I said 5 wood before but that would be a long carry par 3.
On 4s and 5s, a 14 like me has around or less than a 10% chance of hitting the green from 200 yards.
So, on the course, I'll usually go 7 iron and try to get up and down from 40 yards.

Best, Mike Elzey

I wish I could say I take a nice easy 6 iron; however, a 16 degree hybrid or 15 degree 3 wood would be more accurate. At the moment the 16 degree hybrid is back and the 15.5 3 wood is out.

The longest I hit a 4I is 200, and I need the conditions to be right. I usually hit a 3I from 200, but a lot of times I will hit the 2H and play the beat (that club goes about 215 on avg).

I don't think I have ever hit a 5I 200 yds absent some crazy wind.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
