😁😁 I'll find a suitable divot on the range and try it to see what happes - in the meantime, it is take your medicine !

Thanks !! I will have to practice this and see what happens.

Agreed. But I think my question was 'is it the wrong choice period' or 'is it the wrong choice for me with my current skill level' The answer to the second one is obviously 'yes' as we have established bu the answer to the first one ?

It was nowhere near bad enough for that, but I now know I am not currently capable of hitting a high wedge shot from a bare lie divot. I could easily have chipped to the edge of the green (approx 50 yrds away) and tried to 2 putt (two tier green so never guranteed).

I second this, it looks like a wood so you feel you should play it like a wood. Put it too far forward and you will top it or spray it everywhere. Put it roughly in the middle and I find it goes really well out of both light rough and fairway. I do have to change my grip though, for some...

Can only speak for my experience but, after a 20 year hiatus due to having 3 kids very close together, I thought I had played my last game. Sons played cricket and football. Last year younger son got back into golf (had lessons with grandparents at about 10) and got me back into it. We joined...
