It’s Febuary 2024 and what’s better than seeing just how well I know my club distances. This video uncovers the biggest challenge to any golfer – and that is THE GAPS BETWEEN CLUBS. How do you fix this and how well do you know your swing?
Obviously this is all possible with the use of my Garmin R10, which allows me to obtain all the key stats and details to share with you
I hope you enjoyed the video and do feel to share your thoughts in the comments section.

It comes down to two things now right it comes down to me not knowing what 100% shot is or just me not being able to hit the clubs properly that’s exactly the PGA average yep okay I can do that 234 234 what’s up everybody and welcome to another episode today you’re getting
My club distances it’s currently February it’s cold however I’m going to be showing you my driver all the way down to my lob wedge I’m going to be showing you some of the areas within my bag that are causing me problems and I’m going to do all of this using the Garmin
R10 which shows the club path spin rate carry distances and all the things that are relevant to know exactly where I need to improve on in 2024 hope you guys are good let’s get into it all right guys stock yardages for me 58° let’s see how this goes three shots on each
One bit High 901 same well that sounds consistently nice well some people Sand Wedge but for me it’s a 54 okay that’s quite consistent 98 and 19 9 next is my gap wedge this should be going about 110 it’s about5 I hit that really good so 110 it is all right pitching
Wedge should be about 125 that I hit that well5 y 135 yard and I didn’t smash that either so that’s a problem or yeah 25 yard Gap is not good all right 99 um this should be going about 140 140 carry let’s see oh God that’s long as well is3
Y are we liking it or are we not liking it I’m not liking it if the you can get greedy about distance as much as you want but if you’ve got 20 or 30 yard gaps between your clubs then it’s just crap either I’m hitting it badly
Or I refuse to accept that my 99 goes 163 yard carry I refuse that it’s too far you think it’s just too far oh no it’s long as well isn’t it that’s 1604 y eight iron next yeah I’m worried guys I am I’m not going to lie the things
That should be get me excited aren’t and that’s just a big gap between clubs it’s a bit left but it should be about 165 165 y this 8 iron 8 iron yeah yeah that’s 170 181 Jesus it’s a good shot yeah the Long’s great if I have to
Hit it long but it’s not good because then I’m I nobody needs to hit an AI for so it comes down to two things now right it comes down to me not knowing what 100% shot is or just me not being able to hit the clubs properly because I can’t
Manage the distance I think that’s what it comes down to it’s not the clubs doing the distance it’s me managing the distance and I can’t do that and that’s effectively like as amateur as you can get if you can’t manage the distances of clubs then when you get on the course
What are you doing I mean I didn’t hit hard I didn’t hit hard 166 that’s about right so maybe the thing is I just shouldn’t hit my clubs 100% yeah like tiger said 79 this should be going about yeah about 170 that should be 165 okay you know what I’m not mad about
That I quite like that 158 great low flight 172 that’s that’s exactly the PGA average yep okay I can do that six iron it’s yeah six your favorite Club in the bag it is my favorite Club in the bag because I don’t really like hitting long
Irons but for some reason this one goes nicely this should be going about 185 I teast that that’s G yes 185 185 carry yeah it went 185 carry 205 total that’s literally there time like you teeth it a bit maybe I’m wrong no it was okay ow
No ow I’m good I’m good with that don’t want to hit anymore my four hybrid that should be a 200 yard carry it’s a good shot 2011 yep good I think you know what I’m happy with that so yeah I’m hitting I’m hitting the heavenwood aka the seven
Wood I haven’t actually put it in the thing I haven’t added it to my clubs it’s okay I’ll put it on the hybrid this should be going again 2 210 220 I hit that 215 it’s about a 210 Club I’ll take Harry 3-wood my least favorite Club in the bag
Completely I just don’t like it I don’t know why oh oh God I hit that 234 234 I finally when the funny thing is when I get to the that end of the clubs I don’t mind it the distance just the bottom part which I hate the the
Irons the lower ones yeah they should be a lot closer and I just think I find it more difficult to control an 80% shot or 70% iron shot or wet shot than controlling that driver driver in hand eh yeah I reckon I’m going to carry this about 250 that’s
Gone 235 yards carry okay that I can do I was saying 240 carry 20 yards longer well guys there you have it those are my golf club distances I hope you enjoyed the video I hope you probably understand understand as well that as an amateur golfer one of the challenges we face not
Just by hitting the ball straight but trying to get the gaps within our golf bag to stay consistent and that’s my problem having too many large gaps in certain areas are probably going to cause me a lot of trouble on the golf course so if you can relate to that do
Get in the comments and do share some tips as well if you know ways of where I can clip and shorten those distances in my golf bag that’ be fantastic as always if you like the video as well do like and um do subscribe if you want to see
More of this and I’ll see you see you guys in the next episode Peace

Hi mate, good video and impressive numbers in the 9-7 iron. I would say you maybe pulled those shots, so will likely go a lot further. I would focus on keeping that left foot planted. Remember the lower end of the bag till about 6 iron is your scoring clubs, so no need to hit them hard, focus on direction.
