On a par 5, on your second shot should you use a hybrid, or a 3 or 5 wood? If you drove it 230yards?

Answer 1

depends on the yardage you got left - if you drive the ball 230 yards, you may use a hybrid on a shorter par 5, you may need the 3 wood on a longer par 5 - the general rule of thumb is if you can't get home in 2, lay up to a good yardage in your bag - if you hit your sand wedge 100 yards and you are money from that distance, subtract the 100 yards from the yardage you have left and you should hit the club in your bag to lay up to that distance - good luck

Answer 2

It sounds like you won't be able to hit the green with your second shot. Hit the club that you hit the best - for me it's an 18 degree hybrid. I know I can put that guy about 100 yards from the green (say on a 520 yard hole) and I feel pretty confident with my pitching wedge from that distance. If you can't hit the green (and I surely can't) on a par 5, think about what kind of third shot you want. Then play accordingly. The hybrid for me has more control and I can hit it about 190-200 yards. A birdie chance lurks but more often a par which is fine, too.

Answer 3

par 5 holes are generally looked at as 'opportunity' holes, there is an opportunity to score well, perhaps birdie or even eagle a hole...if you are at or beyond the reach of a green with your second shot , it is highly recommended that you hit a safe distance in the fairway that you can keep good control of a shot to the pin, towards the runway of the green without a hazard or trap in your shot path would be ideal because a look like that will inspire confidence for your approach shot to the green...most players will look to hit a distance to the green that is familiar and short, say 100 yards, something that you can hit high and spinning to a green and get close to the pin vs. having a 200+ shot to the flag and end up in a trap, off the green short sided to the pin or in a hazard...good luck with your course management and your game...

Answer 4

How long's the hole? Are you in rough or on fairway? Are you above or below the green? Do you have to shape the shot? How hard are the greens? Are you laying up or going for it?

I'd use my 3 wood from the fairway and my hybrid (2) from the rough.

Answer 5

Depends on what you are comfortable with. I myself am comfortable with a 3 wood from about 240 and out and a 5 wood from 225 or so. It is all depending on the person though and whether or not you are on an uphill lie or ahve to hit up hill and how far you hit your clubs and what you are comfortable with. It is situational!

Answer 6

Nobody can answer this question accurately. It depends on the course, and how far you hit each club, green size and obstacles.
You might have to hit and run the ball up, or avoid water, a trap etc...
You should probably pay for a couple of lessons. that is the best way to learn.

Answer 7

3 wood

Answer 8

i prefer to use a 4i hybrid

Answer 9

It all depends on the hole layout, your lie after your drive, and what skill level you are...

Answer 10

well, I dont know about the rest of the golfers but, for me my second shot (if you want to call it that), is a PUTT!!!!!! good luck.....
