Hi guys, I fixed the swing but I'm having big problems choosing the right club for the approach to the green. Could you give me some advice to improve? for example, what do you prefer to use from the rough?
Thanks

2 extra to start with and then if it’s over 20 foot uphill one more and if it’s into the wind over 8mph another one…

Hi guys, I fixed the swing but I'm having big problems choosing the right club for the approach to the green. Could you give me some advice to improve? for example, what do you prefer to use from the rough? Thanks I typically do the quick math on the distance to pin factoring in the wind - add yardage = to wind if headwind, subtract yardage if tailwind - then based on lie percentage, figure out the club distance using the high end of the percentage.. Example - 100 yards to pin, 10mph headwind, I would figure a distance of roughly 110 is needed. rough lie percentage of 70-75% (use the 75), 100 yard club would only go 75 yards (roughly) - so club up to get the 110 needed - so your 150 yard club (150 x 75% = 112.5) would be ideal. You could also figure in roll-out with the green speed, but it's generally roll-out up to the next club distance.. Also factor in your needed distance whether or not pin is elevated. Add/Subtract 1 yard for every 3FT of elevation change - so +12FT elevated would require 4 extra yards for distance.. Hope this helps.. |

Can I also ask you for some advice on how to deal with slopes on the green? I had opportunities to get an eagle and I taked to get a double boogie  |

I had opportunities to get an eagle and I taked to get a double boogie Reading the green grid is pretty much user specific, everyone develops their own methods. Main thing is pay attention to the number in the HUD as that dictates the speed of the green. 134 is generally medium, 155 fast and 182 is very fast - there are also variations between those numbers. at 134, IMO, a 10 ft putt you stroke approximately 1 second of backswing (that's what I do) - as you get higher - you count less - so if 20ft is 2sec at 134, it would be about 1sec at 155. Reading the slope just takes practice - I generally leave the aim marker at the pin and visualize what the ball roll would be up to the flag - and then adjust the aim accordingly based on where that visualization has the ball ending up.. It's not exact, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty effective. Downhill putts will tend to roll and turn more on a slope, uphill will turn less in general.. |
