Game:What would you hit?

[Rich71691]

go for it(I am great on lob shots, that is all I practice)

200y par 3 Island green ;green 5 paces from the edge layup area 50 yards from the hole or go for it

[emc]

Play for the centre of the green and get out of there with par.

 

105 yards to the flag, your sand wedge is going 100. There's a huge run-off short of the flag. You need to get up and down to win. Do you pump a sand wedge and risk the runoff or play an easier gap wedge in?

[Rich71691]

I don't really have a sand wedge(54* and a 58*) but I would use a hard sandwedge.

300 yard par 4, pretty tight, can't see the green dog leg right just alittle though, go for it for either a putt, chip, or a short wedge to the hole or lay up and have 100 yards safe

[Ditty_72]

100 yards safe. Maybe a bit closer (80 yards short)

 

You need to pull 4 clubs out of your bag, leaving you with 10 so your round involves more shotmaking. Which 10 clubs do you choose?

[EHSgolf11]

3 wood

3 iron

4

5

6

7

8

9

pw

sw

[Ditty_72]

No putter?

 

Also, you forgot to put a thing.

[EHSgolf11]

Haha, I'm a little tired.

 

270 yard par 4

Lake in front of green (260 to carry)

Lay up or bring out the big stick?

[Rich71691]

kill it!! You are 4 down 5 holes to play two 2(short with water and one long one with a large pot bunker) are par 3s and 1 par 4(400yds pretty clean) and a par 5(short/medium lots of bunkers and water on the right) what do you do???

Rich

[sync71]

I'd play very agressive because to win you have to get all 5 holes or to atleast force a play off you have to win 4 and tie one. And if you are 4 down to begin with your ethier playing bad or your partner is playing very good.

 

 

Hers the senerio,

 

 

You are going into your first sudden death play off hole, you are on a long 600 yard par 5 with a dog leg to the left. With water running down the right side of the hole and woods on the other. You hit a good solid drive and your oppennt puts it in a deep fairway bunker. You hit your second shot into the water. And go to the drop area and you can ethier punch through the trees which are still thick to try and get a still easier up and down from some pretty short ruff. Or you can chip out and hopefully stick it close and then putt. You are still about 150 yards out if you chip out and your partner hit a clean shot from the bunker and is going for 3 from 120 out. What would you do?

[GregMarc5280]

Id chip out and knock the 8 irons close. Fairway anyday.

 

Ok here we go, your balls right up against the right side of a tree just in the rough. A rightys got no where stand. Your 125 out, what do you do? Turn around, play it lefty? Try to get it back to the fairway?

[Rich71691]

aggresive. You are in a play off so you place well any way and you have to do good to at least get another play off hole.

 

120 out, a tree in your way, you can only hit the ball 3-5 feet in the air, what do you play?

[kblakeney35]

Well obviously, since I can only hit it 5 ft high, ill take a 5 iron and hit it 5 ft high and roll it onto the green.

 

Given the choice of any shot (sans putts of course), what would you hit with absolute confidence that you could pull it off?

 

-Kyle

[emc]

95 yard sand wedge, I'd be confident of inside 15 ft every time.

 

You're playing a long course, and you can't hit your driver at all on the driver. Do you play safe and take 3 woods that you know will be safe or do you risk driver in the hope of shorter shots in?

[sync71]

Take out the 3 wood instead of messing around with the drive which you havent been hitting well.

 

You're in a 10 foot deep bunker pretty much all the way around except the back is level with the ground, with about 5 feet to the wall, do you try and get it up and over or just turn around and chip out.

[emc]

If it's a greenside bunker I'll try and get the ball over the wall. If it's a fairway bunker, I'll take a sand wedge and make sure I get the ball up

 

It's a real tight fairway, 20 yards across. OB tight left and water tight right. You're in a playiff and you're off first. The hole is driver, 7 iron or 3 wood 5 iron distance with water all around the green. Do you play 3 wood and put pressure on your opponent or do you risk driver but if it pays off have a great chance at birdie?

