    I would love to play with some of you guys on here, I dont play with many people that hit there irons as long as I do, I would never consider a 9 iron from 170.

    I've also never golfed with anyone who is longer than me consistently. So when do we play to settle this? Get you me and Boostguy out for some good, old fashioned 'whos is bigger'.

    BoostGuy and I are overdue for a round anyways.

    Curious... how strict are they on the handicap requirement at the Citizen? I was tempted to throw 200$ into the fire, but I'm a couple strokes above the advertised 8.0 hcp requirement.

    On their site I read that they'll take the lowest handicaps. So it's possible that even if you're 8.0 or less you won't get in if it's full and there are a lot of low handicappers.

    Does it really matter what club you use as long as it gets there? I played with a guy on Monday who used his 5 wood for most of his approach shots 130, 150, 160 yds, didn't matter and he was hitting the green for the most part.

    Absolutely. Golf isn't about if you successfully get there or not, it's about how manly you look while doing it.
    It's an 8 iron for me...

    lol for me its a fat 6 iron, followed by a 9 iron which flys higher than it does long, (almost a flop shot), followed by a short chip and 3 putts...

    Lol! Well for me, once I am on the green, it is often a putt, a chip, and then 2 more putts!

    Have to change my selection to 6 iron. I'm not hitting near as far as I did even last year. Can't figure it out. But I am hitting the ball much straighter so I'm not complaining!

    Simple: hit your 170 yd club. For some, that might be a seven iron; for others it might be driver. We are all at different levels of proficiency !

    i dont really understand your comment. This thread is asking which club you would hit from 170 yards. It isnt asking how good of a player you are or how effective you are from that distance. So if you arent comfortable answering that question, then ignore the thread and move on.

    And I don't understand your comment. I am very comfortable answering the question and I will repeat my answer: the club I would hit from 170 yds would be my 170 yd club. Some days that might be my 5 iron; some days it might be my 7 wood, or even my 3 wood. But that's just me and how I might be playing that day. For you and anyone else out there, it would likely be a different club.

    If you don't like that answer, then perhaps you might consider ignoring the thread and move on.

    Yesterday at Outaouais I absolutely flushed an 8 iron from the first cut... I didnt hit it hard just a nice easy swing. I was trying to lay up to 100yds. It went high wtih a slight draw, landed and stopped....I measured it with my Skycaddie at 186yds! My 8 iron is normally 140yds!

    left me a pesky 50yd pitch but whatever I had for breakfast yesterday I should have again...crazy game

    This reminds me of a quote I read from Sam Snead. The story was in Golf Digest but I cant remember the issue. He was asked on the range what club he would hit 100yds. Looking confused he said "I could hit any club 100yds depending how I feel and what I'm trying to achieve" He then proceeded to hit every club in his bag to the 100yd marker
