If you can hit one of your irons 120 yards, and you're 110 yards away from the whole, do you just use less power, or do you, or do you keep the same swing (always) and just switch to a shorter iron? I find it difficult to know which club or how much power to use

If you have a club that goes 110 with a normal swing, hit that club. If you don't, then choke down and/or make a shorter swing to fit the yardage. Those shots are all about practice.

      The Stack System - A Conversation on Gaining Swing Speed

      By DeadMan ·

      Here is a description of all the programs:  Programs & Training Programs and Training TheStack is a personal swing-speed trainer for golfers. Initially, each golfer is piloted through a series of swing speed tests to generate a force-velocity profile of their current swing. Qualitative data is... I think cruiser is meant for maintaining speed and flex can do more than that. But I'm just basing that on the descriptions that I linked.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By jsgolfer ·

      Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By snapfade ·

      I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
