It's situational. I mostly use my 56 for ship shots. I only use my 60 for green side bunkers or elevated greens like I have at my course.
Bump and runs are situational too. How much green, break location and degree of break will determine which Iron to use.

Unlikely since I don't carry a 60° or any other LW.

I use my 50° GW for at least 90% of my greenside play, the rest with 56° SW. The percentages with the 50° might even be higher. That isn't counting shots from 50 yards and out, only close in pitches and chips.

I tried it but my distance control isn't that good so sometimes I land it just short or at the flag with a flop shot but I don't have enough spin to stop it so it rolls by about 5-6 feet. I think I'm going to try using my 56 from now on and playing a more conservative bump and run.

Oddly enough one day I was messing around on a practice green and tried to chip with my 60 degree. I actually caught the ball underneath and it had a small hop then checked up and went into the cup from about 6 feet away. I tried it again and discovered I was more accurate hitting shots like that than normal putting getting 4-5 shots to go in or barely lip out. I didn't take any kind of divot in the green the club just slid underneath the ball which took a hop and checked up.

      In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).

      Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!

      How far back are we talking? Like I've played Inwood on Long Island and that held a US Open back in the day (nearly 100 years ago now). Courses that have held big events recently: Shinnecock Hills Merion Bethpage Black Winged Foot West Kiawah Island Ocean TPC Sawgrass Walton Heath Old Royal St Georges Royal Liverpool The Old Course Turnberry Muirfield Kingsbarns Royal Porthcawl Phoenix Country Club A few others that have held European Tour events relatively recently, and then these ones that held big events a long time ago: Royal Cinque Ports Prestwick Princes Inwood

      I get he thinks he can compete, but it's time to enjoy retirement. Get involved in golf in other ways. Go design hundreds of new courses. Expand the game. Maybe tee it up at the Majors from time to time. Yea, it is over.
