Default What club do you use from 50-75 yard range?

Typical little approach shot from the fairway, Are you using a PW, SW or 60* wedge or something else?

I use my SW...but I only have a SW and PW. I just take a little quarter swing. Or I just just run it up there with a 8i or 9i if possible.

Depends how much green I have to work with, downwind/with wind, slope around the hole, do I have a flat lie. All of those things should be considered first before selecting a club.

That said, a standard shot from 75 yards to a center pin, I'm hitting a 1/2 swing gap wedge, flighting it a little lower, letting it hop 2-3 times and stop.

From the fairway from that distance I usually use my PW and try to run it up there a bit. I am working on getting that shot consistant with my 60 but too many times I chunk that club when I don't take a full swing.

it depends on so many things. but generally i bump and run with my pitching wedge. if i dont have a lot of green to work with i will usually use a 56 wedge and try to hit it high and get it to bite.

I use whatever the shot requires. From my 60 down to PW (I carry 4 wedges). Sometimes you want to skip it in there, sometimes you want to one-hop stop, or spin it back...it depends on what you need. My money yardage is 82 with my 56 though, so when I lay up, I try to put it in 75-85yd range.

Sandwich. I always hear how you should always try to leave yourself a full shot into the green, but I am actually more confortable from <100 yds. and using a 1/2-3/4 swing.
