Most Demoralizing Miss?

[Jericho]

Stellar drive followed by terrible approach (chunked wedge in particular)

 

[huhhh]

definetly the Chunk...The closer to the green the worse it feels. Also easy lob over the greenside bunker...that lands IN the greenside bunker.

My first answer is blading a wedge over the green. On a local THP outing at Arrowhead with Kang, J4U and PhillyGolfer though, I punched a four iron out from behind a tree as it got to the center of the fairway, it appeared to accelerate, hopping along and headed right past a white stake I didn't notice until the ball was passing it. Who would have thought there would be OB markers between two fairways? I couldn't believe I managed to punch the ball out of bounds...

It's the shank and always will be. Mine pop up, usually with a wedge. They say the hardest shot in golf, is the shot that follows a shank. And it is. It's like a gremlin is banging pots and pans in your head as you stand over that shot, hoping and praying it was a fluke and hasn't settled in.

My first round of the year, I was hitting my 3rd into a par 5, had about 125, which was maxing out my SW. I hit my first just left and short of the green. I decided to lay down another ball and try again. Proceeded to shank it. Laid down another. Shanked it too. I proceeded to do this 7 times. Hadn't done it all round. Or in months. Finally hit another one to about where I put the first ball. I was shocked and was a little pissy picking up all those shanked balls. Didn't do it again the rest of the round.

And then there is also this........

I hate being at a distance that I know if I hit a perfect 3 wood I'll hit into the group in front of me on the green. 95% of the time I'll be 5-10yds short but I wait for them all to putt out just in case I hit the rare perfect 3wood shot for me. Seems like 99% of the time I wait and I end up chunking it or putting it off to the right and people playing with me wondering why I waited....hate that sooo much.

Skying a driver or wood and leaving a nice mark on the crown. Insult to injury

 

[Nixhex524]

I'd say any time I hit a sh*nk.

Exactly this.

Misses, thin shots and fat ones are a part of the game that happens from time to time. BUT hitting a hosel rocket is by far (for me) the worst and most demoralizing of shots to hit on the course (or range), hands down.

 

[HoselRocket104]

Mine is the yip/seizure putt. 3ft to 10ft. You have a confident line. You know the speed. Take the putter back and have a seizure. Never even give it a chance to find the hole. I lose all feeling with the putter after that.

 

[Bubbles]

The flubbed chip shot is what gets me. Never fails that I need to make a 10-15 yard chip shot and get waaaaay under it and it does 3 yards.

Slow round, jerk we were playing with made a scene about playing through.
Slower group waived us to play through and hit to a short par 3 over water while they waited near the green.
All 3 of us put it in the water, very demoralizing.

 

[GenErr]

A sh**k from within 25 yards of the green!

 

[Shook]

Saying "oh yeah, I can get over this tree with my 8-iron," then blading it square in the trunk

 

[Paladin]

And then there is also this........

The smash factor of the leading edge of my sand wedge is unreal.

Had one today: smoked a driver down the middle of the fairway, had an easy lob wedge into the green and chunked it.

 

[Harvmp28]

Chunk, just such a disappointing result when it happens

haha I love this! :bomb:


I hate the hosel rocket the most followed by the chunkster and then of course old man skully

 

[Shook]

"I'm going to wait for the green to clear in case I reach it in 2." *shank*

 

[Borss]

Thinning a wedge over the green will get me mad in a hurry.

I agree.

I waste far too many good drives. Those are often my worst holes.

It's such a downer. You go from putting yourself in a good spot for a birdie to scrambling to make par.
