re: Do you ever layup/hit into the rough intentionally for a softer lie?

You’re like the 4th person to bring the bounce on my wedges up. Jesus Christ the people on this board can be insufferable :lol: Maybe, just MAYBE miss hits on the course are my own damn fault and not the club. Y’all must be unbelievably unbearable to play with. ...

I actually have more of a thinning issue than a chunking issue. Damnit people, stop trying to diagnose my swing :lol:...

50% is an exaggeration, but it definitely happens too much for my skill level. Anyway, stop giving me swing advice people I asked a specific question :lol:...

That’s a goood approach. I absolutey know how to hit the shot, and I can do it very well, I’m sure it’s mental I just have to find a way to be confident over the shot. Yesterday a was in the fairway on 17 56yds from the green on a par 5, +5 on my round, shooting in the 70’s looking good. Chunked...

Do you ever layup/hit into the rough intentionally for a softer lie?

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/22/24 at 3:40 pm

I was thinking about this while practicing today. I’ve realized that I’m very comfortable with a wedge shot between 35-60 yds if it’s in a fluffy lie, but if it’s in the fairway or tight lie I’m toast, 50% chance of a chunk/thin shot. My two thoughts were 1. Try to never leave myself this shot, b...

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/22/24 at 12:26 pm

Pretty sure the rub screen pick and pop was supposed to lead to a CJ attack then kick to Trey, or a quick swing to Trey depending on the defense. Then the play didn’t work and CJ decided to play hero ball instead...

You nailed it but unfortunately my concern is that when we give up a few open 3’s and a driving bucket Jonas will get yanked because he “can’t defend”. Then we will go with Larry who will be marginally faster on rotations but won’t make Chet work at all on defense. ...

[quote]He'll be tempted to go to Larry early and often because he's worried about OKC playing 5-out when JV is on the floor. [/quote] Yea unfortunately you’re probably right. The issue is we are at a disadvantage regardless of who’s in the game when they go 5 out. May as well leave Jonas and have o...

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/21/24 at 12:05 pm

Chet is good and he’s definitely going to score a lot on us. Chet is also a 7ft Gumby with less muscle mass than a middle schooler. We need a heavy dose of Jonas’s shoulder in Chet’s chest. I really hope Willy doesn’t give Larry 25 minutes because he’s “faster” than Jonas. Without Zion we need t...
