Proper Club Selection

photo credit: nsaplayer   Going over your past approach shots you will find that most come up short.  Do you know that the majority of amateurs, if not scratch players, land short of the pin?  The real question is what causes this problem.

The problem is by ”wishful thinking.”  If you are 130 to 150 yards from the pin, do you go with a 7-iron or a 6-iron?  Most golfers would use a 7 and come up short.  Using a 6-iron may put you on the back fringe but that’s not all bad, there’s usually minimal trouble on the back side of most greens.  The trouble on most greens is on the front side.  Remember, it’s better to over-club than under-club in almost every situation.
