I currently have 4 wedges in my bag and a good practice drill for me is the 90/90 drill or the 3 o'clock 9'oclock drill...just practice your wedges with taking that club back picturing facing a clock to 3 O'clock (or 90 degree wrists) through to 9 O'clock (same 90 degree on follow through) while following through to target, you'll get a good feel as to how your clubs react and the distances you get

LSU-Don,
My inside 100 shots seemed to improve when I quit routing for the wrong college football team. Just a thought.

i play my 60 degree wedge for all shots under 100

Two scenerios: 1. You hit a 3 wood or less to 100 yards and make birdie or at worst par because you hit it to a distance you are comfortable with.

2. You bust a big drive to 50 yards out and because you can't seem to hit a 50 yard shot, you make bogey. Par if you get up and down. I think it is obvious. You dont have to prove you can hit it 300 yards on every hole if it doesnt call for it. YOU know you can hit it that far. Save it for when it is needed. I say you focus on swing speed, but make sure to still accelerate through the ball.

    • I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.
    • Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast. 
    • I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.
    • Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine. 
    • I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
