Or worse. they're in your trousers pocket and you bend to pick up, or tee up, your ball.Pocket kerplunk - love that
Increasing the chances of the pointy end going up your fingernail as you fumble around- ouchey.
You've a fair point with that one best keep practicing the reverse wedgePlease look at a picture of an Odyssey #7 and tell me how you think that would go for me.
This is precisely why I carry a left handed 7 iron. Can't hit it properly, of course, but can dolly the ball out to a better place than a penalty drop would get me.I remember one time my drive finished about an inch short of a ditch, with trees in front, left of the fairway. I decided my only real option was to try and turn a wedge over and chip it left-handed back towards the fairway. I tried it, and just barely clipped the ball with the toe of the club, just enough to send it toppling down the bank into the ditch.
Don't have a spot in the bag for such whimsy! Next time I'll just stand in the ditch and get wet feet.
In one of my first forays into golf I found my ball in murky water, surface just protruding. It was reachable so I got my club and took up my stance. My mate said "Don't be stupid!". I said "I saw it done on telly last week" (Langer?) He drew a little closer to observe.Don't have a spot in the bag for such whimsy! Next time I'll just stand in the ditch and get wet feet.
In the situation I was describing a drop would have still meant chipping back to the fairway regardless.Isn't it easier (better) just to take a drop
