Man, I'm with you . If I would take just a little more time visualizing and thinking about which hinge makes the most sense with the presenting shot I'd be a much better scorer. When I do think a bit, good things happen. When I just react my luck is usually not as good. I did actually plan a 25 yd. pitch yesterday with a vertical hing over a grass bunker and the ball ducked into the hole. That birdie was a follow up to a horizontal hinge wedge across the green for a 3rd shot on a par 5 resulting in a tap in bird. I continued to think for another 3 holes before I put it into automatic and careened to two straight bogies. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

When I isolate my vertical left wrist over the ball, I can pick the hinge. When I'm in the bunker, I align my vertical left wrist to whatever target line seems good and hinge or clubface. In both, I drive my right forearm down with a stationary head. Lynn taught me a Paul Runyan putting and chipping motion for shorter chips built on the putting motion.

You "putt your chip!" The club varies as the distance varies! AND I HAVE LOST 10 POUNDS!!!!!
