222yd 6 iron? 😳

maybe it’s smart strategy. Just wanted to give yourself a good yardage in.

Yea that surprised me, too. The hole runs downhill and I had a blind shot from where I was. All I knew was I wanted to keep it left of the tree and I hit a low draw that must have run quite a bit.

Just by dumb luck I think I did have a better angle on that second shot than I would have if I drove the ball onto my fairway.

A couple weeks ago I was hitting some balls at the range (at the Club where I am a member) and I was watching these three younger guys coming up the 9th fairway (par 5 with water and island green). I watched one guy hit what I think was 8 or 9 balls into the water from about a 100 yards.  After hitting his last ball in the drink, he threw his club into the pond. His buddies were on the green laughing at him. He then drove his cart towards the green and missed the front of the bridge and slammed the cart into corner of the bridge...smashed up the front of the cart. They were not members...I don't think they will be invited back. I thought it was hilarious. On a side note...I too have "helicoptered" a couple wedges into ponds in the past.

You must’ve hit your ‘tour’ 6i.

Nah, it definitely came out a little low. If anything, I thinned it a bit.
