Sunday 18th hole, I chip and 2 putt leave the course. Go to the driving range monday and my SW is missing!?! Called the course and surprise, surprise no one turned it in (its 4yrs old and worn for crying out loud). I never forget clubs at the course but for some reason I did on that day.

Funny thing is I bought a new gap wedge in the morning too. I was thinking about replacing this club but always felt so comfortable chipping with it everywhere.

That's where having bright grips pay off

happened to me two weeks ago. Had a couple hours to kill so played a quick par 3 9 hole course for just $10. $10 turned out to be $100 because I lost my damn 52* wedge!

Ouch.. Most people at my club turn in anything, from gloves to towels, to clubs.

Same here - at my course, everything gets turned in. Sucks that people think finding clubs on the course is a "bonus" gift. This year alone, I have found and turned in 2 clubs and a headcover. Treat others the way you want to treated - wise words to live by...

Sorry to hear that.

My grandfather taught me that when you pull the flag to putt you should lay your wedge on top if it.

Hard to forget it that way.

It won't guarantee you people deliver it back, but getting some labels with your details on might help.

Top quality labels, very cheap, very easy. I've labelled all my clubs, but luckily not had the need for it yet.

Yeah that's too bad that people at your course don't turn in clubs, I think it's just the spirit of the game to return that club. I've had that honor code branded into by my grandpa, and it only reinforced it after somebody returned my lost SW, even though I had only played two rounds with it.

I have left a sandwedge a few times. The girl behind the counter at the usual club knows me. I always call the next day or whatever and yeah they have it. What really freaked her out was when I called about my missing 5 iron. She typically has a stack of SW in the lost and found and takes a while to find it. Very rarely do they find a 5 iron. I dont even remember how I left it there. Those were my old crappy clubs. Now that I have titleist and vokeys it sucks but I have to remember not to leave em and not to leave them unattended at the range or in the car or anything.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, it's more complicated than your high school projectile motion equations.  I am thinking it could increase under certain conditions. A gust of wind blowing in the same direction as the spin, causing more high and low pressure on the ball in a certain way that it increases the spin?  It has zero vertical velocity at its apex. So, it is all velocity caused by gravity for the vertical component.  Yea, landing angle is a big thing.  It is parabolic. Your apex is 90 yards in the air. A 30-yard elevated green is 1/3rd that height. At the apex, your vertical descent angle is zero, it should be horizontal. So, you are going from zero theta to let's say 45 degrees. Even if it was linear, let's say you're landing angle is close to 30 degrees. That is less than a driver and probably is significant.  Yea, it depends on how you hit it. Especially for downhill shots. If you hit a flighted shot, it might react more like a normal shot because of the lower launch and lower apex relative to your position. Versus a normal shot might come in at like 70 degrees, instead of 45 degrees.

      Spin will decay slightly over time, but not by a lot. The horizontal portion of the velocity will also decay due to air resistance. The vertical component will be increasing since the ball is accelerating due to gravity (albeit that the spin is creating lift, which will counteract that some). Neither of those has much of an impact of how the ball will react. The biggest difference is the vertical land angle. The angle theta prime (not sure how to show that on here) will be shallower than theta. That means the ball will stop faster at theta than at theta prime. The other thing is because there is still a horizontal component to the velocity, it will carry less far at theta prime than at theta.  The effects of those two things work in opposite directions. Which one "wins" will depend on ground conditions, ball flight, spin, any necessary carry distances, etc. Fortunately the margins are fairly small so you can wing it with enough experience. The calculation of the carry distance change is what your range finder estimates when you have slope turned on.

      So, I was looking at this image and wondered what the best way is to play your approach to an elevated green versus a lowered green. Is the spin and velocity profile at θ' much different than at θ? I don't know the physics of it but to my wee brain, it would seem that at θ' the spin would be higher but velocity lower. At θ the spin would seem to be lower but velocity higher since it has more time to fall from its peak where it would be zero. Even the image below is off visually since we know the arc of the ball flight isn't consistent throughout.    It's okay if you tell me I'm overthinking this. 😂
