i love almost any approach shot 140-160 out. if i could some how master this,i'll be constantly in a two putt situation for par,and possibly in for one(bird!).


least favourite, coming out of hard, recently soaked wet but now sunbaked sand. not a fairway bunker,but greenside. impossible to control.

FAVORITE - Flop shot - nothing better than to hit a high flop that stops like a rock once it lands

MOST DIFFICULT - 6OYARDS to the green in a bunker - seems very difficult to get it close to the pin

Natural shot: Is a high draw with all clubs.

Favorite shot: I like a 115 yard shot. I'll take out the PW.. 3 quarter swing with an abreviated follow through, nice low ball flight with some spin.

Least Favorite: Id like to be playing a slight fade with all my clubs, unfortunately with the woods i find it difficult to hit a cut when its needed.

Tee shot on a short par 3. When I can get a PW or GW in my hand off the tee I feel like there is a great chance to stick it close. I love hitting my gap wedge from just about anywhere form 100 and in.

I hate any lie where the ball is below my feet. I'm 6'8" and tend to pick the ball clean or take very small divots at the most on flat land. Lower the ball and I'm shakey at best. Down hill lies are also tough for me. Combine the two and it's a total nightmare for me.

I love to putt and feel I can make any putt on the green. I also love to hit a high fade into the green, especially when I am in between clubs I aim left and open my iron face up and hit a high shot near the pin.

Favorite: Flop shot, this shot just came naturally to me. I can usually hit it really close and the ball just stops dead.

Least Favorite: Any type of draw. As you can see by my handicap I haven't figured this shot out. My natural ball flight is just a slight movement from left to right. Everytime I try to hit a draw I end up pulling the ball way left.

Actually, I'd like to take back what I said about the hardest shot in golf being fluffy sand. The hardest shot is a tee shot on a par 3. See, I hate all par 3's. Period. On a par 4 or 5, you've got an opportunity to make up for a bad shot. On a par 3, you can take dead aim at the pin, hit a perfect shot, and be shit out of luck if the wind catches it and carries it away, away into trouble.

My scoring average on par 3's, by the way, is 4.23.

I like lag putting if I am below the hole and less than 8 feet away.

I hate driver because I can't hit it. The club is simply too long. I have no sense of where the clubhead is and whether it is square. I have had my driver cut down to the same length as my 3 iron. Although I can now get ball contact, I get no additional distance so what's the point ?

Favorite shot(s):
- 30 or 45 yard pitches with my 56 degree. I spend a great amount of time on my 30,45,60,75,90 yard shots with my 56 & 60. I prefer the 30 or 45 yard shots with my 56 degree which usually means I have some green to work with.
- 105 or 115 yard shots with choked down PW. I spend a lot of time calibrating these two shots as well since I seem to have this shot quite often. Since I practice it a lot, I am very confident with these two distances.

Hardest shot(s) to play:
- Bunker shot that I have to get up quickly without a lot of green to work with.
- Driver that requires right to left (draw) ball flight.

    • @StuM when I called the course a couple of months ago they said you can mention that you want to add an extra night to the hotel when you book the package through them and the people who are in charge of the stay and play can handle it, did you ask them about that?
    • Though start, bad design. For me.. I would tee it up and hit the biggest club face in the bag that don't airmail the green. Also hit a fade that is a lot easier for me to hit up on the air. 180/190.. it should be a high cut with 3 Wood with a tee 1 inch above the turf.  
    • I'm on the side of thinking that something is not right here and should be reviewed. Let say that their course rating is pretty low, so their index is higher than it should be. But if they always play at their home course they are probably going to play bad away from home so it should even that advantage out or at least lower it down.  Also you can say that they are amazing players under pressure and very skilled in match play format, but at the end of the day variance and luck is always going to play a big role between 2 players of similar handicap. Let's assume that player A have 75% chance of winning a match over player B that only have 25%, there is no way that a player's skill in match play can make such a difference in a match outcome but I prefer to use a number that is hard to argue. (For me.. 60/40, or 65/35 at most) The odds of winning 21 straight matches with that  generous odds are less than 1% (or 1 in 420). Is this proof that they are "cheating" or something, of course not but is evidence enough to note that something is not right and should be reviewed further.     
    • UPDATE.....Please read We still have time to add more golfers to both days, June 1st & June 2nd At this time he have reservations for 20 golfers on each day At this time we have 17 for Saturday at EagleSticks - Room for 3 more At this time we have 16 for Sunday at the Virtures - Room for 4 more Please post ASAP if interested. I need to give a more final count May 17th. They will accommodate a fluke last minute change but lets try to iron this out to they can sell tee-times if we do not need them. It will also be hard to add tee times. COST: If you are golfing both rounds AND staying in the "Stay & Play" hotel the cost is $252 This includes Golf on Saturday & Sunday and Saturday night in the hotel (See below for hotel info.) If you want the "Stay & Play" I need to arrange that. If you ARE NOT staying in the hotel the cost is as follows: Sat. June 1st @ EagleSticks = $80 Sun. June 2nd @ Virtues = $120 You will notice the "Stay & Play" deal is hotel for only $52 extra which is a great deal.  If you want in on that let me know! Saturday tee times are: 10:15, 10:24, 10:33, 10:42 and 10:51 I will try to get those spending Friday Night in the hotel in the early groups to allow others more time to drive in. Sunday tee times are 9:00 9:09, 9:18, 9:27am and 9:36 Saturday after the round we will have an area at EagleSticks to gather for prizes, food & drink.   Sunday after the round is currently un-planned If we can guarantee 16 we can reserve a small room but there would be a hard charge @ $20 per head at the Virtues and we would have a simple buffet Likely we just grab a beer a dog and a table as available. Let me know if you think a more formal plan for Sunday after the round is needed. The "Stay & Play" hotel has changed Double Tree in Newark 50 North 2nd Street Newark, OH 43055 740-322-6455 If you need a hotel for either Friday or Sunday nights you will need to book on your own. I was give an estimate of @ $249 for the Double Tree and do not know if there are better offers elsewhere. I will be arriving Friday, hoping for mid-late afternoon and would love to meet up for dinner with any that are in town. Time & Location TBD Below are the names & have confirmed: Would really love to get more golfers.  Reply if interested.  Time is running down. Below is updated with best information I have. PLEASE add/delete your tag as necessary.
