Re: How do you remember everything? (swing questions)

guids,
Bitcho is right. There's no point writing it down because it's a touch/feel thing, PARTICULARLY with less than full shots. When I'm practicing/playing a lot I just know the swing I need to hit an e.g. 70 yard L-wedge shot (roughly 70% of its full distance).
It's worth mentioning that these half wedges are the absolute devil to most high handicappers. They can't figure out how much to take off, hit it fat, thin, etc., and most don't invest the time or effort to get better.

To me, this is like saying PokerTracker isn't useful because you can just remember important hands in your head.
There's nothing at all wrong with being somewhat scientific about the short game and writing down your yardages. I'm a firm believer in Pelz's system, and he openly encourages it (since he teaches you to have 3 wedges each with 4 distances that you consistently hit them...so you have to remember 12! yardages)...he suggests taping them to the underside of the shaft so you won't see them at address, but can readily see them for reference.
Of course, in time, you'll just remember them...and, also, going about the short game THIS way, lets you learn 'feel' so much faster because 'feel' is the hardest thing to learn...so why not help yourself?
