I hate chipping in this game LOL. I get the sweats on a 13 yard chip on fast greens down hill....hell any shot in that range kills me LOL. add in heavy rough and I got no clue how far the ball in going to roll. Heck I got so desperate i started PUTTING out of the rough! I am getting better but yeah should auto gen a course and just practice....like I have the time

I'm pretty sure I am the only person who doesn't use chart's, ratio's and other mathematical ways to play shots. I see it and play it without trying to work anything out. Maybe people shouldn't get bogged down with all the calculations and play a 'feel' game, it works well with this game.

Since I've started using doyleys chart it's helped me loads and if you have a 170 y 62 drop and 8 to 9 head wind you can't really just guess especially if you have water in front of you, can you?

I shoot pretty low, 50's isn't a rarity and I am currently ranked at 50 in the WGR. I don't guess what I need to do because I have practised a lot and now have a good feel for the game, It sort of come's natural and you never have to work anything out mathematically. Its like real life, I don't stand there working out the exact yardage change because of an elevation, I sort of already know what to do because of past experience.

I appreciate what you are saying but the fact of the matter is someone like yourself if you start using the charts and maths you WILL score better. The maths will be right 99% of the time whereas your feel approach may be amazing and better than anyone else but you won't hit that 99%

the charts helped me get my first win on the Web. but my weakness is high winds, I just cannot get the ball going in the right direction and with the course we played this past week a miss was sand or the ball rolling to a run off area making for a 45 foot plus putt back. give me winds below 10 and i can play very well. anything above that it gets dicey for me. But the chart help em dial in the mid irons to short and that made a world of difference as it is a lot easier to put to 6-10 footers in the hole then it is to put a 20 footer in.

I hear this, anything over 10 and I'm all over the place, don't mind bunkers near the green tho as I can get it fairly close but if I hit a fairway bunker it normally means game over for me on That hole as half the time I end up with a plugged lie

best way to tackle wind is to use draw and fade instead of trying to take the wind stream.

I figure eventually my brain is going to start intuitively start remembering the different shots. I just do not like to play with all those charts, ratios and math. If I do use some math it's generally rounded and a bit of a guesstimate. Nice to know others out there play similarly. Of course I never expect to make the Pro Tours. I'm perfectly happy to make some cash in the Champions A and design my quirky courses that I enjoy to play in just that manner. See ya around, -Mike

Drawing into left to right wind and fading into a right to left wind gets the ball going on a straighter, "heavier" ball flight typically. It's not too hard to get down. I do it especially with the driver to get it going straight.

What I tend to do myself in regards to the LW is, say the greens speed is slow to medium and I'm 8/9 yards out I'll slightly lower the loft of the club. Then look at around the area where the ball will (hopefully) carry to and read the green from that point to the pin as though I were putting from there. Aim accordingly, maybe slightly less out then for a putt and a lot of the time end up nice and close...had lot of hole outs doing that technique also. Anything from medium to fast and depending on slope of the green then I won't adjust the loft....or maybe even higher it a tiny bit. As for SW & PW chips, I just go with my gut feeling depending on how the green is from where I am. Doesn't always go as well as I hope though haha.
