Hi Shawn,
question about power.
If the hole is at 175 yards, My 7 iron is my 175 full shot club when I flush it, should I be hitting it with a 7i or a softer 6 iron?
Usually I end up trying to hit the club that would be the maximum distance that the club gives me. A lot of times my effort is very high.
Very important here:
If the pin is at the back of the green, and it is 175, then yes, you take the 7 iron and swing smooth; if you flush it, you are at the pin, if you have a good miss, you are centre of green.
if the pin is in front, and the trouble is in front, then it’s a comfortable 6.
Never place yourself in a position to strain, and never release towards trouble unless you have to which should be less than 5% of the time.
Makes sense. Problem I still face is hitting easy. For example with a driver trying to hit long but swinging as if its 220 yards, nice and smooth without strain gives a much longer distance, as the aim is not getting to a target but a maximum you can squeeze out of the swing. Keeping the same distance in mind, hitting a 6 iron, I always leave it short or pull it, when trying to hit it comfy/ easy.

these are really fun to watch
on the second video you mention that puts break within 4 feet of the hole. Can you expand on this?
Yes, when the putt slows down in the last 4 to 6 feet from the hole, this is when it takes the break and moves; so that area is where you want to perform the visualisation.
Hey Shawn,
Really enjoyed the playing videos. Only thing better would be if I was there plying with you, my course management sometimes is the cause of my blowup hole.
I had double bypass surgery just 7 mos. ago and got allot of time to watch wisdom of golf instruction. I am now on the course every week putting those gems to good use and just wanted to say thank you! I am 60 yrs. Old and playing to a 10 hcp. and slowly lowering that back to an 8 which is where I was before surgery.

Hi Shawn,
Been enjoying your videos. Was looking for any videos on hitting out of the rough. The only one I saw was #6 in the on course playing lessons. Curious if you’ve got something more in-depth.

hey Vik! We will have some more this year on this for sure; the key is to choose the right task which is the “cutting of the dandelion stem” in my book and understanding there will be more resistance to that cut. Then you need to goldie-locks the club you are going to use to make sure you have the proper loft so that when you get through the stem, the ball won’t meet a wall of grass! 😝
