I hit a 7 at a pin 168 yards away normal weather conditions it was a nice shot with minor draw. It landed right near the flag stick but the ball rolled about 15 feet past maybe 20 maybe less poor judge of distance. ( I know my carry because I layered the flag) Should I be happy with this or should a 7 stop a lot quicker. My 9-lob wedge stop within 3 feet of landing. 8 starts o roll some than the 7-6-5 roll out like described above Are these clubs that should stop or is that roll normal. Thanks love this site

Obvious answer but it depends on the green. On what I consider a typical green a 7 iron would stop within a foot or two, or come back a foot or two, but I've played on some greens where it was hard to stop any club.

Hit down on the ball, divot need to be in front of the ball, creating higher launch, steeper decent, with more spin......with your seven iron you might even spin it back from where it hit. Is this the right forum for this question?

Already been said but yeah it depends on the firmness of the green, if the shot was uphill, slopes on the greens, etc.  Generally I would say a little roll out with a seven iron is normal.

Actually it's the opposite, all things equal, more decent launches the ball lower, shallow launches it higher.

All about conditions here. If it's dry and hot with no wind the ball rolls quite a bit. For me a 7i performs more like a long iron than a wedge.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
    • to confirm, I'll need a hotel for Friday and Saturday, planning to share with you
