My 7 iron almost never sees the light of day. The head of my original 7 iron flew off into a range, never to be recovered so I bought a demo Ping G10 7 iron to replace it. I hate the thing, can't stand the wide sole. It easily twice as wide as my other irons and every time I look at it I just think of some big fat ugly chick. I'm a high capper but big fat sole just don't work for me.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

There are many days that my driver never makes it out of the bag.  I'm terrible with it - awful - feel free to insert appropriate pejorative here.  Can play 3W plenty far - but that didn't stop me from buying a new driver this last weekend!  I suppose hope does spring eternal.

I can see where you got the topic for your latest thread. Haha...

For me, it's usually my 52* GW. I remember going through two consecutive rounds and I didn't even pull it out. Not even at the range. The most used club in my bag besides my putter is, oddly enough, my 56* sand wedge. Mostly because I only make about 4-5/18 greens and my sand wedge is my go-to club for chipping, pitching, sand shots, etc.

Best Regards,
Ryan

I'm a precision player rather than a feel so prefer to take a solid swing at anything of 80 yards and over and I have a club for any yardage.

I'm a reasonably long hitter so 3W off the tee probably on 12-14 holes a round. Driver on a couple (but have played rounds without it completely) and whichever iron is appropriate for the distance on par 3s.

Love my 3W off the fairway on good lies and use the hybrid from 200-220 yards or shorter shots from the rough.

Because I get good distance off the tee and don't play PGA length courses I'd say my approach shots are usually 6-PW. However I still do get the 4 and 5 irons out especially if I'm on a 180-195 par 3.

Use my 56* a lot.

Reckon least used club are 4i, 5i, 50* Gap Wedge and 60* Lob Wedge, however I've built my bag to have specific purpose/distance in any situation so there's no chance I'd be taking any of them out (except I might try a hybrid iron to replace 4i to see if I can close gap between my 5i and my 3 Hybrid).

Driver - 10.5° Callaway RAZR Fit 

3 Wood - 15° Callaway Diablo Octane

Hybrid - 18.25° & 21° Titleist 913H 

Irons 5-PW - Cleveland CG16 Satin Chrome

Gap Wedge - 50° MD Golf NV Drew Standard Bounce 

Sand Wedge - 56° Cleveland 588 RTX 

Lob Wedge - 60° Cleveland 588 RTX 

Putter - Cleveland Classic Black Platinum 6

For some strange reason, I rarely use my 9i. And, depending on what day it is, I may have a round where I don't hit my 7W.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
