Skeener: I can relate to the same problem on the back nine, so my little lotus blossom had me switch to other refreshments still didn't fix my chipping.

Well I guess I am lucky that we normally play capitan's choice and my cousin which is my partner normally picks up my slack with the short game. I was really impressed the last time I played.. on the 17 hole I hit close to a 320 yard drive and then took my new King Cobra baffler 3 iron (the first time ever hitting it)and hit it about 215 yards and landed about 6ft from the hole for eagle. Can't ask for anything more from a drunk golfer.

Now you're sure that 320 yarder was with a club not the cart chasing the beverage lady

It could have been... but I don't think so because these carts at this course don't go over walking speed which I guess is a good thing, I would hate to black out and fall out of the cart at 30mph.

Ya got me on that one I don't have a smart Axx remark. I will say that the best drive I've had is only 280 oon a 300 yard par 4, still bogied the bugger.

I do that a lot too. I think I am a pro at making a perfect tee shot on a hole look absolutly horrible. At on of the courses here there is a hole that is a par 4 about 425 yards down hill! If you really rip a good drive you can be sitting at about 50 yards out... 2nd shot.. in the woods haha.

you know I'm good at giving advise on golf ,since I make every mistake there is. Casey stangle, no I don' think it was him,Yogi Beara(sic) once said this about baseball but it applies to golf, paraphrasing,; " its 50% mental and the other part is 50% thinking" I sometimes just think I'm a nut case with a bad short game gone mental.

I judge my wedge distance's quite well. My sandwedge is pretty deadly . My trouble is that I'm always leaving myself 10ft putts.

I beleive King woods has the shots we need to learn. put the wedges away on closer shots and use other irons. The bump and run, but practice first.

Dave Pelz has a good book on the short game. I practice the ladder drill for short chips and use the clock system for pitches to 100 yards out and sometimes for longer shots with wind. The easiest for me is 9 oclock and if I choke up on the clubs it gives me even more different yardages with each club
