I stopped spinning the ball for a reason. The last time I did it I had just pounded a monster drive about 340, cutting a dogleg over a pond. I had about 70 yards left and I pulled out my trusty 55* stinger wedge. Hit a nice smooth 3/4 shot with loads of backspin. Spun it from 3 feet to the pin back off the green into a bunker. End result. Bad bunker shot and 2 putts for bogey. If I would have just stuck it instead of being fancy I would have birdied the ******* hole. Course management is a big factor in shooting better scores.
