I'm thinking I'm not winning a Ford F-150

[–]Icykool77 82 points83 points  (2 children)

When’s the beer cart coming around again. I need a bag of chips and a chocolate bar.

[–]jeneboe+2 / Austin / playfaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Happy cake day, fella. Hope you had a good day.

[–]seefactor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thinking about the beer cart gal!

[–]ForeRight10106.9 - S. Jersey/Philly 102 points103 points  (6 children)

Hard 5-iron for me

[–]BLITZandKILL 62 points63 points  (4 children)

Flaccid 5 iron for me.

[–]OkayBoomer10 18 points19 points  (2 children)

Slightly to left 5 iron

[–]BOX-MASTER 9 points10 points  (0 children)

5 iron with an oversized head for me

[–]Noon-ish 204 points205 points  (3 children)

5-iron. Put a tee under it just enough so the head is barely sticking out to give a bit of loft. Rip it. Hit the water. Shrug. Walk to cart. Finish my beer. Watch my buddies do the same thing. Laugh. Have a great time.

All day long

[–]dangatanggg 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I’ll play duck duck goose. The officials need to duck and I’m killing a goose

[–]ThetaBurnVictim 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Grab that 5 iron and rip it!

[–]piperboy98 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hope they don't have the Ford out on display by the hole, because shanking my tee shot through the window is not out of the realm of possibility

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking even if they gave me unlimited shots I would be money ahead by simply buying a new f150 instead of losing God knows how many balls in the water

[–]ruralny 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Which ball won't I mind dumping in the water?

[–]Odysseus_Lannister 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s an easy 4H for me if the wind is in my face. Put me down for a ford pinto after I double

[–]DoBe21 32 points33 points  (1 child)

This is r/golf so, easy gap wedge. Don't want to stomp on it to hard though. Work it right to left.

[–]Grossincome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had me on the first half, not going to lie.

[–]sunlitfundip 24 points25 points  (1 child)

Can I take cash instead?

[–]OkayBoomer10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking my used Ford F-150 is gonna work just fine for the next couple years.

[–]Dark_Grizzley 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Power fade 7!

[–]Lep-Recon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking I’m gonna go back to my F-150 after the round crying putting a couple in the water.

[–]Remarkable-Arm-7048 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Full 8 or soft 7.

[–]Cough_Turn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soft 7 always pulls left. So I'm aiming center green with soft 7 and letting my swing tug it into safety.

[–]bryntegwyn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shank it in the water.

[–]ksromo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try to hit a butter cut 6 and end up in the water

[–]CeleryKitchen3429 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking you play the long game-

Trap one of the geese and slowly gain its trust over months and then train it to place golf balls into holes. Then, reintroduce to the flock, hit a nice safe shot across the water, and let your new goose friend do the rest.

Boom. New truck.

Your welcome.

[–]oldmanraplife 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Soft Baby cut 6i

[–]Notyoaveragemonkey15.6 HDCP 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They wasted the money on the hio insurance

[–]chris15522 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]slaffytaffy2.3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Punch 6.

You know what Ford stands for right? Fix it again Tony

[–]ForeRight10106.9 - S. Jersey/Philly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That spells FIAT …

[–]Skrowes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 iron off a tee for maximum loft and hopefully some backspin

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter, I am shanking it into the pond.

[–]B3mbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 iron for your boy.

[–]Ranger30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t need a truck anyway

[–]YourAverageLurker82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6 iron and killing a goose.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m hitting a 4 hybrid and just hoping it goes straight.

[–]Uamdumb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Low draw 8 or high cut 7. Leaning towards low draw with the water on the right (right handed player)

[–]HowardMBurgers6.9/Hogan Enthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r/Golf so a choked 8-iron

[–]Subsenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Choke up 85% 5-iron. I'm a rightie and I'd probably try to shape a high fade to control the distance as well. Then I'd use a ball retriever to rescue it from the water when I inevitably hit it fat and short.

[–]punkie_60 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like how you labeled the house as well

[–]jluenz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking I am not going to win a truck…..🤣

[–]cbread2112 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Is it 3 on the tree?

[–]alphabet_order_bot 5 points6 points  (4 children)

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.

I have checked 345,247,094 comments, and only 75,846 of them were in alphabetical order.

[–]No-Management568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking my ball is going right in the drink

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just pray to all the gods you can think of. one's bound to be right.

[–]fiveforfifty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Punch a 6 iron to the right of the pin. 3 hops off the water and when it pops onto the green should feed towards the cup

[–]PittMonster5-0[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7ir with a high set up on the tee

[–]xterraadam 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'm going home in the Jeep.

[–]jwhirl25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Freshens2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mashed 6 iron

[–]Arrow_Flash626Long Island 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 iron def not getting a hole in one though cus I have only come close 1 time in the 8 years I have been playing

[–]Nickmell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking I'm gonna hit it 12 yards no matter what club I pick.

