How do you measure distance/Get a coach (hehe, 2 in 1 thread)

[atom]

From my previous thread, i mentioned i can only reach 125 yards for 7-iron, recently, i changed by swing (after realizing my right elbow was too high).. i am still working on it but i see the only improvement (after 1 range session) was:

still 125 yards, but with a rolling till 150 yards after it lands, and quite constantly... does it mean my 7 iron distance is 150 yards in our terms?, or we do not consider +rolling?

anyway, i am very amazed as after playing for a year plus, i got this kind of land and roll mid iron shot... changing here and there... it is necessary to get a coaching lessons i would advise people just take up less than half a year and think you need not have one..... I have been realizing my mistakes every now and then through books and magazines... that's not going to work, waste of time...

Start investing an instructor.

Coaching, is the best way to improve.

Measure distance

1. If you want to run the ball up onto a green that's 150 yards away, you include the roll.
2. If you want to clear a water hazard, you measure flight only.
3. If you want to post your distances on an internet forum, you claim to have a 6 handicap and hit a 9 iron 180 yards.

I'm sure everyone on here when inflating their e-peen talks about roll too, myself included.

However, just know both numbers for when Wirehair says...
