  Not really interested in tourneys, just play for my own fun and relaxation.  Joined the club when I first started here, but just not my thing I guess.

  It's obvious someone has the custom bag, and ya'll be tucked inside it sipping brandy!

  I'm on the fringe chipping.  It's 9 feet to the pin 6 in. up.  The wind is blowing 18 mph in my face.  I choose my 60 degree wedge in chip mode which gives me a distance of 10  feet. I make the chip at about 95% power and the ball goes 14 feet.  How are you supposed to make a good shot when this happens, and it happens a lot on other shots and distances.

  Appreciate any input.  Thanks.

  Fringe shots always go further than you think.   Unless your putting, then you need a little more power...   When using a wedge...  It's like hitting off glass and the ball will go that little bit extra

  Edit....  I failed English....  before somebody says, I will correct....lol   * Unless you're putting....    ahhh, that's better,    I think....lol

  I don't use chip shot mode much, from the fringe or anywhere else. I get more consistent results using pitch because pitch eliminates a lot more of the green between the ball and the hole which cuts down on the number of variables that can affect the shot.

  I almost always use full backspin when I chip, pitch, or flop.
