Your ball ends up two feet from the hole. Is that a good shot? Well, it depends where it came from. From anywhere beyond 30 feet yes, but from 5 feet, not. A good shot is usually relative to a player's current ability. Good shots can be creative, imaginative. Maybe using a 3wood for a simple chip from tall grass and making it look easy is a good shot. I think so...So good shots are relative.
But what IS a good shot? In my view, a good shot can be defined by 1) solidness of hit, 2) travels fairly straight, 3) has the correct trajectory, and 4) travels a proper distance for the club used. For a series of good shots, 5) consistency ranks way up there.
Distance cannot be the sole or leading criteria as to a shot's 'good'ness. And grandma's first time at a golf course: knocking it on the 103 yard par3 green. A great shot!!
