Favorite golfer: talent and for what they’ve done for the game, Tiger. For personality it’s a tie between Mickelson and Homa.

had a 45yd shot the other day, was ready to rock with my gap wedge - usually feel ok with the shot, then skulled it over green into creek :frowning:

I’m not a great bunker player to begin with, but those shots are even harder for me. I know exactly what to do, just can’t always do it :man_shrugging:

Love it.

45/50 may be a bit far but in the 25-45 range just take a gap wedge and hit a normal long bunker shot. it’s not terribly difficult and as long as you hit some sand behind the ball it won’t go more than 50. problem is I didn’t even hit sand in front of the ball!

  • Top 3 favorite courses (you’ve played) : haven’t played many… but I live by and play University of Florida’s course and it’s nice
  • Best part of your game : 30-70 yard approach shots
  • Shot that you hate the most : close chip from fluffy rough to short side pin. Either it goes nowhere or all the way across the green lol
  • Favorite golfer (past or present) : Tiger
  • **Top 3 favorite courses (I’ve played): Whiskey Creek, Bethpage Green, Lake Placid Club Links Course (had plans to play Pasatiempo that COVID ruined)
  • Best part of your game: 100-125 yard approach shot
  • Shot that you hate the most : Short sided flop shot
  • Favorite golfer (past or present) : Hard to not pick Tiger, but also a big Rory fan

Top 3 played: Baker Hill, TPC Boston, Crumpin Fox

Best part of my game: Putting

Least favorite shot: 40 yard bunker

Favorite golfer: Phil Mickelson- We are both right handed Lefties.

I don’t know exactly what to do?! I can hit some great green side bunker shots, and fairway bunkers basically no problem, but having to fly it 40 yards kills me.

Hi I open the face, take a small backswing and hit right behind the ball and catch it clean and it comes out like a pitch. Make sure you have a decent follow through and hopefully it comes out high and flies. Practice a bit before trying it on the course
