100 yards seems to be a very comfortable distance for everyone. But it is the same with me. A lazy gap wedge is so much fun to hit.
What I Play:
Wilson Mini Stand Bag | PING G10, 10.5°, Proforce V2 HL S | PING G5, 15°, 18°, Aldila NV 75 S | PING G5, 19°, Aldila VS Proto By You 80 S

I like to hit a low, trapped wedge from 50-75 yards. It's fun and I feel confident doing it. A lot of times, hitting that thing stiff can help turn around a bad round, as well.

80 on in is usually a green sticker. No guarantee that it will be close to the hole but I am working on that.

I'm probably most comfortable with my 56° wedge from about 90 yards. I'm also becoming more confident with my 52° wedge from about 110 yards.

Not sure if I'd classify them as "bread and butter" yet.

Anything between 312'8" and 327'3" with my driver, uphill and 10~15 MPH into the wind. I get really mad if I don't hit the stick, at least. That and within 6" of the hole, I also feel very confident with my putter at that distance.

I think your post is only humorous because you quoted distances of 112 yards to 127 yards with your driver :)

I'm changing my answer to a three-inch tap in. Not two, not four, but three inches.

Well your yardages are pretty much exactly the same as mine. Now if only I could get that 0.5 handicap!

130 yards with my PW or 85 yds with my 54(bent to 53) degree vokey. I like the vokey better because I can throw it over the pin and spin it back a bit.
