Great little tip, i think.

[munro007]

I was playing with an elderly chap yesterday, and i notice he had small writing on the back of his clubs. So i had to ask whats that all about, he said that he had been in to our Pro, and used Trackman to find out his distances, and he wrote them on the back of his clubs. How good is that if you cant remember what distances you hit each club. I sometimes get i little confused about my distances because all my clubs are brand new to me, well apart from a couple of woods. So i think that is the next thing i will be doing. Great little tip i thought.

I'd like that, I'll be through before the end of the year. Although I'll need to stay out of he who must not be named shop or I'll want to buy something new and shiney!

Anyway what did you think about the little tip. lol

Dave Pelz recommends something similar in his short game book. Put a label onto the back of the shaft, under the grip with the distances for that wedge for the three swings he advocates.

Simple, easy and probably effective once you've worked it all out.

 

[munro007]

DCB i only have one swing just now, and thats all out attack. lol

 

[Mattyboy]

I had mine on a sticky on my rangefinder.:mmm:

You should read Pelz book, The Short Game Bible, a lot of good stuff in there. As has his Putting Bible

I worked out distances for all my clubs from an 8 iron and below for 1/2, 2/3 and full shots.

I then made a table and took it with me in practice rounds. After a while I did not need the table as I learnt what shot needed what. Was a good exercise though and no rules against it as far as I know.

Who are they?

The Government?
The PGA/EGU?

The concept of the tip is quite good but surely it isn't too hard to remember distances for each club? How about picking a middle club (7i) then working forwards or backwards from there?

And what happens when the wind is blowing?

Here is an even better and simpler tip....... make sure you are looking at the ball at the point of impact.

Look at the front of the ball (ie target side) and it stops you duffing chip shots.

Apologies...by 'point of impact' I actually meant the moment in time when clubface makes contact with the ball

:thup:

 

[bladeplayer]

Im in the , why do you need it written down camp here , how do you adjust this depending on wind direction or strenght of wind etc , air temp changes distances , elevated /sunken greens change distances .. great having it down if its a flat course on a calm day every day .. no two rounds are the same

 

[palindromicbob]

I have a list of them on my phone but they are all out of date. Need to redo all my yardages again.

 

[matriga]

Problem is when your distances actually change over time...

Couple of ex World #1s (Mens and Ladies), Major winners and multiple PGA/Euro Tour winners have ignored that tip - wouldn't seem essential! Also, sensibly, ignored the 'keep your head still one too!

Would you be surprised how easy it is to hit the ball well blindfold -or with eyes closed?
