Default What is your favorite feeling
Yesterday, I was hitting the ball really well. Good drives, clean iron shots, and even putting well. A lot of shots gave me a great feeling of accomplishment. But my favorite shot by far yesterday was on a 330 yd par 4. I hit a 220 drive on the left side of the fairway and was sitting 110 yds out uphill. I took my 10 iron (ask Callaway) and hit a beauty. Perfect ball, sky rocket high, that marked 3 ft in front of the pin. As I walked up to green, my ball sat 3 inches from the stick staring at me, saying "where have you been, I've been waiting for you. Come tap me in." It was a great birdie, but the feeling of the shot even before I knew it was that close was euphoric. This is definitely my favorite feeling in golf, a perfect full iron shot that lands exactly where you want it to on the green. What is your favorite feeling?

I have to agree that a flushed iron shot that lands close to or in the hole can't be beat. I made an eagle today from 81 yards out that was the best feeling ever. It was about the same feeling I think I would have on a hole-in-one. I wish I could feel that more often! I've never holed out from that far out before.

Great shot, gotta love that. I might have to agree with a great iron shot that just starts on the flag and stays there all the way.

The same as yours. There is just something about the sound, sight, and result of a great iron shot. For me, it's the best feeling in golf by far.

just by the title name i would say my favorite feeling is napping when its thundering and raining out. Also Eating a perfect medium rare steak with delicious side dishes, especially at the Striphouse in NYC!

When you drop a 40+ foot bomb on the green. I absolutely love the feel of contact on the putter and watching the trundling roll with hope, bliss for me.

A flushed Iron is a close second for me though, but that's a new thing for me as prior to my 2.0's it didn't happen very often.

I love long putts. Thety are a close 2nd for me. reading the green right and watching it do exactly what you told it to is sweet. It's like the ball is remote controlled and you just drive into the hole.

I would say on the golf course my fav feeling is Absolutely striping a Driver, knowing that I smashed it and its arrow straight right where i want it leaving me a short shot into a green. Followed closely by a solid iron shot that I know is rolling with in 15ft

A stuck iron shot or crushed driver feels nice, but my favourite feeling on the course is the long bomb of a putt. When you're on the opposite side of the green from the cup and hole a 60+ foot putt, it's just amazing to me (especially when for bird or eagle). I'd bet it would depend on each person's weak part of their game; those terrible putters (like me) get most pumped with a long putt, those short and/or crooked hitters love the long straight drive, and those not used to hitting it close love those iron shots.

Full swing wedge shot (~110) that spins back close to the hole. Love seeing that.

Hitting a flush low iron exactly where you wanted it to go. Doesn't get any better for me than picking a spot and hitting it there from 200+

Being on a golf course. Just the fact that I can enjoy this game, tee a ball up and spend a few hours out there makes me feel great.

Pure iron shots are a great feeling. And the walk up to the 1st tee, all pumped up for the round is great.

6 months ago, I would have said a well struck iron with the intended result, but I have been struggling with my driver for a while now, and I miss the feeling of ripping a drive 270 and right down the middle, straight as could be.

Goofy laugh and giggle when chip in around green or from fairway. Like I know that shouldn't have just happened.

Without a doubt when you hit that pure iron or wedge and you feel the ball compress and shaft work its magic.
