Just a thought... you seem to chip everything around the greens with a lob wedge. Not saying that can't work, but may want to try chipping with a gap or pitching wedge. May work better for you. Again, not saying it will - but it might.

Thanks for the thought. Yes, I did use my LW most often this round and primarily it was in order to become more familiar with the club and its reaction for me. I have not typically used this club, though it has always been in my bag. During a recent session with my pro, the need to do a short, high-up, and over a bunker shot came up and he suggested I use my LW, where I would have normally used my PW with a choked down grip. There are shots this past round where I normally would use another club, but chose the LW for practice.

One of my favorite clubs for short chips is my 8-iron hit with a putting stroke. This is a shot that has worked really well for me in the past.

Thanks for the support though. This forum and its members are amazingly helpful.
