Jchris05 33 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 For me there is the dreaded chip shot from 40-60 yards. I will hit a beautiful drive down the middle and will be 60 out and my buddy will be like here comes a double. And sure enough I’ll chuck the first chip 5 yards. Blade the second chip over the green. Finally get on and be so in my head that I miss the 2 foot putt. Does anyone else have a struggle like mine? 7 Quote Link to post

Finally get on and be so in my head that I miss the 2 foot putt. Does anyone else have a struggle like mine? There was a time when the 50-60 yard shot was no good for me. I didn't hit it bad, I just misjudged the distance. I just stopped leaving myself with that distance until I was comfortable hitting it. Now the only real inconsistent shot I have is the low check shot that you just nip off the ground. 1 Quote Driver: EXS 220 9.5° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 60 6.0 3 Wood: SpeedZone 14.5° Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow 70 6.0 3 Hybrid: 2017 CLK 19° Fujikura Speeder Evolution HB Stiff 4 Hybrid: 2020 CLK 22° Mitsubishi Tensei Blue Stiff Irons: JPX 921 Forged 5-9, JPX 921 Tour PW Project X LZ 6.0 Blackout Edition Wedges: Edison Forged 49°, 53°, 57° Putter: L.A.B.

Finally get on and be so in my head that I miss the 2 foot putt. Does anyone else have a struggle like mine? My most inconsistent golf shot is trying to go for the green in two on par 5’s. I can hit a drive normally around 275-285 carry, so I get in my head, “man it would be awesome, to get on the green and have a chance at eagle.” That rarely happens...I either try to muscle my 4 iron or get out my 3/5 wood and place the shot. My problem is I can’t hit my 3/5 wood consistently (hand me down, will eventually get fit for y’all next purchase), but I trick myself into thinking I can. Lately, I’ve really been focusing on laying up to 75-100 yards and in, but my no laying up mindset always creeps into my mind. 4 Quote G410 Plus, w/ X stiff 75 g Project X Evenflow Black shaft driver GT Tight Lies 3 & 5 wood SLDR AW - 4 iron S flex Rotex 2.0 RTX 588 56° Vokey SM7 08M 60° Newport 2.5 putter MTB X golf balls RH, Alabama Link to post

Middler 2,406 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Of the shots played on every hole, I get in trouble I with my driver more than irons or putting. However, I’m more inconsistent out of greenside traps. I almost always get out in one shot - but if I’m within 8 feet of the hole, it’s mostly luck. And at my new regular course, the traps are always wet/damp sand, which makes getting out even less predictable. I can’t remember the last soft sand lie I’ve had, I’m afraid I’m going to forget how to play out of dry sand... I never practice 60* flop shots either, so that’s a crap shoot when I’m forced to do it (not often). 1 Quote Callaway Rogue 10.5° & 3W Mizuno CLK 3H 19°, JPX900 Forged 4-GW, S18 56.10, S18 60.06 Evnroll ER5B (replaced ER2) Snell MTB-Black Link to post

ballplayer002003 1,227 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The dreaded 60 ft putt for eagle. I RARELY make those. haha. In all seriousness, I would say the 60yd bunker shot. We have a few places on my course where you can find yourself in them. I never practice this shot so obviously it would be an area of weakness. I will also mention, at my course, not all bunkers are created equal. Some have TONS of sand in them while others have a very thin amount of sand. It is so frustrating as a golfer. Fill all bunkers with the same type and amount of sand. 2 Quote Driver: Epic Flash Sub Zero Hzdrs Smoke x flex 70g 3 Wood: 917 w/ Diamana Whiteboard stiff 5 Wood : Epic Flash 18* Hzdrs Smoke stiff 4 Hybrid: Apex w/Kuro Kage stiff Irons: 5-7 Apex forged 19 w/ Modus 120 X 9-A Apex Pro 19 w/ Modus 120 X Wedges: MD5 52&56 Jaws Dynamic Gold wedge flex Putter: Scotty Cameron Del Mar 34" Link to post
Letthebigdogshunt 67 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 The last half dozen years it would be the 3 wood off the fairway. I took it out of the bag and only play a 5 wood which I hit beautifully. Still occasionally put the 3 wood back in and then after the round take it back out. I just don't have the SS to hit this club consistently anymore. 1 Quote Link to post
Chizzle 80 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Driver for sure. With that being said, I focus on my second shot. I feel it's one of the most important shots because it can make a bad driver shot not bad or waste a good driver shot and get a bogey or double bogey for the hole. 2 Quote Link to post

YYCRed 20 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Lob wedge. It either goes 10 yards or 50. Nothing in between. I still have it in my bag, but never use it. Probably should go and practice with it to understand what I'm doing wrong. 1 Quote Link to post
