Most everyone who has played this game for any length of time had suffered through a bout of the s****s. Every once in a while I've had them sneak into my bag. Usually, it happens with the wedges. I've got to where I can normally fix it after the first one hits.
Today, the front 9 saw the irons working well. I striped a couple of long to mid irons that I hardly felt leave the clubface. Had a short... 15 minute... wait between the front and back nines. Hit a long drive off #10. A fairway wood took me to 8-iron range. And, CLUNK! S****ed the 8 Tea Party right. Got up and down for a par thanks to a great wedge shot.
#11 saw the longest drive of the group left me center of the fairway. Should have been a smooth 6 to the pin. CLUNK! Dead right. And those clunkers sting!!!! Wedge caught a tree branch. Double bogey!
#12 again drilled a long drive. 9 iron should have covered the pin. CLUNK! Yep! Hard right turn.
That's the way the irons worked for the remainder of the round. Both par 3's on the back saw good solid contact. Anything from the fairway was a s***k. Simply could not get it worked out.
The wedges for chips never had an issue, thank goodness. Made some stellar saves with the 52 and 58 degree wedges. If it was a 5 iron down to a 9 iron.... look out right!
What have most of you found to be a good on-course cure for the dreaded s****s??
