What is the hardest shot in golf?

[Jason89er]

Pitch shot over a bunker when short sided, downhill to the flag, a super naked tight lie and water on the other side of the green if it rolls off ect. Best case on these is 15-20ft past the hole. Worst case is well…several of these. Very hard shot and not many safe options either.

 

[TxAggie2018]

Either bunker shots off a downslope, or a downslope pitch shot to a green that's running away from you.

 

[Slot708]

The 60-70 yard up hill shot to a tightly bunkered narrow portion of the green.

Second is downhill bunker lie with water on other side of the green if you skull it

It’s so funny, @Pops can attest that somehow I’m insanely good at those shots

But MAN do they suck!

Above my feet i'm a wizard.....below, i'm just hoping not to hosel LOL

 

[JW Smoove]

Lots of them
Ball in but on edge of bunker feet out of bunker
Buried lie
First tee without warm up
First tee at an event
4-5 footer to win or split a hole or keep a match going
Ball below feet
Deep rough

I’ll stop now

 

[mtbloco]

Short sided downhill buried lie in dormant Bermuda

Playing as a single and the group in front lets you pass them. That tee shot is always terrifying.

First tee at a THP Experience at Ballyhack golf club

This was my first thought!!

 

[Scribble]

Downhill lie touch shot over hazard or penalty area.

 

[stryper]

For me it’s a narrow fairway with OB on one side and water on the other with nowhere to miss.

 

[Junkyard]

25-35 yard bunker shot over another bunker. Might as well pick up the ball, toss it in the second bunker, and save some time

 

[GolfFest]

I think the bunker shot from around 40 yards.

 

[PiratePenguin]

Any intentional fade #drawproblems

 

[Phil75070]

For me personally, a shot from a downhill lie to an elevated green over water.

 

[Bernoulli]

This. I was going to respond with all of them but really a forced carry is the hardest.

I tend to overswing / swing quicker and tend to lose them high, short and right.

 

[JohnSinVA]

Lagging long putts. Just can never seem to get them within a high percentage distance from the hole.

 

[dhartmann34]

40-75 yard bunker shot

 

[War Eagle]

Tight lie over a bunker to a short sided pin.

 

[leftybob]

25-35 yard bunker shot over another bunker. Might as well pick up the ball, toss it in the second bunker, and save some time

Last time I had one of those I managed to catch it thin and hit it 15 yards over the back of the green.

 

[OhioGolfer]

Long forced carries and uneven lies.

 

[PhillyV]

This one

 

[4hourrule]

Stiff wind behind me with a guarded Par 3. I'd rather hit into the Wind.

 

[PatsFan]

Short sided Flop over a bunker

 

[kiwichris]

Apparently yesterday it was hitting a provisional after pulling tee shots OB

 

[WSox fan]

For me it is definitely ball below my feet
