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. Fo Sho!.

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.

    • Shot a +1 73 today. Pretty pleased with the round even though it could have been 3-4 strokes lower without hitting it much different. 1 topped tee shot, a thinned wedge over the green from 40yds, and 2 putts that hung on the lip all could have made this a phenomenal round. 4 birdies total. Had an interesting back 9, 3 birdies, 3 pars, 3 bogeys and a penalty stroke. Birdied 1 and 18 so that was a fun way to start and end the round.
    • Try some Tour Balatas and an Alien wedge….😏
    • Fresh out of the box. Grooves look fine.
    • Day 17 (18 May 24) - after band rehearsal this morning got home to a rainy afternoon so no outside stuff today.  Had some things to tackle in the shop, so I took the time to roll some putts on the rugs in the shop.  Able to work on tempo and distance control as I have a rug that rolls really well…so it makes for some fun work with the putter. 
    • What ball were you using and how fresh are the grooves on your wedges? I practice chip shots with my gamer, and while it's a lower spin ball I'm still able to hit it. Not necessarily the one hop then stop on a dime, but a low one that hops once with a ton of spin and trickles maybe a few feet.
