Most Gratifying Shot

[Apothecary]

Which shot feels the best and why? Tell us your stories.:thmbup:

A perfectly performed turnover shot is something special.

Crown!!!!! Because it goes down smoothly and you don't need a chaser!!!!!

I like save shots a lot. A bad upshot followed by a great long putt feel very good.

I would imagine that an ace would feel better. =(

 

[srm_520]

Any ace is a special. Bottom line.

I consider extremely gratifying a perfectly executed "trouble" approach, where you have to hit a barely-bigger-than-disc sized gap, shape a perfect line (with more than one turn a bonus) through a forest of obstacles, and land ever so gently on a postage stamp sized green with major trouble short, long, and to either side.

100' dead-straight putt. Making long putts while others look on in jealousy/amazement is suh-weeet, especially when you are able to successfully hide your own amazement/disbelief.

Edit: I'm sure aces are sweeter, but I wouldn't know...

I agree, those approach shots or long putts that go in feel awesome, you've already resigned yourself to the 3 on the hole and then you hit chains for the 2.

Aces do feel better, but I don't hit them very often so I'll take the smaller gratification on a more regular basis.

My rollers, uh, need some, let's just say, a little work. :\

honestly aces feel like dirty shots to me. a shot thats close to an ace is coming hot, high and off-target. if they miss, they miss big.

A blind 120' hyzer upshot that goes out of the woods and straight into the chains.Made that shot on a tournament last year and all on my card was like....YOU CAN´T DO THAT...and I was like what just happened?Did I make it?Did it go in?.After that I felt very good and was very happy.Hope I will make a crazy hard awesome shot into the chains next year.

You can play a safe ace route on some holes. Usually you have to hyzer or have some backdrop.

thats a good point. id say the VAST majority of aces are flukes/cubbys though.

Maybe peeps should only count aces that they call before hand?

[Apothecary]

thats the standard ive always used (for my four aces).:|

I agree. Any long putt over 50ft just looks so cool when it hits the chains.

I've had a few "field aces." Those are the most fun for me, but if you want to call a 100' shot that goes in a "putt," that's fine too. I just can't use a putting motion from that distance, and I agree with Apothecary about aces. I'd rather throw a dozen parked birdies in a round than 4 aces. Well, maybe not, because 4 aces in a round would make me feel like Chuck Norris's little brother, but I'm still going for the parkage rather than the aceage.

 

[Jimb]

I've only had one shot stick in the basket from a tee, and that was during a practice round at my home course so it's not an official ace. But it felt great. So when I get my first ace, I'm sure that it will be totally sweet.

But the 260' upshot for a tap-in is nice too... and much more achievable for me thus far.
