Default Pitching and chipping off of "Thin" fairways
Yesterday I had an 70 or so yard shot to the pin from the fairway. It's been a wet, sloppy winter around here, and many of our fairways are just coming back with pretty thin growth of bermuda over the dirt. So picture the top of a balding mans head. You see some hair, but the scalp is clearly visible.
I used a SW from a "Super Game Improvement" set of irons. I skulled the shot, and the ball went off the back of the green.
I came back home, found some similar ground and tried hitting 10 balls with two different SW's for comparison. The SGI SW was harder to get the ball up and "over" with to the target. I missed about 4/10 with that wedge. The R-11 SW got all but one of the 10 up and over. Flight and distance also more consistent. Everything else was the same.
Anyone else have a problem with SGI wedges on very thin turf?
Thanks.
