GIVEAWAY: Titleist Limited Edition Holiday Leather Headcovers. 1 Winner. Enter here!

[mister2cool]

Great looking headcover. I hope I can get them!

 

My best shot was at Mohegan Sun #1, two big trees just off the right of fairway, and green is set off to the right as well. Of course I would push my tee shot straight right behind the trees. With pin front right and almost completely invisible and 170 yds away , the situation called for a shot to go under the right half of the first tree, but had to go up quickly and fade around near the top of the 2nd tree, then drop out of the sky like a sack of potato.

This was easily the best 6 iron I have ever hit. The ball never even left my intended flight path and ended up pin high 10 ft away.

 

Yes I know the safe play was the put the ball short of the green and try to get up and down. But that was a shot that even Phil Mickelson would have been proud of.

[Z1ggy16]

Best shot off the top of my head was an 8i off a par three to a pin 142 yards away. Pitched 3 inches from the hole and ball stopped about a foot past that.

[stuart374]

My best shot of 2017 was a 40 foot putt with a 10 foot break that went right in to win a match.

My best shot ever was into a pond, hitting a turtle and bouncing onto a green for a birdie putt. (The turtle was unhurt.)

[ntenn]

Playing dots pitched in for 8 dots

[njortego]

Great looking head covers!

 

Best shot of 2017 was in a club match. 17th hole all square. Short par 4, I piped a drive and holed a 75 yards pitch to go 1 up in the match and would make par on 18 to win the match!

[kolka79]

Easy 9th hole from a bad spot that I had to hit under a tree and then over another to get to the green. I pulled it off but landed short of the green. So I hit it sweet but the golf gods wouldn't let me have the complete satisfaction. As far as I was concerned it was still a really nice shot that was 99% perfect in my mind.

[lumbee1977]

Blast out of the sand at my Brother in Laws Member Guest that went to the back of the green and sucked back into the hole. It was so money!!

[SD-Golfn]

Great giveaway, since my headcovers for my 915F fairway woods are falling apart. Been looking to buy some replacements anyways.

 

 

Best shot was a scary downhill 30 foot chip in to save par.

[velasquez21]

Best shot of 2017 was in the second round of the club championship (Saturday 36 holes, Sunday 18 holes). After making a bogey save on my 15th hole on Saturday with the final three holes to play of the day, I reset my thinking and sent my drive into the middle of the fairway. With 120 yards left, a fulling gap wedge, i stuck it to 5 feet to go ahead and birdie. This set up a -3 under par in the final three holes of the second round to bring me within reach of the leader going into sundays final round.

 

 

Long story short i finished 6th. Couldnt get any putts to fall my way.

 

 

Brought my handicap down to a 4 by the end of this summer.

[cameronjunkie]

Hole out from a greenside hazard for birdie.

[TheHeavyStuff]

Best shot was in a bachelor party scramble, 165 yard 5 wood (don't laugh, I have a bad back!) stopped 6 feet from the pin, and sunk the birdie putt. Gorgeous headcovers!

[atomik]

Best shot this year? About 35 yards out, short-sided over a bunker, 64* vokey, 1 hop and in. :)

 

Being from somewhere where we actually have snow already, I'd love to win!

[thekidhimself]

My best shot was getting back to the practice turf after a severe stroke with my daughter. Didn't know if I could even hit the ball; my first chip with my 8 iron - right in the bottom of the cup. Big big smile.

[JPW75]

Local club was having a tourney and they moved up one of the tees to the ladies tee for whatever reason. Par 4 was then about 285 to the green. Of course I'm going to go for it! Trees all along the right side on a dogleg right. I smoked my driver, started out to the right into the tree line, but towering way over them. My usual draw started to kick in and the ball stuck on the green leaving me a 20 foot eagle putt. I missed it of course, but always fun to drive a green on a Par 4, even a short one. Birdies are fine with me!

[FutureScratchGolfer]

Best golf shot of 2017 was a 6-iron from 185 to a pin tucked close to water on the right. The ball started 7 yards left of the hole and faded 6 feet right of the hole and stayed 6 feet left of the water. If I could bottle up what I had in that swing I'd be a happy man.

[Stlgolf]

The best shot I hit this year happened to be in a playoff. I hit a 7 iron on the first playoff hole to 8 inches from the cup. I made the putt and won the playoff. It was extra nice because there was a group of people watching.

[jvbroadhurst]

In March, I was playing with my Saturday Golf Guys in Bolivia, NC It was a raw, cold, windy day as I played Egret 3, 520 yard Par 5. Into the wind and uphill, I holed the third shot for Eagle from 165 yards. The best thing was that shot gave me Career Eagles on all 6 of the Par 5's on our 27 hole course!! Played the shot with a Titleist 915 hybrid using a Pro V1X. The headcovers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[mjtoal]

Mmm, hard to choose, not because there were so many memorable ones, but for the opposite reason.

