Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

[john210]

Hey Gypsy, you trying to arouse us with that golf talk. All we need is a cigar in your mouth and you would be all set!

ok for the record, I am more of a one favourite club guy around the green (56 deg cleveland wedge with little bounce),,,,not into switching clubs for different circumstances around the green. But some pros advocate that...I guess I am more of a FEEL player.

For some reason "feel" and cigar in the same post remind me of a former President and an aide.

Funny stuff, Gypsy!

I think the shorter sticks make it easier. Chipping or pitching with a fairway wood or a long iron just seems like your hands and eyes are too far away from the ball.

Does anyone putt when the ball is a little outside the fringe of the green?

[RefuseToLose]

I putt quite a bit from just off the green if there isn't much to get in the way of getting the ball rolling.

A lot of people do it b/c they can get it closer by putting instead of by chipping.

Practice it a bit and it begins to feel natural.

This has me thinking...if you were only allowed 1 club to play an entire game with, what would it be?

I would be middle of the road and go with a 6 iron.

7 iron

My eyes just glazed over....I think I have to go paint my nails or something

I think I might go 8 iron. It might be useful to have a little more control on the approach, and there would be a lot of approaches from a lot of distances.

5 iron (hybrid optional) though my son played a round using only his putter and had pretty good results.