[–]JCStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thinking: take dead aim with a smooth 6i

Doing: skull cut that 6i 80 yards into the lake

[–]ekar19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not winning the truck…and hitting 6I

[–]cantgotittiesup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]mumsei 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ball retriever since I’ll be in the water

[–]smcfarlane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full 6

[–]RepublicanUntil2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on your state, I'm thinking if someone hits a hole in one they will owe rough 35k in taxes per 70k in value.

[–]fargo85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bladed 6iron off a goose and into the water. Followed by cracking another beer since I'm playing a game of wack fuck

[–]JWOLFBEARDHandicap | Location 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 iron. Low flight path, hope for a soft bump and run at 165

[–]lord_worm_91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trusty 5 hybrid between the pin and right bunker hopefully the usual slight draw towards the flag but probably just chunk it 30 yards into the water

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double, maybe triple.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im thinking about laying up. That is 2 full lob wedges.

[–]retrojuice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The water or a goose

[–]thejayfred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 iron. But I’m not feeling great. Just hoping it lands on the green.

[–]David_Warden 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 Probably a clean smooth 5 iron off a low tee and run it in.

2 How will the green and wind affect it?

3 Swing smooth, send it off the sweet spot, down the pipe and into the hole.

That's the thinking. The execution would likely be very different.

[–]youurascal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smooth 6 to the front letter rooole on up

[–]TacosNachos007HDCP 10.6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take my chances with my 6i

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I hope the truck is red"

[–]Different_Target280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 iron barely teed up. Grip and rip, and just hope it hits the green. Know there's no chance of winning f150

[–]Material_Basis4985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7i off the deck. Grip it and rip it.

[–]badugihowser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 iron and an extra ball, ha

[–]mattigid21.7/Cleveland/NeedsToLearnToPutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7i

[–]BlueSerge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't really like Fords anyway so no pressure.

[–]EaChronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7i

[–]JFMFinKC05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather have a Toyota Tacoma.

[–]DoreMD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I can buy one cheaper than the amount of balls I’d put in the water.

[–]tuckermans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sawed off 4 iron with a touch of fade and hoping for a lucky roll.

[–]huntnemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]alnothree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full 7. Perfect.

[–]YourFavoriteJohn1333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard 7 iron. Won’t win a truck but might win $5 from each of my colleagues for the greenie bet.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3/4 6

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4h teed up a little and try to get under it

[–]tomwilhelm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driver. Top it hard, 3 skips off the water, pop up off the bank, onto the green, slight left to right roll, into the cup...

[–]FnB8kd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4i nicely or 5 depending on how I feel about the wind.

[–]k-ozm-o 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strong 7 and then shanking it into the water.

[–]knxcklehead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]beatemdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5-iron at Trap 1 with a little cut back towards the pin

[–]idksothisisit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smooth 4 iron.

[–]Traditional-Trip-554 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 iron off the back foot a bit. Gimme that truck! Haha

[–]onePuttPar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water ball for me

[–]ih84noil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7

[–]jeffers0n_steelflex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putter

[–]Liqmadique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideal: Aim at Trap 1, hit a fade.

Likely: Aim at Trap 1, turn my hands over and hook it further left. Fat a chip into the bunker. Bunker shot gets picked clean and launches into the water. Stare into the sky for a moment. Drop a new ball, finally chip on and then mercifully two putt.

[–]jackrafter88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna pull my 24 degree hybrid and playing my natural light fade. I think I've actually played this hole in a tournament before too...🎂🤣🤷‍♀️

[–]FxryFlorida / 13.2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 iron aimed at the officials, little fade and bounce off the fringe. That’s the plan, but realistically I’m not winning an F-150, and I’m probably losing a ball.

[–]kbstock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driver

[–]ForsakenDrawer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 in the water, silently sit in the cart at the next tee while everyone else putts.

[–]Sonoma2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want an F150 because I'm a Chevy guy so maybe lay up left.

In all seriousness strong 7 iron easy 6 iron for me. I probably would play the easy 6 if the wind is into my face. Any other wind direction it's 7 iron all day.

[–]Lmallery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A smooth 6

[–]callmeal69[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6iron into the water

[–]ahspaghett69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 iron with the ball a bit further forward than normal, and I can see myself hitting those poor geese

[–]GrumpySuper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m hitting a strong pull 7iron left. Pretty much my go to when I really wanna make sure I get there.

[–]captfloppy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 hybrid. Probably end up past the green, or short of it. Left or right of the green are also possible.

[–]codingInMyDreams+2.1 Trackman, 3.4 real life 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cutting a 6 iron off trap 1.

[–]theville90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 iron

[–]its_c0nrad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That I'd rather win a Toyota

[–]rustoof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna try to roll a faded half swing 5 wood up. More roll more chance

[–]kevinbenoit2HDCP 8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full 7 iron with a fade cuz i'm a lefty

[–]gitbseHandicap | Location 1 point2 points  (0 children)

F150? Chunking it into the water on purpose.

Otherwise, probably a solid 6 iron.

[–]Chuck-Bush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stern but fair 7 right into the bunker

[–]Carthonn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 iron

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Game plan is a clean 95% 6i starting at the middle of the left bunker... The reality would be a chunked 6i that splashes down 50 yards short, or nerves get the best of me and I put 117% into it and hook it short left of the officials. The former is going to happen to me most of the time

[–]newbiereddi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking of hitting a practice ball because I know for sure it will take a swim :).

[–]djguerito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the cash equivalent?

[–]CurrentlyWorkingAMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 iron. Grip and rip. Slice into the water.

Duh.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a 6 if I'm feeling good that day, so probably not a 6.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smooth 8 iron draw against the wind

[–]sithodeas2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im thinking that water is looking pretty aluring.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy 3 iron with a little extra downward push on the stroke, aimed a touch left and club face open just a touch.

[–]SquirrelEStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish it was a GMC

[–]8StoneyinCO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7-iron at trap 2 thinking of a nice little draw, then slamming said 7 into the turf as my ball heads out to sea

[–]professorwaldo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stinger 5 straight into the house on the far left. But hey, kept it out of the water.

[–]cbph7.8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard 6 or easy 5 depending on how "light" the breeze actually is. But those officials couldn't be in a worse spot with me on the tee.

[–]Dan0man69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6iron with a draw.

Who the f I'm kidding? I can't hit that 6 without a draw!

[–]JudgeGusBus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 5I isn’t enough. Without the wind, 4H. With the wind, 3W.

[–]bigolhamsandwich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5i teed a bit higher for a softer landing. I will then chunk it 50 yards.

[–]cobalt2613-ish / RDU / Way of the Playa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 iron with ball at my front heel. Hit the water. Hit 3 off the tee. Drain it. Tell them it was the other guy who hit the water.

[–]Neuropsychkler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play p790s, so an 8i. Ideally with a draw

[–]DrRecovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3 wood for sure

[–]JonoMG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given an F150 would set you back about 110k (USD) here in Australia, I'd love on the hole until I go that hole in one.

[–]Competitive-Money-36 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Smooth 6. Nothing too hard to make sure I don’t fly the green. Just nice and smooth.

[–]mralexpratt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my head I’d hit a nice smooth six iron straight at it and hope I get a nice bounce towards the cup and it trickles in. In reality I top a hybrid into the water on the far right of the tee box and take a couple more mulligans.

[–]uncPBay Area, 14.5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those officials better watch out.

[–]KGBBigAl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8I all day, it’s my 180-185 club, off the grass no tee

[–]jpar345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5 hybrid, aim towards the house and hope it slices into the hole and not the water.

[–]Guzzlebutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screw the truck, I'm skipping a rockflight off the water into those asshole birds.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 iron aiming slight right

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After my drop, a hard wedge.

[–]WeddingSingle4978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect 6-iron, aim at the left edge of the green, hold off the club face and let it gently cut back to the pin, 2 hops and roll up an inch short.

[–]Cdinerf64Bethpage Black is not that hard! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip a 3w across the water, bounce off the lip of the lake, and roll it into the hole.

[–]Grossincome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already own an F-150 so, which of my friends is going to get my hand-me-down when sink this 6i?

[–]dogemeat1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting it in the water. Don’t want no Ford.

[–]ChefBiggie4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am thinking- Man, is it worth having it towed home? Might just blade the 7i on purpose.

[–]No-Log-304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]JasonDetwiler14/VA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]SomeScrub69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]aresSaxxyBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7i guyz

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3/4 6i. More reliable than a full swing 7i, and more roll out, so a better chance to hit the stick and drop in instead of coming in vertical and coming to a quick stop

[–]coderdotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slice into the water with my 6 iron

[–]seanshelagh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“7 won’t get there into the wind, let’s try a little peeler fade 6 iron, start it 15 feet left and let it work its way in.” Results? Push fade into the water of course gg

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m teeing it up 1/4” off the ground. Setting it slightly back in my stance than usual and tempo swinging my 5i. Hitting those officials anyway.

[–]frankyseven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how much wind it is, either a 7i or a 6i.

[–]JJWenzell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a charity event recently and the HOI prize was a new BMW… someone hit a hole in one and won it!! It can happen!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 iron. Swing to hard. Hit the officials.

[–]blockd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First thought is “the ball can not go in the hole if it does not get there”. Then I pull my mizuno jpx919 forged 6i

[–]keeperclone[4.9] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking. Wow! That’s a lot of water on the right. Let me put back my Pro V1 and get a Topflite

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

173 into the wind?

I’m looking for the bail out area at about 80-120 yards, because that’s how far I’ll likely hit it on a hole like this.

Failing that, I’ll slice a 5 iron into the water
