Isnt it fair. Lowry in particularly got great tee times first two rounds it seems.

Fascinating to see them struggles. With no wind royal troon is so easy top ten should be - 30 after 4 rounds 🙂

You cant appreciate good shots unless you do bad ones

I am seldom to far out so I would rather hit a 20 metre short drive on a teed up lie then gamble on the second shot most times.

That local rule should become a global rule. More fun then pretend golf when you dont find it. Of course its a bit of a cheat because why hit a provisional if you can just hit a ball from guaranteed fairway. Just bomb the driver get a more valid strategy. Its seldom I loose both balls on provisional but it happens particularly when hitting the second in rage. Hitting a third often feels expensive and pointless.

A chipper is perfect for putting. Just use the putter stroke and see the ball roll straight. Mine has no offset so everything is straight. My chipper is also my most accurate approach club. Just dont want to go anywhere but where I aim.

I do play 56 so I get more golf. Could play 52. Good drives and I can get some really tough approach shots on some par 4:s and easier on others so yes it depend. If you hit a solid drive but to much spin or it starts off not where you aim it soon goes oob as fairways are not wide. That is my problem I generally hit the ball well its dispersion that create the oob. Harder with an iron to hit that far there it more often is rollers 🙂 In theory I should afford an oob but if I could get more stable with my irons and nail more approach shots it would more then compensate.

Clubs that go long can be costly if you are focused on scoring. My driver often cause me one hole. That is two strokes. I am often struggling to get in on two anyway on some par 4:s and other require epic drives so it would be an interesting experiment. But I want to have fun also. Driver and Iron swing is totally different so if you only have to have Iron swing in your head that simplifies it too. Hard to remember the days both my irons and drives was good.

I am using it proper again. I will say though life as a bump and runner dunno if it´s easier then a boom and zoomer... Boom and zoom shot is still the best shot with this too. But sure the worst shot will be better but checks with some backspin for chipping can be helpful at times besides always starting the roll on the green. My approach now is just to master the chipper in all occasions just to reduce the real bad shots is worth more then getting it a tad closer on the really good shots. I got to say it´s amazing at times. Was on a round today. I worked so hard on my driver but neglected my irons so dispersion is quite big at the moment. GIR is low but I know if I can get into the zone of a full chipper shot at about 105-120 metres I am golden. It just so easy to boom it straight exactly on the line I aim and at full blast. Its like technique doesn´t matter. Got three pin high where the fellows I played with must started to believe maybe he isn´t that horrible afterall 😄 Also had some bunker shots (very easy bunkers) but just hit it clean is so easy with this. I maybe should get that GW and SW just for full blast approach shots but don´t feel like spending even more on this game.

You can hit the shorter club 110 %. But if 100 % is a hundred I like the idea of reaching the pin if there is no hazard front or back.

It happened to me once. A callaway hawkeye. My first own driver. Believe it was third strike on the driving range and the clubhead flew 50 metres forward in a great low spin trajectory. I then learned that this particular model was notorious to break like this. Amazing that this happens on an object where you are supposed to hit solid objects at great speed with.

Find them quite tricky. Hit them like an iron or flatter like a wood? Also my G400 hybrid has no swing weight which helps swing speed but makes me nervous. Also it just dont have a good feeling to it. Proper Woods are so fun to hit.

I dont mind it. Particularly if it comes after a bad shot its natural to react to it

Is those the ones that came after i3? I had the i3 oversized. It it wasnt for the weight of them would probably still use them. Very informative on where you hit and great feel from sweetspot. Went high and stopped where they landed with the square grooves. The weight made me struggle with the long irons though.

Started playing with Wilson DX2 softs and I can´t hear my strikes anyway. Not on the irons can still hear my driver 🙂 Can still feel some so dont see the issue but I realize I never tried swinging with music.

Came back after 12 years. Short game was what took the longest to get back. I am also battling fatique. Back then you could do 36 holes in a day and didnt have to think as much.

I have a 5wood here instead and my shotscope stats give your distance. My 22 degree hybrid seem to be more like your 5 iron goes a little bit further not much. My 18 degree 5 wood sits nicely and is more fun to hit and do 200 with ease. Heck on monsterhits it sneaks close to my 15.5 3wood. It requires a bit more driver like swing though. Not yet fully figure my hybrid out but its operable at least.

Yes I absolutely get a much greater chance produce a solid pitch or chip shot. Bounce, stance everything is really trying to help me hit it clean. It´s all in the head it´s absolutely fascinating. A bunker in front often make me hit a softer chip shot then harder? Why? Must be because I am awhare of the bunker in my mind and at some point in my swing the subconcious try to direct me to get in it! Also othertimes the subconcious deliver warning signals and make me overshoot. That is a much more sane reaction I would say.

It depend. Getting on the far side of the green is often harder then chipping in from a close distance. If there is a bank for the ball to get a calculate lucky bounce I aim there a bit when hitting the other side risk the ball rolling off the green or into some bunker. A better miss. Easy approaches just attack the flag 😄

Ok this golf club has deteoriated my swing. Its been so easy I forgot the basics of chipping. I started to miss chips now just due to total laziness thinking its automatic success. Before I had in the back of my mind what create the pitch shot and how the ball should be hit. Now if I remind myself of that all is fine. If not I can luck out or anything can happen.

The high approaches is more about being able to use a full or near full swing for me. Find it harder distance control on half swing but I am still experimenting. I am actually currently trying to convert to a chip and runner. I even removed my lob wedge from my bag. Dispersion wise left to right is probably a bit better and distance a bit worse. I must say its a booring defensive shot but safer for sure. That said to simple shots I sometimes miss due to underestimating them. Its ridiculous how you can miss the simplest pitches sometimes. A full shot with my 50/56 wedges do require my full attention.

I play between red and purple. Our back tee I still have some par 4s that is very unrealistic to get into two due to distance though so I do feel that is to long for my distance. Always go for back tee though. Most seem to do so maybe roughly 75 % at least though there is very few strokes gained based on the average distance between the 56 and 52 tee.

Well you said it here. Virtually no chance of cathing it outdoors.

You can absolutely catch it outdoors if you are close enough to inhale others air. 2 metres is the adviced distance over here. Covid is not widespread here and risk is lower then a regular car with windows and recirculating air but I would just walk the course anyway.

Got my Bullet 5000 today. It should do the job I believe for as long as I live besides the brake possibly. Very lightweight but hopefully not to lightweight. It appear to be designed well enough. Holds my carry bag well despite the legs. the handle of my wilson carry bag is perfectly placed to lift the entire cart together with the carts handle if needed.
