Had a LONG workout on the course today, way to long. all 4 hours.
Practiced everything. Bunker, chip, iron shots and putting and it was way overkill.

I had some questions though that needed to be answered.
What is my 110 yard club? It was my 9 iron, 110-120 yards depending on how much juice I applied and that was with poor range balls. I actually think a smooth 9 iron is enough from 110 yards, no wonder I have missed a lot of approach shots cause I had no clue what my yardages was.

Im going to take this as a estimation based on my 9 iron and use it on the course:
SW: 80 yards
PW: 95 yards maybe more
9 iron: 110 yards
8 Iron: 130 yards
7 Iron: 155 yards
6 Iron: 170yards
5 Iron: ? yards
4 iron: ? yards

I really have no clue on my yardages.. Well I need to find it out. Every time I make a perfect hit on the course I will have to note how far it travels.

I did some chipping and putting today quadruple, to see how good I am and what I need to work on, the results:

Chip and putt: First I chip the ball to a location on the green then I finish it with the putter.

From 24 yards out: 3 strokes on average. Meaning bogey skill right?

From various distances: From all 6 hole locations. Half of the time I got 3 strokes from chip to finished putt half of the time I got 2 strokes. Pin location was everything from 15 yards to 25 yards.
Half 3 and half 2 means a mix of par and bogey golf ability wise.


Only chipping:
From 12 yards- How many Inside 2 yards?
87% of the chips from 12 yards was inside 2 yards.

From 17 yards- Inside 3,5 yards
60% was inside 3,5 yards.

Over 22 yards- Inside 5 yards
Bad results here.
Or, maybe not that bad, but not many par's are going to be saved from chipping on that kind of distance.


Putting results:
From 10 yards:
Average 2 putt. Even made maybe 1 out of 10 from that distance. On this distance there I felt very confident.
Anything over that I made it very difficult for my self to get 2 putts.
From 2,5 yards (6 footer): made 50% of these quite consistently.

So what do you think? From my perspective I feel I need to work on distance controll on the longer putts and not hitting my chips on the toe of the club.

I also tried some flop shots. I would say I am now good enough to use them as long as the ball is sitting down in the rough. I will be delighted to use those over bunkers or down hill when I need to land the ball soft.
