Funny how a perfect drive and well hit 3 wood stick in the memory and seem to carry more weight than a good chip and putt do but have the same effect on a score..
From a purely visceral standpoint there are few things in golf that feel better than slamming a drive right down the center of the fairway and following it up by flushing a 3 wood. Now granted I agree that I good chip and a puttt have the same effect but I'll take that driver, and 3 wood combination on a par 5 EVERY TIME.

I agree, but the fact that even then I'm still usually at least half a SW short takes some of the fun out of it.
I just love it when one of the pro golfers is standing in the middle of the fairway on a 560 yard par five hitting his second shot into the green with like a 5 iron. I love the reaction when they only hit it within like 40 feet of the hole. The look of disgust! If I was ever able to do that I would spend the next half hour on my cell phone calling all my friends. Gotta love golf.
I'm happy when my second shot just stays in the same fairway!

yeah, their standards and expectations are a bit higher than ours. It's funny, I have a friend who is like a 36 handicap, if there is such a thing, and if he rolls a 40 footer, and it just misses the hole, he gets mad. He acts as though he should have made it... i always get a good laugh out of that.

Every other time I've played this hole, I've laid up with a 5 or 6 iron and just used a wedge to get on in three (hopefully), but I thought I'd go for it just for the **** of it. I was just out there by myself playing for the first time in two and a half months so I wasn't too woried if it went left or right.
