Yesterday I played nine holes from tees that are way too long for me. As a result, I hit long pitches into six of the nine greens.<\/p>\n
Two of the other greens I got on by hitting a 7-iron bump-and-run. <\/p>\n
That is a good shot to have when you are too far away to chip, but too close to pitch, and the lie is tight.<\/p>\n
What about the ninth green? I hit that one with a drive and a 5-wood. It had to happen at least one time!<\/p>\n
By the way, say you have a pitch that you know goes 65 yards and you laser the pin and find that it is 65 yards away. <\/p>\n
Whatever you do, don’t hit that pitch! It will land and release about about four yards. Hit your 60-yard pitch instead.<\/p>\n
