5 wood no good
For the past few rounds, every shot I’ve hit with my 5 wood has been a slice. Perhaps the club itself is flawed; it’s the only club in my bag with a regular shaft flex, and the lie angle is flatter than my other clubs. I really should stop using it, but I can’t resist when I’m lying right next the 200 marker.
Tomorrow, I’ll be taking my talents to Saxon Woods Golf Course. The first hole seems like a perfect candidate for a fading 5 wood:
Is the cut 5 wood a risky shot on this dogleg right? The biggest risk is over slicing and ending up deep in the right woods. I could lessen this risk by aiming further left. Aimed left, there isn’t much risk of hitting the ball straight, as I’ve decided that’s physically impossible with my 5 wood.
A nice fading 5 wood would work perfectly on this hole. Let’s hope I have the cojones to use my least favorite club the first shot of the day and pull it off.
