I was down in hilton head when i had to play golf like i described, it was the ShipYard Golf course, it had a lot of holes that were short dog legs, then short approach shots. So i had to hit 3 wood, to 4 iron on some holes. I played pretty good that day, really discecting the course. Because i can play the bombers game, just tee up the ball, take the driver, smash it a ways down there and play short irons all day long. But it was really fun to try to think, Ok its 180 to the corner, i need to hit this iron. So, sometimes i look at a score card and see, ok this hole is 370 yards, i will hit my hybrid leaving me this club. So i try to plan out my round and see how it goes.

A fun one is, try to figure out which club you hit to give you the same club in on the approach, on as many holes as possible.

So lets say you got a club you hit 150, try to hit every drive to land next to the 150 marker, then play in. Just different games to make it fun, and make you think.

    • Love resurrecting this thread! The float-load feel bit and then the old video I think from Mike on how to hit low and high chips were the kickstart to my short game journey, where I play well below my handicap (officially 9.x right now, via arccos I only lose 1 stroke per round to a scratch golfer in my short game). I've spent lots of time with float-load and I can be a sniper inside ~40 yards with my GW and 60*. But I actually just started trying a version of this for like ~40-70 yard shots! 70-115 I have a like hands to belly button height stock partial swing shot that I hit with SW-9i dialed.
    • Played 9 today. Good and bad. Full Swing - Right arm straighter feel needs to be there 100%.  Short Game - Just needs a good couple of practice sessions to polish. Too long of backswing most of the time.  Putting - more straight back and straight through “feel” works well. Hitting center of putting face more. 
    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.
