Another Day at the Range

So I was back at the range today. Nice day. Really nice day. We get a lot of those in South Texas this time of year. Must of been a high of about 75. Nice and sunny though. Absolutely no wind, which is why I decided to hit the range.

So, about the range. It was a very productive session, for the most part. I hit all of my wedges today. My goal was to know exactly what their yardages were. Mission accomplished. I think.

Today, I was hitting my 60 degree wedge about 65-70 yards. My 56 degree wedge is going about 80. I hit a 3/4 PW about 90 and a full PW about 100. Thats about as far as I got today. Quick question to anyone reading this. Are these yardages about right for the respective clubs? Are they short, long? What do you hit with these wedges or something similar? Just trying to see where I stand.

Overall I was very satisfied with my outing. I'm sure this will go a long way in my next round. We'll just have to see. I'll keep you posted.

We all hit our clubs varying distances. You shouldn't attempt to measure up against someone else. Your build, strength, & agility are all unique to you. There are threads on the forums whuch show the average distances we hit. What you need to do is learn your personal distances, then when you are on the course hit the necessary club.
Other weather & ground conditions have an effect on the distance you hit (and direction).
Great Blog, catch you later.
