what is your go to shot from 100 yards in the fairway? - Page 4

I gotta go with a full 58* club. Perfect full shot ydg for that club in my arsenal.

After posting here, I went out the next day and faced this shot on the first hole. Had a steady breeze in my face so tried for the knock down PW and hit it over. I wouldn't of won a bet with that shot!

I would say a full pitching wedge I tend to hit it kind of high and lazy but it tends to be spot on for that kind of yardage 

Depends upon where the trouble is.  But usually a SW unless there is trouble short then a gap wedge.

Punch a 9-iron. Works like a charm.

It depends on the conditions and the individual hole. Soft or hard green? What is the pin position? Where is the trouble? Is it windy or calm? Where do I want to be putting from? Is a high shot with spin appropriate or a lower shot that runs appropriate? Soft green with calm wind and level green around the cup I will hit a full 52 degree wedge. Windy with the pin back on a hard green and a green sloping forward I would hit more of 3/4 pw and let it run up to leave it below the hole. Of course I can't always hit it to the place where I want to be putting from, but it usually doesn't hurt to try!
 

Yesterday I had 3 situations 100 - 105 to the pin but straight into the wind so I opted for a choked up 3/4 PW instead of a SW - worked great each time..

it always "depends", so you have to assume....

do you have a club/swing combo that carries about 100 yards with little roll or backspin - I think your 'full 52 wedge' met the intent

(no wind day, level shot, good lie or tee, not under a tree or on the moon, nothing extreme about the green, etc etc ets)

No traps? No water? 

Putter.

UW (50 degrees), light full swing (take the club all the way back, let gravity do most of the work going down).

I faced it yesterday on my second hole. Had to lay up after a lousy drive.Choked down wedge, low dart, right at the hole to four feet for par. Pissed 'em all off.

Depends how I feel on the day. In the main I'd probably hit a solid 52deg wedge slightly back in my stance but on occasion I might see the shot as a lower 3/4 punched PW (48deg).

Provided the wind's now howling, and a center pin, a smooth AW

Great recovery.

You should play with grown ups.  12 year olds are really petty.

52* for me...
