I went to the range last Tuesday and was having a problem with all my clubs. I got reasonably good ball flight, but the shots went all over the place.
I had a bucket of 30 balls, and hit only about four or five each with my driver, 24-degree hybrid, and my 7-iron. I got a lot of missed fairways and missed greens.
So I put down those clubs and hit the rest of the balls with my wedges, to work on those important shots. All went well.
Actually, I stopped hitting wedges when there were three balls left, I took out the long clubs again for one swing each. One drive, a draw to the left side. Hybrid, center of the green. 7-iron? As Gary Player says, I hit it so straight you had to lean to the side to see the pin.
Now you could say that I hit those last three so well because I was finally warmed up. I think it’s because of all those wedges I hit.
Try it yourself and see.
