Last round I played, I was practicing before the round and though of how I hadn't had a decent chip in for months. On the 15th hole I played a nice pitch and run from 35' barely fell into the hole. Pretty satisfying.

I chipped in with my 60* from a greenside bunker the other day. The ball flew about 6 feet and rolled about 30 downhill into the hole. Hands down my best shot ever.

Congrats chipping in is always a nice feeling. I've never yet to hole one from a far or the sand. My sand game is crap.

The other day I hit a bump and run from about 30 yards out and drained it.

I had to go under two trees, and I hit it about 15 feet harder than I wanted to, but luckily it squared the pin and dropped.

Speaking of chipping in on a practice green i had a 45 foot shot down a hill(it looked impossible) i hit it really hard and it just landed in the hole.

I "chipped" in from out of the sand to save par on a par-5 last weekend. Pretty simple shot with a good lie and slightly on the up-slope. Carried about 50 feet, dropped within 2 feet of the pin and rolled up and dove into the side of the cup.

First time I've holed out from the sand, ever. I didn't really see it all happen, but the group behind us was clapping and cheering... which was a first, as well. :)

    • Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?
    • Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }
    • Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.  
    • It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.
