I have and love my 4 hybrid….but I had a gap that I couldn’t fill with 5i or 6i, and 4h too long. The very first time I hit the Ping 440 5 hybrid my pro lent me I was 100% sold on it. The ball soared into the air like no 6 or 5 iron I’ve ever hit and dropped right in my target range…saints be praised. So one ordered and picking up on Friday. It could be a real game changer for me as my 160-185 range was poor and left me too dependent on my short game. Relatively good as that is I don’t get down in two as many times as I’ll two putt. Obvious really.
Two lost balls were the result and an NR. 
I had that years ago at Wimbledon Common. A "4" handicap played with two 70+ brothers every time in a comp and rarely shot less than 36 or level par. Rumours abounded for ages. People went out and there were suspicious actions but from a distance hard to prove. Club captain decided to introduce random bookings and similarly stuck to him like glue and the bloke NR'd. The club also chose him to represent the club in a scratch match and again with a stranger from another club shot well into the mid 80's and was soundly beatenA suspected cheat, who always does well in comps when he plays with his usual circle of elderly folk, was drawn with a mate of mine this week in a medal.
We exchanged messages about what might happen!
Well, there were apparently two occasions where "the suspect" was in trouble. My mate stuck to him like glue.
He got in the car and drove off without stopping for a drink. He never does that.
Prevention is better than a cure
How many balls did you hit with each club. I normally delete a really bad strike/shot and then use an average of 7-10 balls to get a good idea of a "normal" length of shot per club
I also have Greensomes this weekend, on Sunday. My partner just got a new driver that he's been hitting 30 yards longer than the old one, so my main job will be trying to reign him in so he keeps it on the golf course.Greensomes competition on Saturday morning, feeling confident about putting a decent score together, my last few rounds have been excellent
Ahh the dreaded Greensomes competition..... i'd rather take the old ride round Ikea on a Saturday afternoon than play Greensomes!!Greensomes competition on Saturday morning, feeling confident about putting a decent score together, my last few rounds have been excellent
Bit slower than proper foursomes I'd agree but not so slow and bad that Ikea is a better option surely.
Exactly this Homer. I started on the 6 iron and hit 5/6 balls and that was the average. But when I got to the later clubs the ones I nobbed I deleted.
