Hitting a shot into a long par 5(getting on in two) or hitting a close wedge shot?

For me wedge shot. The feeling of knowing you hit it dead on where you aimed is always great.

[CialisBestPrice]

Getting on in two is still hitting a shot where you aimed, is it not?


For me its making putts. If Im making putts, then my round should be going well.

I'll take the long approach... I think because I'm always trying to reach the green in 2 even if impossible, when it does work out it is GLORIOUS! Though a close wedge shot is definitely a close 2nd.

For me, its hitting it on 2. Close, and then making a putt with my wedge.

[SantaClaus]

Whichever one results in a birdie.

[OlgaBorovikovva]

best feeling for me is nutting a drive, splitting the fairway and a long way from where i started. Then I would say par 5 in 2, then wedge, then putting. (I hate putting)

[Lidawka]

knock it on in two is a great accomplishment to me. you have to hit two good shots to pull this off.

[cbUDaNFRu]

Getting onto a par 5 in two is still a thrill, that unfortunately doesn't happen too much any more.

[Lidawka]

I don't believe putting was apart of this test, sir

Close wedge shot.

I like Thainer throwing in the putt comment. There isn't a greater feeling in a round of golf than a hot flat stick!

[engideNedmupe]

Best feeling is when the ball goes in the hole when it seems unlikely, be it a chip/pitch-in from off the green, or a monster-long putt. Stiffing it close and having a kick-in putt is probably a close 2nd for me.

[bely832new]

Getting there in two for me. You not only get the thrill of your second shot but then you get the chance to make eagle.

[Nzmoafzn]

I too think that I would have to go with the hot putter but since that wasn't part of the question then a great wedge shot would be my second choice.

[JorgiOLusinio]

Wedge shot hands down....getting on in two of 5 is great but aiming at the hole and landing it close is a skill I want to brag about!

[Misiotoagodia]

Of the two shots I would say the wedge. So many good things have to happen to get a wedge close, since, for me anyway, many times it is a straight feel shot. A wedge from the fairway is rarely a 'stock' shot. It is a feel game where you have to maybe play the ball back in the stance a bit, choke down, reduce the backswing, etc. To hit that shot close (inside of 3-4 feet) is a great feeling knowing that you did everything perfectly and just as you wanted.

Getting on in two is also nice, but most of the time it is just blind ass luck, especially with a 3-wood. Irons are a little different, I would expect to reach in two if I am able to hit an iron. From 235 out with a 3-wood, you just hit it and hope it stays straight enough to get on the green and miss the trouble. If I am 85 yards out, I know exactly what I need to do to hit that shot (doing it is another matter).

[Farson]

Wedge close for me. Hitting the green in two loses some of the appeal when I mis the putt, even if its still a bird.

[lammaredder]

For me I get the best satisfaction from any well played shot or series of shots. I'd take either a great wedge shot or driving the green in 2.

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner.

The last lesson I had, my PGA instructor tells me, "You hit your drives like you're a 7 handicap, but your game gets progressively worse as the clubs get shorter." There was a huge amount of truth in that statement right there. So my biggest thrill is putting a chip close or in (so I don't have to sweat making the putt).

[Cheaperisdeeper]

I'd say they're both about the same. It takes a bit of skill and a bit of luck (usually) to do either of these but you still get the same great feeling either way.

[Emedgella]

Wedge in close is the winner for me out of the choices given.
