ode There is a small gap from 5 - 7 but it's maybe 1/2 club, same.from 48* to stand alone SW 56* but the GW is easy enough to back off some.

Right now with Maltby irons and wedges I'm at 44/48/52/56. I could ditch the 48* easier than the 52. I played for a long time with a gap between 45* PW and 52. I'm still trying to figure out when to use the 48. 🙂

    rsvman2 I think they generally mean 'up & down' to be for Par.
    But 'on & in' doesn't mean anything at all. Except you finished the hole. Finally.😄

        Par4QC that's how I've always used it, BUT I dunno if that's technically correct as one can get up and down for any score. Ive heard announcers say/use it for scores other than par.

            Yesterday we got our weekly deluge that floods the front nine. Today I played the back nine twice, CPO. 40 with a double, and 44 with a triple and a double. No putts made. But I got some exercise and vitamin D. 🙂

              KCee I remember when I had never broken 90, and I had a lot of fun. And even more fun when I first started, and couldn’t break a hundred. Now it’s more serious! If I don’t break 80, I have to think about what I did. Who am I kidding, even that is fun. Hitting a golf ball is like heroin.

                Played the best course in the metro area today, The Orchards. Tough course, great conditions, fast greens. Shot 86, 12 Fw's 7 GIRs. Tough to hold greens or get it to stop close. Had 3 lip outs that definitely drop on the slower greens I usually play. Hit some of the longest drives I have in a while with a 7.5 degree Soo Long driver at 42". Might be a keeper but will probably have to carry two drivers for when I have a forced carry. Beautiful day out with the wife.

                  Today I played 36 holes with a buddy. He booked the round via golf moose. Round for 2, plus cart, plus replay, total of $90.00
                  1st round I carded 48/46- 94. My buddy went 48/48-96.
                  2nd round I carded 46/51-97. He carded 43/51-94.
                  My driver went south on the 2nd round, so I started to take a partial swing and just try to bunt it down into the fairway so I could hit my 5 iron which was almost golden today. My 7 iron let me have a beautiful straight, long, high shot that hit the green nicely.
                  They had us starting on hole 10, not sure why. They did have guys working on the bunkers on the front 9, yet they didn't close the front 9...

                  ode one can get up and down for any score.

                  Up and down means getting on the green from the vicinity of the green and one-putting for any score. Prove us wrong Sexy Rexy! 😂😄

                  The interwebs says @ode is correct, so.....

                  This is different from scrambling, which has a clear definition: The percent of time a player misses the green in regulation, but still makes par or better. An up an down doesn’t have the requirement that the player has to make par or better, making it a stat that captures more successful occurrences.

                    Typhoon You’re hitting a 42” driver? Who are you… Dorf?

                    Correction, it's 43". It's a shaft I've always hit well no matter the head I put in it.

                        Typhoon Donyou have that shaft in 45”? If you like it that much it might me worth a try

                        I do have another and it's just not as good. Maybe it's the length that makes it work?

                          We played this afternoon. 90° with a dew point of 75° for a heat index of 101.
                          Phuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkk. By the end, I was close to heat exhaustion or whatever the first stage is called. I’m not ready for this.

                          85 and couldn’t wait to get home.

                          Long busy fun week but I think I hit a wall today. Got up early to play and just couldn't get going. Shot a horrible 49 on the front. Just a lack of concentration. Hot dog and two Diet Cokes at the turn for some caffeine and energy I was determined to keep my attention and play better. Shot 40 on the back to make me feel better. Two shots in the sand on 18 kept it from being a 39.

                            Worst round in history.
                            44/43...87. 😲

                            Every facet of the game escaped logic to my brain. And to my **&% clubs. The only decent chips I had was from the snack bar. Putts were by demons. Drunk-assed, weak, demons at that. Drives were the distances of a seed spitting contest. Double bogies were sometimes a blessing.

                            But, if we lived in a small rural town, the local paper would have it written up as....."a good time was had by all"😅.
