On the fly?!

And with a beautiful finish?

Interesting comments concerning how far you hit the ball. The game is about control. Remember, you are playing against the golf course, not the other members in your foursome, etc. Bring tempo & timing to the course & hit what club you need. Don’t fall into the trap of trying to outdistance others. Play your game, not theirs!

This advice would’ve been helpful when I was 12. The cat is outta the bag, and it’s why I’m not a very good golfer.

I bet your sand wedge is taller than me.

Now that I think about it it makes sense. We only played together once. That was back in January during one of my job interviews with him. I had never golfed before. Since then ive been practicing two or three times a month. Add in a few lessons and im still suck but 1000 times better than when I played first.

And you still got the job?

I usually hit my 4-iron 200-205. 3-iron 210-215. Anything over 215 I am using a 5 wood.

It's pretty easy to hit a 5 iron off artificial turf 215.

I don't hit a 4 iron. Have a hard time getting it in the air. I do hit it about 185-190 when I get it in the air. I opt for a hybrid. 215 is a good 4 iron for a high handicapper. With that said, you are quite tall. Longer levers=more speed. Good luck on your golf journey.

I should have asked if that 215 is carry distance or total distance?

Had no idea we have so many golfers down here in the OT.... maybe we need to try and put together a combo event next year. I do one annually already with a bunch of my buddies, day 1 is a 4 man scramble and day 2 is a big bass format fishing tournament. We tie both events together to come up with a winning team but also still do Long Drive, Closest to the Pin, and Big Bass trophies also.
