What is the best feeling in Golf?

    (A) Blasting one with the driver straight down the middle and 60 yards past your playing partners

    (B) Stitching a pin from 150 or more yards for definite birdie.

    (C) Chipping in from off the green.

    or

    (D) Rolling in a 40 foot putt.


    Up until recetly I would have said (a) but I holed out from 60 feet yesterday for Eagle in a team comp, and it was awesome. So now I think I would have to say (D) is for me.

    I don't think I can really single out one. It's just they are all the best when each one is done well.

    how do i set up a poll about whether or not this poll is worth the hassle of setting up a poll,cheers

    It's the whole package, to single out any one aspect is to sell yourself short.

    What is best in golf?

    Having my enemies driven before me and to hear the lamentations of their women.

    That or a good chip from off the green. :pac:

    the chip-in for me, because it's a 2 shot swing, often turning a potential bogey into a birdie

    For me the feeling of punching a low iron into a gale force wind and landing it withing 10ft of the pin. Never gets old.

    Or hitting a 3 iron on a long par 3 and putting it within a few feet. Feels good man.

    D) for me.
    Nothing better than the feeling of sinking a long putt. Great when its for a birdie, saving a par or getting away with a bogey.
    Score only counts when the ball is in the hole!!

    Chipping well. Nothing fancy.

    None of the options gets near to the feeling (all, all to rare for me) of holing out on the last (from any length) to beat your handicap by 3 strokes or more.

    Cracking a wood off the fairway on a par five to set up an eagle putt.

    Id be similar;

    You are going well, you know you have a decent score building and you have a mare hole or two. The feeling if you can forget it and bring it back on track to save the round is the greatest. Yes after you will have the what if's. But deep down you know that you got over it. Thats it for me, but am fond of an auld sand save too
