Determine Club Carry Distance to Score Better
Today we are talking about a method to determine the exact carry of each one of your clubs. It is very important to know carry distance. If I am hitting over a bunker or water hazard, I need to know where the ball is going to land. Below is a method to determine club carry distance.
The first thing I need to do is determine the distance to a known target. On the cart, the GPS will tell you the distance, but the distance GPS is measuring is frequently inaccurate and should be compared against course markers. However, course markers generally measure to the center of the green, not the hole. My choice for accurate measurement is a range finder. The range finder will give the accurate distance to exactly where the pin is placed today. This is what I need to know to determine carry distance. The exact distance to my target determined by the laser is 66. My cart GPS said 70, it was off by 4 yards (94% accurate).
Now that I know the exact distance to my target is 66 yards, I will take my 60-degree wedge and 5 -10 balls. I will hit the balls to my target and see where they land on the green. I use my normal swing. Once I am done hitting all the balls, I go to the green to measure where they actually land.
I place tees in the ground indicating where the ball landed by their pitch mark on the green. Next, I step off and see how far the balls really roll out. On this particular green with my 60-degree wedge they did not roll much, between 3 and 6 yards. Now I know the carry distance on my 60-degree wedge is 75 yards and the balls roll out somewhere between 3 and 6 yards.
I have determined the carry and roll out distance on my 60-degree wedge. I will want to do this with each one of my clubs. Then I will know which club to hit into the green.
The carry distance is the yardage from the point of impact to the point of landing. Tip: Go to the driving range once a month or so and hit five – ten golf balls with each club to track off the distances you achieve with each club.

Size
There are five sizes of golf club grips commonly available for purchase. Although you may find some others, most golfers use one of these.
- Junior: This size golf club grip doesn’t have a specific diameter, but it has the smallest diameter of all the grips. It’s made primarily for children’s golf clubs. Most junior grips are shorter than grips made for adult players.
- Undersize: An undersize grip is just a little bit smaller than a standard grip. It measures 0.56 or 0.57 inch in diameter.
- Standard: Quite a few golfers use the standard grip, which measures 0.58 to 0.60 inch in diameter.
- Midsize: A midsize golf grip measures 0.64 to 0.66 inch in diameter.
- Oversize: The oversize golf grip is the largest diameter grip you’ll find, typically measuring 0.70 to 0.72 inch in diameter.
- Finding the right size: Playing with the wrong size of grip could cost you strokes on the course. Finding the right size for your needs isn’t difficult, however. Start by figuring out what size golf glove you wear. Most women, juniors, and men who wear small gloves use undersize or junior grips. People who wear medium or large gloves need a standard grip. Those wearing extra-large gloves will want a midsize or oversize grip.
When shopping for a new set of golf club grips, pay attention their size. With the right choice here, you’ll have a better chance of success with your game.
- Some players like having an extra-thick grip on the putter. It can help the golfer maintain straight wrists through the putting stroke.
- Some golf grips have a squarish rather than rounded shape. This shape helps golfers align their hands properly.

How To Use A Golf RangeFinder
May 21, 2019
Over the past few years golfers have suddenly started to realise that learning how to use a Golf RangeFinder will help them to significantly improve their accuracy and scoring out on the course, this is why they have become an essential part of a golfers armoury.
Especially when you consider that there has been a recent change in golf rules, which now allows players to use golf range finders in tournament play (under local rule), as long as they are designed for obtaining distance measurements only.
Although there are lots of manufacturers out there providing many different designs and styles to choose from, learning how to use a golf range finder is fairly straight forward as they all tend to produce golf range finders that operate in a very similar way, with a power button to turn the device on and capture distance readings and a mode button to change the settings.
Before you tee off you should make sure that your rangefinder is set up to your liking. Turn it on using the power button and then look through the viewfinder and use the mode button to update the settings by toggling through the various options.
Most Golf Range Finders will allow you to select either yards or meters as your preferred measurements and some will have additional options for lighting conditions and reticle settings, etc. Once you are happy with the settings it is also important to adjust the eyepiece so that it is in focus and wont put any unnecessary strain on your eyes during your round.
Now that you are ready to go, you will find that using it on the course is very simple. All you need to do is look through the viewfinder and aim it at your intended target, and once your target is in the centre of the crosshairs press the power button to get your distance reading.
Most of the latest golf range finders will also offer you an option to scan around the hole for a period of time and gather a continuous display of distance readings for the targets that you scan over. This feature is normally activated by keeping your finger pressed down on the power button and can really help you to get a better feeling for the hole by showing you whether you can carry or reach potential hazards such as bunkers or lakes.
Although Golf Range Finders are great tools in their own right and will provide you with all of the necessary distance measurements you need to improve your scoring, it is also useful to utilize the yardage markers on the course as well, as these will give you distances to the centre of the greens, which can help you to figure out whether the pin is located near the front, middle or back of the green!
With so many options out there, finding the Best Golf RangeFinder for your game can be a tricky task. Learn all about the latest golf rangefinders to hit the market and find out where you can get the Best Deals & Lowest Prices.
