What was your best shot of 2024?

Since I live in the northern part of the US, it is fairly safe to say the 2024 golf season is over for us. Every winter when I have some spare time I like to reflect on all the fun rounds, new courses, and overall best memories of the season.

My best shot this year actually came in one of my last rounds of the season on a difficult day, 50 degrees with winds constantly blowing 20 mph, gusts at 30-35. Playing a 480 yard par 5 downwind, I started off the hole by hitting a 3 wood off the tee really well, got a nice firm bounce in the fairway and just ended up in the right rough.

I got up to my ball, and the lie was not great. Sitting down in rough that wasn’t long, but was fairly thick. I had 215 uphill to a green open in the front. Not much trouble other than green side bunkers. I decided to try hitting hybrid out of this tough spot since there was no chance 4 iron was going through it. I hit a shot that probably carried 175 at the most, and ran up onto the green perfectly to literally 1 inch from the hole. When we drove up to the green I could not believe it. Ball was basically hanging on the left lip for a tap in eagle. Thank God for golf
