So we all have 300+ yard drives I am curious from what distance you expect to be on the green? For me anytime I have GW or SW in hand I expect to be on and reasonably close, so maybe 125 and in. I don't often find myself in the 130-160 range, but from there I am confident in at least a chance at an up and down.

Are you the type person who sees 190 to the pin and thinks 'no worries' or are you the type person who says, 'oh no, not another chip to chunk'

Anything between 75-145. Should be solid and close (0-20 ft).

Two go-to distances for me are 3/4 sandwedge from 100 and five iron from 200 yards.

The five iron sound ridiculous and when I see the results from my 5 irons shots I don't know how I do it but somehow it works almost all the time.

Personally my little cut shot with the driver usually lands on the green on the 19th hole at my course which is 345 yards, most the time it lands with a bit of back spin (but if I don't quite hit it right only carries 317 yards) and don't judge me because I had my swing speed checked on a super dupe ball reader machine thingy, which tells me I swing it faster than Tiger Woods.

I figure anytime I'm within par 3 range (tee-to-green), I should be able to hit the green. If I can't, then I need to work more on my game....

My go-to distance is 95 yards: pitching wedge. Don't get me wrong, I love my gap wedge, but the pitching wedge is where I go for when I'm laying up nowadays. I've made many a great par save with it, including once lipping out a shot - on a full swing!

Anything 95-125 is fine with me, though, as most of my birdies have come from these four clubs (PW-7iron). Although just this morning I sank a birdie putt after a 4H shot, that's far from my go-to distance.

70-90 yards..

My PW is my most consistant club. It lands at 70 yards 90% of the time. Occasionally, if I'm well warmed up and stretched out and swinging for the fences, it will suprise me with 90, but it's always right on target....

I would say 120 and in. I feel I can put it real close at these distances.

If I'm around the red disc (100 yrds) at my club then I know I can reach for my PW and generally get up and down in two from there.

Funnily enough, my PW is part of my G5 set, whereas my 52 is a ping tour wedge, and I feel more confident of my yardages and getting a good strike with my PW. I just need to practise more i guess to figue out what my exact yardages are for my other wedges!!

High confidence?
Pin hunting...140+/- and in (9 iron)
Getting on the green...185 and in (6 iron)

I'm not as confident beyond 185 (5i, 4i, H3, 3W), yet while I'm playing I never doubt myself. If I'm facing a 205 4-iron yard shot, I always feel I can get it to my target. If I didn't have the confidence to do it, why even carry a 4-iron?

175 in. That's a good six iron shot, and I'm really good with the shorter irons from six on down.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
