For me it is definitely every tee shot.

Anything over water. My golf balls love to commit suicide by drowning.

I hate severe downhill lies. I have finally begun to learn how to play them, but that doesn't make me like em. Also, I am learning how to lay up so I am not faced with them.

I hate that too. When I play with my brother at his club, the first hole is right next to the patio and everyone is out there having a drink. I'm right handed so I have to face them - makes me crazy.

I have a buddy that just cannot hit the ball if his shadow is falling on it... I know it seems crazy, but I have seen him do it time and again.

Hanging lies, when I am not paying attention. Next would be just the opposite. Thin lies on wet turf/mud.

I would have to say tee shots where a road runs down the left side of the fairway (I am left handed) so if my slice desides to show up I have a chance of smoking a car. Once you get the picture of that bad shot in your head it often comes true.

totally forgot this type of shot! anytime there's a road or houses nearby it's bad.

My home course is lined with homes on the left on every hole. Back yards with pools, and kids playing in them. On the right is wet/dry water hazard on every hole. I am right handed, and bad shot for me most of the time is a hook. Some days it is a 5-W off the tee, even on the par 5s. Then again, get me on a course that is wide open off the tee, and it's me and my driver swinging for the fence.

Yep. I play a course that has the similar thing for righties. Oh and not to mention there is a sign on the tee that reads "Warning!! You are liabile for any hit vehicle." No pressure right?

The two that get me all wound up are both bunker shots:

Anything up against a bunker lip, where there's no footing (think pot bunker)

And not to forget the bunker shot where the pin is only 3-4 feet onto the green, no place to land it without running it out (I haven't perfected a higher bunker shot so it stops on a dime)



I always feel like I'm about to break my wedge when I swing at the first one, since I can't follow through, that gives me anxiety.

The second one, I either don't get the ball out because I decelerate my down swing, or I keep the speed up, catch it thin, and have to chip it back up onto the green because it came out way too hot. Again, anxiety playing a shot I'm not comfortable with.

Any full shots, particulary driver, with strong wind coming from left to right. It's completely mental I know, but I'm so worried about push-slicing it that I many times will close the face and pull-hook it.

I don't fear tee shots, but I hate having a gallery. I love playing in the company scramble, but hate that when it gets backed up and all of a sudden you have 10 people watching you tee off.

Water. Hubby even bought me a dozen balls that said, "Water is a magnet." They all drowned.

Usually when I play I switch out my golf ball on holes that have water. I have yet to hit a ball I didn't care if it went in the water, actually in the water. But that brand new Warbird, e6+, Pro V1 will just jump right out of my hand totally skip the tee and roll right into the water.
