See what you mean, but could their ad be wanting to mean where your hitting your shot from, and not where you’re hitting it to….?

Oh, lucky man, your mate. To be able to play golf like that(sigh).Quite. On a 400 yard par 4, I’m hitting driver 250 and then an 8 iron, whilst he is hitting 4 iron and a PW, so I did understand he was playing the percentages and we talked about it.
But it would have been more entertaining for me if he hit driver and left himself a flick with a wedge. He’d get more birdies, but also more bogeys. Obviously I do understand that he doesn’t play golf to entertain me, but if I was at his level I would probably be more aggressive in the monthly medal and save the conservative strategy for more important competitions.
From what I hear commentators say on TV, it seems most Pros like to leave a full club distance to the hole rather than a half pitch etc.
So a full wedge into the green might be the better play.?

I wonder whether this is Myth number 11.
Pros get closer to hole from 125 yards than they do from 75 yards.
Looks to me like a myth that could be exploded.

Depends on the pin position. If there’s no green to work with they need to leave a fuller shot in to generate spin.

Well, it would be interesting to ask them
It’s fair to say that Pros do work hard to work on attaining ,and working to , exact distances for their irons, especially wedges.

They don’t, and they score better the closer to the hole they are.

I have been invited by a Client/friend to a game at Royal Cinque ports in a couple of weeks time including a few drinks and dinner and overnight stay all on his company.
It’s the same day I go away for a weeks holiday.

My mind is currently racing at ways round it.
I have not turned it down yet.
Can see me getting a text message saying holiday home is flooded and we have to go a day later
I nearly bought a 5 wood yesterday. Didn't massively need it but it was shiny, a good price and I am going slightly stir crazy. It had a make an offer on it so I did. The person didn't respond, they don't have to, and this morning I see it has been sold.
I'm not sure if I am irritated that I didn't just buy it at the asking price or irritated at myself for getting drawn in and nearly buying it.
I need the rain to stop

Same here....we've had an inch of rain a month since November...even our course built on chalk can't cope with that....I nearly bought a 5 wood yesterday.

This could have gone in the other thread for irritations.
Gave Golf monthly my email hoping to receive useful info. about golf with golf courses, rules and interesting articles similar to National,Club Golfer.
Receiving around 4/5 emails a day. Overkill, and so disappointed. If it continues will probably stop as it is becoming junk mail. I know I have a choice.

Waited in all day yesterday, expecting my Sub70 test 7-iron to be delivered.
Obviously it arrived this morning while I was out playing golf.

Which one do you go for. I’m intrigued but the clubs they make, extremely good looking and grey reviews across the board.

I’ve gone for the 669 CB with KBS 80g graphite shaft. It looks the nuts - really looking forward to trying it.
I looked at all the DTC offerings. They were the only ones with a combination of the style of iron I was after and a graphite shaft that is supposedly very steel-like at a good price.
And of the ones that came close, it was only Sub70 who were happy to sell me a test club at the pro-rata price.
I really fancied the Ben Hogan PTx Tour irons but the only graphite shafts were UST 760 which, from what I’ve read, I think would have been a bit too light and floppy, even in stiff. Plus they didn’t offer a test club and I’m not spending £700 on an experiment.
