Best Shot of the Weekend (brag)

[pokerbobo]

Playing a round with my friend, and both or our dads.

Two man scramble, fathers vs sons for dinner bill.

I am the highest h-cap player, and am definitly worst chipper in group. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

(12th hole in a very close contest, never more than 2 strokes up or down)

The shot: sitting on L side of green in rough. Must clear 2 ft of rough, 6 ft wide cart path 4 more feet of rough....leading to pin which is only a few paces on from the L side. Green is severe slope away from us.

My partner hits first. lands ball just on green, slope takes it away, leaves a 45 footer back up the slope.

I realize after watching this, that I have zero chance to stop the ball with my 60 degree. I put that club back in my bag and grab a 8 iron. i give a little pop to the ball, bounce it off the cart path, it lands at the edge of the rough (decelerating it some more) the ball slowly lands on the green and the slope takes it down toward the hole. (left us a 4 footer to save par.) Hooray (made putt) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I called it off the cart path prior to the shot. i knew I'd hear lucky this, lucky that from the dads if I didn't call it.

Final result: Sons win by one stroke when on the 18th, dads both miss from 5 feet for the tie.

Definitly the Shot of the weekend (we played 4 rounds)

Anyone else ever use the cart path on purpose? (this is the 2nd time I have used it on purpose in my 15 years playing)
