On a calm day, 10 out of 18. Might increase or decrease that by 1 or 2 depending on conditions but it's not solely hole yardage that dictates.
Way to sensible Adey!
But I have to agree it's less about the club and more about the objective than most posts here suggest.
There's also the important aspect about where hazards are situated, and the relative aspects of 10 degrees at 300 and the same dispersion at 250 - this can be much more of a factor than many understand .
Sensible or correct?
my attitude towards tee shots got changed by playing a couple of times with a lad at Spalding who played off +2 at the time, he's now off +4. I just copied what he did off the tee as we hit the ball similar distances and it made such a difference.
350 yard hole. Take the driver and leave a 60/70 yard half wedge into the green, also a risk that the driver could put it in the rough which is going to make the shot harder. Or take take a club that is almost guaranteed to be in the fairway and leave a full wedge in that is easier to control. As he said to me, anyone who can't hit a full wedge shot consistently is never going to get to a low handicap. He told me to use my distance to my advantage, not just try showing off by trying to hit 300 yard drives every hole when it really is not needed.
sensible and correct !
I was completely agreeing![]()
This is a bit of a how long is a piece of string question.
Easy, everybody knows that its 2 x half its length. :thup:
