If possible, I will lay up to 60 yards (1/2 SW) or 80 yards (3/4 SW) on unreachable par 5's. Usually gives me a pretty good look at birdie.

Anything over 100 yards is unlikely to get close enough to make the putt. I used to feel bad about that, but the best on tour this year from 100-125 yards is Brad Faxon - 14'-9". He probably does make those putts, though.

I read that as:

About 450 yds - nice Driver.

Thought "Man that's long, even for the Sand Trap!"

I'm another 100 yarder. Will usually hit a knockdown wedge from there.

I am comfortable only when on the putting green/fringe. My iron and wedge game needs SERIOUS work.

Definitely this.

10-12 feet is really close.

I also like the 56* from 100 and the 50.5* from 122, but anything <20 feet on the proper side of the hole and I'm happy.

Closer the better for me into maybe 40 yards. That shot is hard to judge exactly how it will react on the green. I'd much rather be 50 yards than 70. I'd say a yardage I really like is 65-67 yards. It is a really confortable 64 for me. Then from 85-90 is a really confortable 58. But if I'm playing ok, I feel like anything inside of 100 is a real birdie chance and I'm not happy with anything outside of 20 feet. 15 feet is a good shot for me.

87 yards. Sets up a nice full swing 60 deg wedge that I don't have to go hard at. Definitely one shot that I know pretty much exactly how far it's going to go every single time.

Anywhere between 60-115 yards, that puts some loft of wedge in my hands. If I have to lay up I usually try for 100 yards.

8i from 150-160 and I am usually within 10 feet, as long as I don't hit it fat, thin, off the toe, shank it or miss the ball entirely.....or pick the wrong club, or fart in my back swing

That last bit is nice when you're golfing with strangers. It really breaks (melts?) the ice.

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
