  hi folks, thinking its time to try chart my clubs abit better. i.e full backspin, 3/4 backspin ect. 

  1. does landing on f/w have  much differance to landing on green?

  2. does hitting from tee have a difrerance to hitting from f/w?

  3. best course for tryiing this out on?

  cheers

  1=yes. Greens run faster so ball will run out more depending on club of choice.

  2=yes. Clubs carry more off the tee.

  3= Low wind practice mode on Kiawah or Bethpage.

  Remember club + ball combo is what you'll be charting - change ball type and the numbers will change somewhat. Don't forget to try out the different shot types you'll use with each club. In general, full and punch shots for your irons, hybrids and woods ... and all shot types with the wedges.

  The latter info will be most useful if the target is the green and pin, as that's where you'll usually be using chips, flops, and pitches.

  Play Bethpage Black back 9 in practice mode with low wind settings..

  Bash your ball up and down the f/way with each club and listen for the "thump" as it lands, do this with full back spin and without and you will have a better idea of your yardages..

  Do the same in pitch/flop and punch mode with your wedges, all you are interested in is the "carry/landing/thump" distance of each, rollout will depend on the landing speed/slope etc of the green and that is something you can make notes for future reference, then when you go into an actual game, if you have written everything down, you will be more accurate and confident :-)

  You are allowed max 10 shots per hole and 10/11 and 12 are relatively flat, so when you have finished at 12, restart at 10, repeat process until satisfied..

  Oh yes and add 2-4 yards for tee shots, depending what your club/ball combo is..

  Hope this helps..
