Most of us have 13 clubs and a putter in our golf bag. The chances are your set make-up is pretty standard, with a selection of wedges, irons and woods, along with maybe one or two hybrids in place of your long irons in the mix. But do your clubs each travel a set distance with an even distance gap between each one? This is the key to scoring and it’s called distance gapping.
Knowing, with reasonable precision, that when struck well, a club will carry a certain distance really is essential to improving your scores. Now I appreciate that mid-to-high handicappers struggle with consistency, especially if you're new to golf and your handicap is coming tumbling down because you are working on your technique, but what I’m talking about here is finding your ‘average’ distance with each club you hit.
