Clark, Are you taking the club all the way back? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] 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. -McGee |

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. [/ QUOTE ] 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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. -McGee |

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. |

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

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. |