 

Probably a 3 wood tee shot hit on a short par 4 with fast fairways which I managed to draw round a corner onto the green, leaving an eagle putt which kept a nice round going after the momentum started to wobble.

[CFORDLU]

“So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, ‘Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.’ And he says, ‘Oh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.’ So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.....here’s to 2018!?

[NavyLD12]

My best shot from 2017 was my Hole in One on the 3rd Hole at Chambers Bay!! I hit 8 iron from 171yds it landed about 12 ft short of the hole and a few feet right and it rolled right in.

[Nutty]

Since I had an off year, I will defer to my son's best shot of the year, a 100+ yard 50* Vokey SM6 wedge shot at the 17th hole

of Seven Oaks CC in Hamilton, NY (Home of the Colgate golf team) which is a is a gem of one Mr. Robert Trent Jones'. So

what was so great about the shot...he hit it to about 8 feet and made birdie to get into the top 10 of the event and catapulted

the rest of his summer season which culminated to a top finish on our PGA section's junior tour standings. Those headcovers

would sure look great in his bag in 2018. Thanks Titleist and Golfwrx!

[Haig79]

Par 5 2nd shot to green 225 (last 30 yds over water) to 5 ft with 816 H2. Was going to lay up till person in group hit one just off the green pin high. Put my 9 iron up and pulled the Hybrid telling my cart partner that I had to do better than other guy.

 

Also had a 190 yard par 3 lip out with my teaching pro watching, high draw landed 5 feet short and ended up two feet at 9 o’clock.

[Jesse Sanchez]

# 7, par 4, I hit it right side and trees were an issue, I was about 220-230 out down hill. I had to keep it low, under the branches, Hit a stinger under the trees, made it to fairway and rolled up to a kick in, I was just trying to lay up short of the green, but happened to prue it. Love kick in's.

Would look great in my bag next my brand new 718's combo of AP1 and AP3.

 

My best shot was during the Veterans Day Tournament at the CC of Whispering Pines in NC. In the shootout to determine the Service champion, I hit a 70 yd approach shot to under 2ft, tapped in the putt for the victory! GO NAVY Beat Everyone else but especially Army. My Dad who is a Navy Vet also was watching green side so that made it even more special.

[Scott57]

Par 3 170 yds down hill in Vegas. 6i to 5' to win the final 'Action Hole' of the day with my buddies, JA & BS!

Fairways and Greens to all.

[oldfart]

Without a doubt, final match of our Mem/Guest... trying to protect our 1 up lead that will give us victory in our flight. After killing my drive on our final hole, a par 5 (caught the slope that took it an extra 40 yards down hill), I only had PW to the hole. The problem was I had an overhanging tree that wouldn't accommodate a shot any higher than about 40 ft. Additionally, I was shooting to pin cut about 5 paces off the front of the green. So instead of hitting a wedge up into the tree, I took out my 8-iron and played a beautiful three quarter shot under the limbs with about 4 yards of cut on it. The shot landed on the front collar, took one big hop and came to a dead stop just a couple feet from the hole! Eagle! to win the hole and close out the flight!! Love it when the execution can match up with the imagination!

[kerrlybill]

Heavy drinking. Short driveable par 4. Licking lips. Worst shot of the year followed by the best. Pull hook my driver into the trees/marsh area so bad I have to drop about 70 yards out from the tee box. Drop in fairly thick rough, lie not great. 241 to the pin. Hybrid to 6 inches. Tap in par.

[PackerBob]

The BEST golf shot I hit in 2017 was the first shot of the year! I had a very traumatic accident (ruptured both patellar tendons) in 2015 that sidelined me for quite a while. It was not until this year that I was unable to swing a golf club. At first I was like a new born horse, very wobbly on my legs. As the year went on I got stronger. I am not completely back but that first shot felt SO great!!!

[jacobEDGE]

Best shot was probably during a 2-man scramble event I played. Shotgun start, and we started on Hole 16. Long par 4, straight into a nasty headwind. Used my playing partner's drive, and played a high ball that held up into the wind perfectly. 7 iron from 140 yards. Floated in with a slight fade and dropped 2 feet behind the pin, and spun back to the lip of the cup.

 

It was a great way to start off the event, and the team we were playing with got a little shook.

[Palaborachamp]

Sweet looking covers!

 

After a four bogey start to my round trying to maintain composure I came to the 7th hole at Bayonet GC in Monterey, CA. A poor drive right ended in the grass on the bunker facing sitting down and dirty. Trying to not be morally defeated I puilled a 7 iron and hoped for the best. Clanked a knuckler - it faded, drew and faded catching the front right seam of the green and bounded toward the pin. The group ahead reported it climbed the right slope of the green and turned toward the back right portion of the green and straight into the cup for an eagle two. A huge momentum swinger as I then went on to birdie 10, 11, 12, 13 (quite unheard of at the Bayonet) and salvaged a 74 on the day. You just never know in this game!!
