Good story, if you saw my fairway shots yesterday you'd think I was playing a five iron

What I noticed was that I was striking the ball well with my irons. It seemed like anything I pulled out of my bag I hit well...Except my 4 iron. I used it once, and sliced a weak shot in to the water, and ended up doubling the hole. This wasn't a rarity either. I only had to use it once yesterday, but that weak slice is a common occurance whenever I pull it out of the bag.

What gets me is that this is the only club I hit poorly consistently. Any suggestions as to why this might be and how I could remedy it?

I replaced my 4 and 5 irons with TM hybrids.... problem solved.

yes hybirds do help to replace the long irons.

I'll "third" that motion. I have three hybrids. I took my 5 iron out of my bag recently, and I only carry my 4 iron to make punch shots out from under/behind the trees. I'd never try to hit full shots with that 4 iron: the hybrids are so much easier for me to hit well.

Rick: I was responding to TGOH, It was Surtee's fault He had me laughing from another post, but there goes the neighborhood in Windsor or may be I should call the golf courses and warn them about me

Hmmmm.... for most people, Windsor is someplace to get away from, not go to.

My recommendation is to get over and play Mariana Buttes in Loveland. It's only 18 easy miles from Pelican Bay (CR 17 south to Highway 34, then straight west to N. Rossum Dr., turn south and you're there), and it's a nice fun course to play.

It's known as Tornados

I'll suggest the course in Loveland Thanks

It's always someone elses fault isn't it Bob?
