Good shots, BerntR. And great memories. True 'Mastercard' Moments: Priceless!
Mine came last Sunday...an eagle three at the par five 18th at Atlanta Country Club. A strong, draw-shot drive -- my best of a good day -- that carried 'sissy ridge' and bounded around the dogleg corner. A soft five-wood at 85 percent Lag Pressure that 'dropped and stopped' fifteen feet right of the hole. And a dead-in-the-middle Putt. Three perfect shots in a row.
Waconah Country Club in August. Down six shots to my brother after the Tenth hole. Had back to back birdies and shot a 38 on the back nine to tie him. The last putt was a 18 footer on the 18th green that I sunk. The head pro and observers were outside on the balcony watching as I made the putt. They cheered as I lifted my putter!!!!!!.
At the 8th, par 3, at MacGregor Downs in Cary, NC with two greenies riding my dad and I were playing a couple of his friends. I hit the green to about 20 feet after my dad missed in the bunker. Our opponents stuck one to about 3 feet. There was quite a lot of good natured gamesmanship and comments of a 'lucky' shot....
Next hole (par 5) we've pressed the 9. My drive is in the sticks in jail, but I manage to hit a great recovery to about 140. Standing next to our opponent who hit the 'lucky' shot on the last to take the greenies I said... "now its my turn to be 'lucky'.... hit a beautiful 3/4 knockdown 8 iron to a foot. The 'lucky' opponent was quiet the rest of the day, especially when I finished birdie, birdie to win $20 off of him.
I supposed my 'favorite' shots of the year were at OCN on the first hole playing with Lynn - nice 35 footer for birdie. Keeping up with Ted with the driver and putter on at least a few occasions that trip was also a blast

My drive from the tips on 18th at TPC Sawgrass Stadium course the day after seeing Yoda, YodasLuke et al.
There it was. The hardest hole on the PGA Tour. Tour scoring average 4.37.
After a ridiculous four-putt double bogey on 16 and a very undramatic par on 17.
The drive sailed over the water, caught a speedbump and landed in spot A on the fairway.
Continued - for some reason - with an unusual low, sweet 6-iron punch to 8 feet and holed the curveball for birdie.
Way to cap off the trip to the US and head home again.
