Tony....you are thinking well....

I can play 3/4 shots with confidence but still am scared of 1/2 swings. But, everyone has their own plan and it is essential to play to your strengths.

Since buying clubs with a 45* PW, I've been using the 52 TM Satin for scary in-betweeners.

t.b.h. I've been playing the percentage game a lot recently (and that is a lot, as I've been clocking up min 9 holes a day for 3 weeks).

If I've got bang on 100 (which is quite common since I tee off with the club to leave that distance, or up to 120 if it goes poorly!) I will look at the position of the flag. If there's no trouble short and the pin is front, I'll almost certainly hit the 52, which might only reach 95. If the flag is at the back I might go with an easy PW. Most greens are 25-30 yards long, so if I middle the PW and it goes almost full distance, I'll be just on the back. Either way, I'm not too far away.

Anything under 40 yards is a big chip-type shot. 40-60 is lottery time!!! I've been know to play huge 7 iron chips using the contours...these are cool in the summer and on links courses but risky in the winter. a.t.m. I'm not needing to do any of this.....thank goodness for summer roll.....
