Notice how we have highlighted how far the ball carries and not total distance, this is because the carry distance is far more important than the total distance for most of your clubs. I want to know, just how far through the air I can hit each of the clubs in my bag which in theory will be consistent before we consider how the ball is lying, wind, slope etc.
So, get to know your carry yardages! This information will have a significant impact on your course strategy, such as:
Off the tee - Take on the trap or not to take on the trap? That is the question! Will help you when considering the various hazards lying in wait on any golf course.
Laying up - What club do I hit to leave me the yardage that based on my skillset gives me the best chance to save a par or even make a birdie?
With the wonders of our ever-easing access to information and technology at Long Ashton Golf Club, take advantage by getting a session booked in with your PGA Pro to get your yardage numbers.
