke. 18th hole, launched a wedge high in to the sky and it dropped like a bullet 3" from the hole. Finally, last weekend, at my club (Deane) I carved my drive off the 7th into some trees, pulled a hybrid hook-turned draw out of the treeline, over a rivine to 10ft from the pin from 200yds. I'd be incline to go for the birdie chip in as it was my first ever birdie.

In sixty years of playing I have many memories of good shots that I have played, but I played a six iron to the last hole yesterday, which was actually the ninth.

Smothered drive from the tee found a hedge at forty yards, requiring a drop, played a solid three wood, leaving 165 yards slightly downhill. The flag was visible by a yard from the bunker which guards the front right of this green.

I hit the perfect shot in trajectory, flight and obviously distance as it came up 8 feet from the hole, then holed the putt for a fortunate five.  I don't hit this quality of shot very often so when it happens it certainly gives one a lift for things to come, maybe.

Plenty in my memory banks but here's one from a few years back. A howling gale off the sea with driving rain. A par 3, 184yds. Tee shot into the wind, which is normally a solid 6 iron for me but on this occasion was a driver. Hit a low, boring, shot to 5 feet and knocked in the putt for the only two on the day.

The two was a bonus but the tee shot, whilst being battered by the wind, was a thing of beauty.

Hit a guy right in the testes from 150 yards . I never saw him until it was too late to shout.

My best golf shot was holing out for eagle from 160 yards into the wind with a 5 iron on the 8th at Oulton hall.

My best drive was at the Oaks near selby. On the 16th tee with OOB on the left and water on the right, the safe play is a long iron down the fairway and a short iron to the green. But I took my driver and hit my best ever drive over the corner of the OOB to the edge of the green. Chip on and one put for birdie. I ended up winning the comp with net -1.

On the scorecard it shows 345 yards but in a direct line it's more like 280.

My most memorable shot was in the Royal Winchester Invitation event 18 years ago. My fourball were first out off the 1st, and as we stood on the 9th tee we could see the 10th tee starters backed up, and there were people in the halfway marquee behind the 9th green and looking down from the 7th tee. My 16-handicap partner and I were playing well and already had 22 points. The 9th is a downhill par-5 so I told Mike to drive first as I could reach the green with two good hits. He hooked onto the 8th, so I played a safe drive down the left. When he passed me he had taken four strokes and said "well, you said you could reach, let's see it".

The pin was behind the right-hand bunker, I hit a good 3-wood with a little fade, it ran on to the green, disappeared behind the lip of the bunker, then everyone round the green started cheering as the albatross 2 went in, for another 5 points!

Funnily enough, that was my second albatross 2 and at that time I had never had a hole-in-one, despite having four attempts every time I went out! The previous occasion was on a society weekend in Gloucester ("Country Club"?), a par-5, about the 5th/6th hole, with a shallow bunker right across the fairway. No point going round it so I hit a fairway wood low and it ran through. We searched for the ball then looked in the hole and there it was. My son, who rarely plays golf, seemed distracted while he congratulated me, as he was looking over my shoulder. He was watching one of the other guys chipping in for an eagle 3 and losing the honour!

In common with my two holes-in-one, I've never seen any of them go in the hole.

My regular partner used to play in South Africa and Malawi and tells of a long-hitting friend who went for the green out there on a par-5 with a severe dogleg, over trees, and downwind. He ended up putting for a two but three-putted for a birdie!
