Mike, this will tell you everything you need to know about how little I care about scoring: I'd say that once every two or three rounds, I'll whip out a 4 iron and hit it lefty from 100 yards, just for the challenge of it, to see if I can do it.
Don't ask me why. I know it makes no sense. But doggone it, I've hit a gazillion aerial lob wedges (and before they existed, sand wedges) over 30 years playing golf. Where's the challenge in doing that? There is nothing new under that sun anymore.
Now hitting flipped over 4 irons lefty -- well that's another story!
Shivas,
I know the feeling exactly.
The most memorable shots I hit all year were times I threw away the wedge-9-iron option from 125 or so yards and instead played a knockdown 6-iron. I hit one on the 13th at Reading CC to kick-in distance that was particularly memorable.
Also, the day at Tallgrass with Jason Blasberg and Kyle Harris in 40-50mph winds was particularly fun, and we invented all sorts of shots from the strangest distances.
Nothing like flushing a 4-iron from 120, or playing a 400 yard hole with a 360 yard drive followed by a 40 yard putt!
