I have a couple "strings" of shots that really stand out for me, all from The Legacy with my partner Greggdrews.
Hole 7 Caledonia. Alternate Shot. Greggdrews (Mr. Fairway Finder) pulls his drive left, into the water hazard (I honestly didn't see him hit any other bad drive the entire trip). Advantage Erky/jhoefer. I take the drop (which will require me to hit under low hanging branches towards the green). It's match play, right, and we're up in the match? Yep, let's try to get this close to the green for Gregg. Hit the recovery shot of my life with a low 5 iron that ends up on the green with a putt for par. We tied that hole to stay up in the match.
Holes 11 and 12 Caledonia. Still Alt Shot. Greggdrews has the tee on 11, a par 3. Hits a very good tee shot to around 20 to 25 feet. I hit the putt of the competition (for me), a big right to left bender, downhill. Birdie to win the hole. I'm feeling super confident, but there's a long wait on #12 tee. Finally my tee box, and I know what I want to do; hit a nice fade and keep the pressure on. Hit basically the exact shot that I wanted to, though just missed the fairway on the right.
Partnering with Gregg and hitting those shots gave me a bunch of confidence, especially when I step to the tee box even today.
