Re: Approach shots going 20 yards offline

  I have a problem with approach shots going 20 yards offline  on several holes on Bethpage Black #6 and #9. I set my drives to be within 60 to 135 yards on these holes and repeatedly the shots go wildly off coarse. Even with a ding. This has happened on other coarses also with shots sometimes going OB. This has to be fixed. I am a Legend so I know what it takes to hit close shots. This is killing my game and causing me to think about not playing the game that I love so much anymore. Please fix this so I can be competitive with the rest of my WGTclub members.

  Thank You

  Ive noticed the same thing, especially at Beth Page. One hole in particular is the par five that it a mile uphill and surrounded by bunkers. Aim it right, ding it, and it goes twenty yards right into the bunkers or rough. Definitely should not happen if struck well.

  Put new grips on ur clubs and clean the clubface, and clear out the grooves.

  Hope this helps.

  I find that for ME, 9 plays shorter than stated distances(about 5 yrds) and so does 6 but not as much...much less wind affect also on both holes, I play about 1/2 the wind stated...

  Has to be one of those because there is no other reason to be off that much with those irons u play, those are both very easy birdie holes....the left pin on 6 played a little long and left back s right down to the pin and the putt6s are easy regardless of the pin placement .
