Picking up my new Ping Heppler then heading to Renfrew GC for a round, not played there in a while.

Home course tonight for a hit - going to do something I've never done before and leave the woods at home - I've never played a whole round with irons only - should be interesting and I should be dialled in with a five iron off the tee after that - hopefully.

Recently I've been looking to do this too (half curiosity, half to hone irons away from the range) but I'm not a long hitter. I know it'll be course specific re carry's etc but do you mind sharing how far you'd expect to hit your 5 (total) I'd only be going 150y unless it gets lots of run and i'm not sure that's enough?
On the flip side I do get plenty shots so its just the carry's i need to look at
To keep the thread on topic, next course I'll play will be Anahita GC off the 6,600 tees

I hit my 5 iron 150 yards into a green, maybe a bit further off a tee to a fairway - I’ll find out tonight. I’m not a big hitter at all.

Cheers, pop an update or start a thread tomorrow to let us know how it goes or if you had any unexpected challenges using 'irons only', enjoy

Played there today and it’s in great condition, probably the best/ most fun course I’ve ever played
next new course will be Monte Rei in Portugal (hopefully) but not till November
How Brutal was the rough?
The way I'm hitting my driver I expect to be finding a lot of it!

Potentially Swinley Forest next Friday. What's not to like about that? Always a treat playing there

Down here in Oz we are in lockdown so no golf allowed. The Nanny State rules.
Is there room for 1 more???

Sadly not. We are a four ball. However if I get a drop out I'll PM you

It wasn’t too bad but for a change I actually had a good day off the tee, and actually kept it on the planet ??
But If you were past the first cut good luck finding your ball
Sounds ideal for a 2 day medal ???

The pins were horrific yesterday ?? put into the corners of greens but made for a fun match between our 4ball yesterday we assumed they were saving the greens for an up coming comp

14 of us are playing Machynys Golf Club Seniors Open on Monday, looking at the weather going to be a challenge to say the least

Looks like I have Swinley on Friday, then H4H at Bearwood Lakes and then Hockley the day after that. And then that's me done for 2020 I fear
