Clark,

Are you taking the club all the way back? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I rarely hit a three-iron but 200 yards seems pretty reasonable for a casual player like Clark (or myself).

bonds, who I gather is pretty decent (I think he said in the handicap thread that he was single digits) just posted that he hits a one-iron about 220 on average.

Played same course, par 71, 6247 yds. Which is pretty long for me 'cause I hit irons off the tee atm.

47/49/96. Gonna try to get out again this week same course if kyleb stops being a pussy.

Tomorrow or Thursday? I'd like to hit the range once before heading down so I don't [censored] up my tee shots as colossally as I was last time, but I need to seek vengeance on that course, and it's supposed to be nice the next couple of days.

All,

I was just taking the easy crack at Clarkmeister since it's my impression that he owns me in every other area of life, except that he's old.

Re: What\'d You Shoot Today? (Golf BBV Thread)
 

Well, in fairness if I am supposed to hit it like 220, I'd love to know so I can work on that. Right now all my work is consistency and trying to learn to trust woods again. I always got the feeling that 200 for a 3-iron and 150-155 for a 7-iron was somewhat standard.

I live in a year-round golf environment. I need to get better before I get even older and die.

I think I was a little quick to jump on this topic because I've recently been trying to figure out if I should be getting more out of my irons. I'll pull a 7 from 150 and one of my friends looks at me like I'm a wimp, while another guy I know would hit a 5 in that spot.

I think with all the differences from swing to swing it doesn't matter how far you hit each club, so long as it is less than +/- 5 yards of distance every time you hit it.

Consistency is king, not arbitrary benchmarks.

While this is true, there are obvious advantages to being able to hit higher lofted clubs farther.

i shot the lights out for four holes and then tanked on the rest of the front (GoT and i only played 9).

sigh. bought new clubs today though, along with shoes. i have a proper set of clubs and i plan on going to the range 3-4 times and recording my distance with the various clubs and confidence values in accuracy to approach golf in the only way i know how: mathematically

woot! Iron hitters of the world unite!

word. GoT converted me into hitting only irons. as he can attest to, i crush my 3 hybrid consistently 210 and i'm occasionally around 240 with it.
