When you’re between your 7I and your 8I, what kind of shot do you play? A soft 7? Punch an 8? Here’s some practical advice: take the club that will land the ball on the green. If the pin is in the back, take the 8I. If the pin is in the front, take the 7I. Your “normal shot” will be on the green, leaving you with a putt at a birdie.
Between Clubs? Land it on the Green.
When you’re faced with an in-between shot, choose the club that lands the ball on the green.
