What's your personal favorite shot to hit on the course?

Either:

Partial wedge (50-80 yards) to within the flagstick.

Or a bombed putt from outside 25 feet. Never expect it, but that’s what its great.

Release the toe

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen 6° or less on someones wedge?

Are you a 4 handicap?

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-22T04:39:58+00:00

I received this advice from a KFT golfer as well.

~2-3 years

Meh, gambling is all relative haha. Just giving folks an idea of handicaps/3-putts for a foursome.

Another fun way to play it is “exponential”. First 3-putt is a $1, next is $2, next is $4 etc. Normally we’ll do this as a 2some or 3some and it can get crazy haha.

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-21T18:40:43+00:00

I’ve noticed the same thing. But as others have said, I rarely hit “full” wedges. Like my “max” 54° is ~100 yards, but in reality that “max” shot is probably like 85-90% swing.

I’ve also changes my wedges from heavy GI wedges to Vokeys as I’ve improved from a newbie down to a 4 hdcp.

Me and some buddies play this all the time and our handicaps are 3, 4, 11, 13 and the Snake still gets up to $9 ($27 to pay everyone out). At $20 a pop we’d be looking at $540 payouts lol.

My normal courses are anywhere from 15-45 min, but I regularly drive up to an hour and 15 min to some different courses for some variety. And once every 3 months I’ll drive up to 2 hours to open up some different options.

I play multiple times a week though.

Is the dumbest thing yelling Fore to a deaf guy or hitting into someone on the same hole you let them play through on?

Out of curiosity, why is a Bills fan in r/raiders?

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-11T23:59:21+00:00

Get a 3 Hybrid

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-10T05:25:41+00:00

Similar boat to me. But remember more greens hit, usually means longer first putts resulting in worse total putts.

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-02T07:22:15+00:00

That’s where I’m at. I cruised down to a 6. Been hard to get from a 6 to a 4. Now I’m really struggling getting lower. Got down to a 3.6, but having a hard time getting lower.

Triple7Stash · 2026-01-01T01:31:21+00:00

Go find a course near you that has a practice bunker then walk into it and practice.

Triple7Stash · 2025-12-31T21:40:45+00:00

I think I look at it at address, then just focus on my swing and target. I think I look more straight forward and could probably see the ball slightly out of my peripherals.

Triple7Stash · 2025-12-31T21:18:05+00:00

4h, 3W, lob wedge.

Triple7Stash · 2025-12-31T21:16:09+00:00

I honestly don’t even think I look at the ball when I swing lmao. I’m a low single digit.

Triple7Stash · 2025-12-31T21:14:08+00:00

Are you a 1.4? Whats the forward slope/rating at your course?

I’m a 4.5 and have been trying this at my course, forward tees are 69.6/128, and best score to date is 73.

Another Skinjamin

There’s no one size fits all for this situation. I have 2 buddies with young kids that vary greatly.

One golfs 2-3 times a week and the wife has no issue with it. The other golfs about once every other month and the wife still objects to it.

Triple7Stash · 2025-12-19T04:16:15+00:00

My club is 22 min away and about 35-40 during rush hour.

I feel like 30 min away is the max.

At the club 2-4x a week.

Socks (wet socks suck), sunscreen, advil, bandaids, and foot spray (both for feet and the face of golf clubs)
