Oh man, where to start. I guess I will go with this year. Can a 300+ drive be your worst shot...yes it can. Par 5 dogleg right (almost 90 degrees) landing spot is in the fairway perpendicular to your drive direction. Houses running up the left hand side and then bhind 15-20yds of woods beyond the fairway. On this hole I aim about 75yds right of the houses, then a 300yd drive ends up in the fairway. I hit a dead bomb pull, running right along the left edge of the fairway, over the woods and smack into a house. Loudest noise I have ever heard on a golf course. Sounded like a rifle being shot right next to your ear.

Bad shots are amplified by the number of people you do not know watching or "affected" by your shot.

My worst shot was years ago when I was playing a par 3 course with friends. I shanked a shot on 18, hitting the window of the pro shop/bar. People came out to see who played the bank shot. Luckily the windows had screens so no broken glass, but it made one heck of a bang.

Do I have to pick just one? Because the possibilities are endless.

Probably earlier this year, and I have never done this on anything other than a chip before. T.C. Chin for ya, but with a freaking hybrid off the tee. I swung, made contact with the face of the club, but somehow, also made contact with the hosel on my follow through, sending the shot dying left, falling out of the sky like a wounded duck. I have no idea how I did it, but I did. My Dad and another friend was playing with me at the time and they both just looked at me, as if to say "WTF just happened". I said "Did you hear that s**t? I hit that ball twice somehow!". Like I said, I have done it a few times on a chip, but NEVER off a tee or anywhere else for that fact.

My worst shot ever was on a chipping green at a course before a local junior tournament. I tried to hit a flop and it bounced off one of those huge bay windows of the clubhouse. Luckily no harm, no foul.

Worst shot on a course was when I was probably 12 or 13, I skulled a 4 iron from the fairway and it went through our playing partners cart. Luckily, he was standing behind the cart and no one was hurt, but it was still pretty awful to say the least.

I was in my 2nd year of playing... decided I wanted to play in a tournament with some buddies. At this time, I can shoot about 100, so I was the worst of the 4 man team.

We are the first group off for the day on hole one, so of course, you have loads of people watching you from the putting green, clubhouse and wherever else.

First guy goes off and hit a good shot, just on the right rough. Up comes Slice (myself). I am as nervous as ever just cause of everyone watching. I line up, take a practice swing and address the ball. Backswing, downswing and SMACKKKKKK... It made an awkward sound, but I continue to the follow thru and did not see the ball for the life of me. So, im gazing to the right and a quiet laughter breaks out. I am clueless, so to pick up my tee and I see my ball completely buried 3 inches from my tee. I topped the ball so bad, it sunk down 3 inches in front of my freaking tee.

Talk about embarrassment!? I was devistated.

4th hole Sunday at the Morgan Cup. My drive went about 20 yards and straight left into a water hazard. That was my 2nd worst shot. Worst shot was trying to play that ball. 2nd shot went straight into the water.

I shanked a mid iron so bad it went almost straight right. I thought it was going to decapitate my friend. Scared the crap out of me.

[VIAGRA-VIAGRA]

during my very first elimination match to tell who would play the 5th varsity spot for the HS golf team, on the first hole. mashed my drive about 280 (no roll/plugged, the course we play at is the wettest place in Oregon that time of year) line up to my second shot, MASSIVE SHANK. I don't know how it didn't go into the water.. and the guy I was playing against hit his shot thin... it hit the pin and dropped about 2 feet away. he made bird, i was hardly on the green in three... pissed me off so much.

Mine came earlier this year. I drove my ball a little right on a par 4 that is a big dog leg right. I was only about 130 or so away for my second shot but couldn't see the green from where I was. The right side has a couple tall trees and a barn that line the rough and make it tougher to cut the corner on this hole. Thankfully I'm left of most of the trees and the barn. I have plenty of space in front of me, all I need to do now is hit a cut around the last tree (the only thing between me and the hole). I haven't hit an iron shot that has faded in forever so I figure if I really exaggerate it I can make it cut (how hard can it be?). Plus I have a PW in my hands so it shouldn't be too difficult... Well, I take my swing and try to open the face and wind up hitting a hosel rocket straight right into the barn which is about 5 yards to my right. The ball bounces off the side of the barn and flies right past me and my group a couple yards in front of us. The ball winds up in the middle of the fairway. I turn to them and say, "Perfect pitch out into the fairway, just as I planned." We all shared a good laugh. Thankfully we are all able to share a good laugh because it didn't catch anyone and wound up being in good position to hit a wedge for my 3rd shot. While the result turned out fine, the shot itself was absolutely embarrassing. The sound it made when it hit the barn had to of been heard by half the course.

Like most, I've had plenty of bad shots, but my most recent was on an outing about a month ago. The wind was howling that day and I must have teed my ball up a little too high. I got underneath of it, but it shot pretty much straight up went over the ladies tees, hung up in the air for a sec and then started blowing back toward us. Stopped back right next to the tee box. Craziest thing any of us had seen. I've seen tee shots pop straight up, but never forward over the front tees and then back at you. LOL
