Your favorite shots to pull off?

[nosedive32]

Miracle recovery shots from nowhere that require excessive amounts of curvature or extreme flop shots to tucked pins.

 

Ive spent too much time watching Phil play golf for my entire life

Holing my second shot on a Par 4 on the fly and hearing the "clank" as it hit the hole and rattled the flagstick.

Hard to beat the feeling of a flushed iron but I really love those 50-60 yd partial wedge shots. Lots of options/creativity involved and just so satisfying when the planning and execution come together. 

Heck yeah, 50-60 yards is my bread and butter, I might 3 putt, and I might top a drive, but that 60 yd wedge is going right where I want it.

Hitting a perfect 2-iron off the tee.  There is no better feeling and seeing the ball rocket down the fairway is a thing of beauty.

[platgof]

Hit a long drive, but with a tree in front of me. Hit a 5 hybrid, ball back in stance, face open, and hands moving fast. Nailed the center of the fairway.

[jbob]

flushing a long iron into a green.  

 

and in general a baby draw with just about anything.  I grew up with this huge banana slice so any time the ball moves an inch to the left (I'm left handed) it gives me heartburn.  I am trying to get over it as my instructor keeps telling me I'm more suited to hitting a fade.  

[WilderMan]

Any shot that leaves an eagle putt...

A nutted 5 iron into the wind with a baby draw as intended was the last one.  Yes I made the 30-footer.

[monty09]

seeing the line on a 10 foot putt and hitting it perfect... just a smooth roll into the back of the cup.... 

[Long_Left]

High, tight draw, 4 or 5 iron. Those just feel so rare to catch perfectly that they stand out in my memory, maybe a half dozen standouts over the years.

 

The other would be a recovery shot that comes off the club exactly matching your "vision." Playing on the road a couple years back I hit a hooded pw with ~25 yards of draw around a tree to 3 feet in a wolf game and it pissed everyone off, glorious.

good call.. i hit a small draw with my 5 iron flush maybe 10 years ago and still dream about it...  like hitting a marshmallow 

[Masterhacker]

any controlled fade for me as I'm a natural drawer.  lol

Favorite shot: Straight

[Yanki01]

flushing an iron shot on a long par 5 to about 4-5ft, sinking the putt for double bogey. I want to tip my hat to the crowd for the roar because they couldn't see behind the dog leg that I skulled my driver and 3 wood into the water. 

[rblmp32]

A flop shot is fun.  A nutted drive with the shape I want is fun.  Same with a flushed iron shot with the right shape and trajectory.  

[Righty to Lefty]

Love me a well struck fairway wood that comes in high and lands soft when going at the green in two.  Especially since I used to be horrible with fairway woods.  

[AddInfinitum]

The 300+ yard pounded drive after the guys in front let you pass.

[mshills]

Hitting the fairway on #1 with a bunch of people around the tee box and practice green is always satisfying. I’m an adaptive player and that first swing tends to get a good bit of attention. 🙂

 

I also love clubbing up one or two sticks on a short approach (~110 yards) and hitting a low draw in there, very pleasing shot.

Flighted down wedge from 80 yards off a fairway. Divot is mandatory
