My crazy shot of the day - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**PheliarearY** · 08-07-2009, 06:35 PM

So today the conditions were very wet from the solid rain yesterday and on a par 3 I pushed my tee shot to the right of the green. I had a sand trap to carry over and was short sided on the green with only 4 feet or so to the pin. The ball was sitting down a little bit and the grass was soaked.

I decided to try something unique. Normally I would just flop shot it and put it a little passed the hole for the safe play. But today I decided that if I tried that shot, I could have left it fat and put it in the bunker because of the ground condition. I decided to pull out the 56* for the extra bounce and play it like a bunker shot.

Well I executed it exactly the way I wanted to, and the ball was punched onto the fringe that then took once bounce and went in. A crazy par 3 birdie.

After I hit the shot and was covered in mud, I looked down to see one of the biggest divots I had ever seen and to think I executed the shot the way I wanted to.

Hard to tell by the cell phone picture, but it is actually almost 18 inches long and 4-6 inches wide.

Well done. To me, one of the best feelings in golf is to 'create' a shot in your mind and pull it off exactly how you wanted to.

That's awesome!

It's like a meteor strike or something.

**TOPERink** · 08-07-2009, 06:55 PM

We got one of our infrequent rainstorms a few days ago and I went to the range just after. I left there covered in mud. I am not a mudder because I take divots, but this was like playing out of casual water.

Nice to see you stayed down through the shot.

It looked huge up close.

That just made me laugh out loud.

I've heard of taking a divot with your shot, but damn JB!

**finasteride** · 08-07-2009, 07:57 PM

looks like the ball 'exploded!!!!'

**CULTDIAMONDS** · 08-08-2009, 01:35 AM

Looks like one of my trademarked war wounds. Are you supposed to fill those?

**PheliarearY** · 08-08-2009, 01:37 AM

With sand we fill them. We do not replace divots down here.

**CULTDIAMONDS** · 08-08-2009, 01:38 AM

Yeah, I was kidding! Although I do get sick of filling them after a while, since I leave so many.

**PheliarearY** · 08-08-2009, 01:42 AM

I needed the whole bucket for this one.

**Noxassope** · 08-08-2009, 05:29 AM

Great play. That is a divot any true golfer would be proud of.

**Olympicdreams** · 08-08-2009, 05:40 AM

If I took a divot like that I can just about guarantee my ball will be sitting about ten feet in front of it, tops!

**joeyCanada** · 08-08-2009, 05:52 AM

I've taken divots like that often, always followed by a string of profanity. Glad it worked out for you JB.