[sync71]

I'd go 3 wood, 5 iron because my driver gets away from a couple times a round and I wouldn't want to mess it up and lose all together.

 

 

 

Your on a really short par 4, 275 yards. You carry the ball 270 lets say. And there is water going across the front of the green. That is 260 to the front of it and 267 to the back of the water. Do you Lay up before it or go for the green?

[emc]

5 iron sand wedge. I want to make par at worst but have a good chance of birdie

[emc]

Sorry! Forgot to post a new situation.

 

You are forced to lay up. Which wedge/distance do you lay up to?

[Rabidpenguin45]

I'd lay up to about 90 yards... I'd pull out my cg11 and fire straight at the flag, knowing i'll hit it close.

 

You are Even going into a 580 yard par five. There is water down the right hand side and many many trees down the left hand side... Not to mention a forced carry of at least 260 yards... Your apponent pulls out driver and hits it 320 yards, leaving a three wood into the green. Do you... Hit driver, and go for it in 2, or hit a more controled club, knowing you can hit a good 3 shot close, and hope that your opponent chokes on his second shot.

[Ditty_72]

I play it like a 3-shot hole. I can't get there in 2 from 580, and if the guy makes eagle, great for him, he deserves to win the hole. I can make birdie fairly often from around 100-105 yards, so I'd lay up to around there, and hopefulyl make birdie and tie him, or even win the hole if chokes.

 

You're only allowed to play with 1 club- which one do you pick? (1 club period- you have to use that club for putts, off the tee, everything)

[Rich71691]

7 iron very versitale

 

 

very narrow hole, about 280 yards down hill you can reach if you use the big stick but If you lay up you will have a severe down hill lie what do you do???

[r7425]

Go for it, I'll take my chances getting up and down around the green

 

You already broke your putter over your knee, so what club do you putt with?

[Ditty_72]

HAHA

 

I'd putt with my lowest iron, which in most cases would be my 2 iron.

 

2 iron, 2 hybrid or 5 wood? Which do you carry?

[EHSgolf11]

2 iron is im swinging well, otherwise hybrid

 

your on the fringe of the green of a par 3, you must get up and down, the pin is about 50 feet and 2 teers above you, do you putt it or chip it?

[sync71]

I'd take my hybrid and run it up there, because it putts a little more on it and you can't really mess it up as were in chipping you could skull and what not.

 

 

 

Your in a fairway bunker 130 yards out with a Big pine tree in front of you, what do you do.

[Rich71691]

pw or 9 iron and cut it around the tree.

 

 

you are short sided. a bunker is between you and the green the green is only 2 paces on and down hill and down grain. do you hit a flop and try to get it near or do you go for 10 feet away??

Rich

[emc]

Be aggressive and try and land it in the hole.

 

You're 120 yards out, with water short of the green. You have a 60ft tree in your way about 10ft in front of you. Do you play for a big hook/slice and risk it going in the drink or do you chip out in front of the water

chip out backwards to 135 and im money from there.

 

your winning a tournament by 2 strokes and the final hole is a par 3 235 yards with water shrot left and long. a 30 mph gust of wind is blowing towards the keft. do u go pw, sw and make bogey or go for the green and hope you dont hit into the water.

[emc]

I'll choke down on a 3 wood, aim it at the flag and try and hook it 20 yards right. If I lay up there's still a chance of going in the water with that big of a wind.

 

50 yards out in the fairway. You need to get up and down to win but all in front of the green is water. The pin is 6 feet on. Are you aggressive or do you play 20 feet by and hope for a putt?

Take out a 56* wedge and try and hit some kind of shot with as much spin as possible. Right at the pin.

 

short par 5, reachable in 2 if you hit the fairway, but if you miss fairway there is knarly rough and over hanging trees. Hit driver to have a chance at the green in 2 or play smart and make it a 3 shot hole.
