well (5) other could be anything: it could be back on the tee for your 3rd on a par 4 450 yards needing a birdie to force a playoff after losing your first ball.
(5) a 50 yard bunker shot from a downhill, fried egg lie, close to the edge so you can't get a decent stance...
... maybe throw some wind in there for good measure, and maybe a couple of rocks behind the ball too, yeah that'd be pretty tough

it can always get worse....
I'm going with #5 too,
Big pot bunker.... fried egg lie, pile of leaves dumped on top, a boulder thrown in, rocks covering it and also a tree just fell down from the strong wind right on top of your ball.
What does everyone think the hardest shot is in golf? Your on the 18th hole of a major needing:
(1) a 8 foot downhill big left to right putt to get to a playoff
(2) Needing to get up and down form a pot bunker on 18 to make it a playoff?
(3) Needed to stick a 1 iron stiff into the wind?
(4) Just hitting the ball in the **** fairway is the hardest part lol?
(5) Other
I think its number 1. That putt would be impossible to me
For me 1,2 and 3 are nothing I have encountered. 4 is difficult enough for me, but I am going with 5. A 20 yard chip over a bunker on hardpan is the shot that make me shiver. It will usually end up as a nice bladed shot over the green, or 2 or 3 stubs until I get on
I think having to get up & down with Driver from 8" rough from 270 over a stand of 50' pines and a lake into a 40 MPH gale to a tucked pin, island green after I just sprained both wrists and pulled a groin trying to hit out of the junk on the last hole... Yeah I think that would be hard.
hardest shot, IMO, is a putt to win/get into a playoff. When you have one shot and its do or die, the NEVERS come out big time. Or course it has only happend once and that was just a inter-club tourny, but I had my heart halfway in my throat. 3- putted of course .....LOL....
let me think the hardest shot ive had is gettting on as a walkon and getting paired up with three good looking ladys and trying to get off the first tee without shanking a shot...........
A downhill Lie where you have to pitch it on Agusta National Greens when the pin is only 3 paces on the green and it slopes away from you into the creek
