Examples of hammered in a Sentence
If the Conservatives are serious about removing Prime Minister Boris Johnson, they must also be serious about replacing Prime Minister Boris Johnson with someone who can sincerely relaunch a party that has been in government since 2010, if they do get absolutely hammered at the locals, which is not out of the question and quite common for sitting governments, it would put that new leader immediately on the back foot.

I had not played the hole before. I just hit a little stock cut. ... He was 11 yards by me. If that's what it takes to stroke his ego, then that's what it takes. Had I known that he was going to make a big deal about it, I would have swung a fraction harder and put it past him.
