Even though I have a general idea of how far I go with each club, I think I want to get more specific with it. Thanks for the idea. I’m going to try this.

]]> Comment on More About Your Golf Clubs by Rob Rinderer http://www.golfernewbies.com/2009/11/02/more-about-your-golf-clubs/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Rob Rinderer Sun, 22 Nov 2009 03:10:23 +0000 http://www.golfernewbies.com/?p=67#comment-8 This is really great information. As a golfer newbie myself I have an additional thought as well. Even though I like using my driver, and don't want to completely go away from it, I think a big part of my frustration has been that I've been trying to use my driver too much. There are many times when my 3-wood would be a better choice. Or even a 5-iron. I often can hit as far or almost as far with my 5-iron as with my driver but much, MUCH straighter. I've heard other golfers say that newbies shouldn't always try to go for it with every drive, but consider dividing the distance to the green in half. For instance, let's say your at a 4 par hole that is 340 yards long. And let's also say for the sake of argument that you typically hit 190-200 yards (but not particularly straight) with your driver and you hit 160-170 yards with your 5-iron and relatively straight. In this case, it's a much better play to go 170 yards with your 5-iron, do the same on your second shot, and then your on the green in two. If you can then 2 putt, you've just parred the hole! That would be awesome for any golfer newbie! Just a thought. I even know some more advanced golfers who use this strategy! Happy golfing! BTW, great website. I'm happy I was one of the people who inspired you to take up this incredible game! This is really great information. As a golfer newbie myself I have an additional thought as well.
