This is always a favorite topic of mine to ask at the end of each calendar year. With 2017 nearly behind us, what was the best golf shot you hit this year?

Second shot on the short par 4 5th at Makefield Highlands in a Philly Club event. First shot was a five iron to the right side of the fairway, second shot was a 3/4 52* about 95 yards down hill, landed short of the hole and rolled in for eagle! We won't talk about the double that followed on the next hole... I saw it! It was awesome!

A chip in! July tournament at Cress Creek on number 14 for a birdie and it held up so it was worth about $400 for our team.

Daniel, Jon, and Jessie were witnesses to mine. On the 9th hole at Tobacco Road during the NGT, I hooked a drive that I thought was going to be lost. Somehow, it took a hard bounce right and ended up in the fairway. That alone proved God was on my side that day. Because of where I thought my ball would be, compared to where it actually turned up, I didn't have the right club with me for this next shot. I had 175 in, going uphill to that extremely intimidating green. That's probably a 5 iron for me, and I had 7 with me because I originally assumed I'd be having to lay up to a wedge distance. To make matters harder, the trees on the left were in my target line, and I'm staring at that deep, huge bunker on the right with a club I don't think can get me to the green. Pardon my French, but I pured the shit out of this 7 iron. It drew perfectly, and I couldn't tell where it ended up exactly, but it wasn't going to be in any kind of trouble. Somehow it finished 3 feet from the hole. Further proof the man upstairs was on my side. We won't talk about the putt I then missed, but in terms of shot quality, that's going to stand out for a long time in my mind. One of, if not the best shot I've ever hit. I saw it.. remember it.. crazy..

I know that Vince and. Scott H are are thinking about hole 3 at Tobacco Road, But that shot fell a quarter inch away from being great. As far as a great shot that netted a great result, it was a couple of months ago at Shulas golf club on hole 16. Hit a decent drive and had 260 into the hole. I hit a really nice 3W that road the flag the entire way. Landed 5 feet away and made the Eagle putt. The shot was really nice to watch. I’ll post the pic of the near Ace though... just to piss me off. Holy shit, Jay ....

Had one really good one early in the season while playing in an outing with a vendor. Par 3, 180-something yards, and dead into a 25-30 mph wind. Of course it was the win-a-car-for-a-hole-in-one par 3. I was having a hard time trying to figure out what club to use. Not one of my teammates came close to hitting the green. I was tempted to go with the driver, but the tee was elevated and the flag down on the green was not moving much. So after a team conference, I went with choking down on a 3 wood and punching it through the wind. Flushed it ! It went screaming towards the flag, sending up cheers from the other three watching from the tee. Ended up 5 feet past the pin. Sometimes I surprise even myself. And no draw, Jay, sorry .... The guy monitoring the hole was still in shock when we pulled up to the green, and couldn't stop talking about what a great shot it was. Too bad it didn't win me anything, but I will remember that one for a long time.
