The "lift, clean, and place" rule was in place for the first few rounds of the AT&T; Pebble Beach this past weekend.

I don't play on fairways as smooth as the pros but I rarely see this rule in play. Is this rule used a lot at your club?

Nope. The Men's Club I'm in will instate it for tournaments only when absolutely necessary. Here in semi-arid Colorado that means almost never. The game was intended for the ball to be played as it lies.

The only time I feel it's justified is when the ball picks up clumps of mud on nearly every landing, and then only in closely mowed areas of the course.

Up in the northeast they play lift, clean and place (in the fairway) all the time because of the inconsistent weather. During my college golf days in Massachusetts I would estimate around 1/4 of our tournaments were played under this rule due to bad weather. My local club in NJ plays it as well if there is a lot of rain and the course has a lot of casual water. I think it is fair because if you are in the fairway you should not be punished with a muddy lie/ball. Moving it one club length is fair because everyone in the fairway gets to do the same.

In the UK it's pretty much standard to have 'winter rules' - you lift, clean andplace on the fairway. Also, lift any plugged ball without penalty through the green.

'Winter rules' at our club run from 1 November to 31 March.

Could that explain all of the great first 3 rounds for many golfers... only to be followed by scores from +3 to -3 in the final rd?

Pretty common here in Michigan especially in the spring when the fairways are sopping wet from the melted snows.

Yeah, if your ball is filthy after you stripe one down the fairway...you shouldn't be penalized for it.

      Day 532 - 2026-03-17 Did some work on the Swing Coach app today. Good number of "good swing"s and "Shallow by 2" (or 1, sometimes even 3).

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod
