What is your preferred layup yardage?

 

[bobmac]

None.
I get it as close as I can then take it from there.

 

[Alex1975]

If you are out of position or not going at a par 5 in two what is your preferred layup yardage?

 

[BTatHome]

Given a choice, somewhere between 80-100 gives me lots of choices of shot to play.

 

[bladeplayer]

bout 110-115 nice smooth p/w .. i find i can (kinda) control that ..

 

[Oddsocks]

50-75 yards perfect for the 58*

 

[pbrown7582]

i prefer 90/100 myself nice fit for my AW.

 

[louise_a]

I am happy if I have a full shot to the green with anything from a 5 to a 8 iron, I dont hit great 9 irons or wedges.

 

[thegogg]

I agree with Bobmac, try and get it as close as I can then decide if it's better to fly it or chip it.

 

[Neddy]

However much i happen to miss the green by that day.....:smirk:

 

[HomerJSimpson]

80-100 yards. Perfect for a full 52 or PW

 

[StrangelyBrown]

As close as possible.

The John Jacobs golf book I had (still have) as a kid learning, said on any par 5 always have a go, that's the only way you'll get an albatross or putt for an eagle, if you miss the green or short your still pitching close for a birdie putt............it's also fun 'having a go'

I think of that whenever I come to any second shot on a par 5

 

[matts1984]

90 - 100 for me. Hit a nice PW

 

[dave]

ideally about 45-55 yards thats far enough to throw the ball and get it to stop without it coming back at me everytime, happy with anyhting under 120 though

 

[chrisd]

As close as possible and rely on the short game

 

[Deleted member 1147]

As close as possible - with all the wedges at our disposal we should be able to play from most distances and I figure that the shorter the shot the more control I can have.

 

[C_MAC]

Anything from 80-120m in,leaves me with either of a choice a 56* or a 52*. I'm happy with that

 

[USER1999]

Over 100 (50 gap wedge) or under 50, chip with gap wedge. 80 yards is my worst nightmare. Not a full shot with anything, and not a punch or chip. Very shank able. Not good.

What distance do I leave most often?

80 yards, bang on.

Ive never layed up in my life. I usually take the club that will get is closest with every shot. Is laying up something i should be thinking about? I did ask myself the question the other day.
