heard a piece of advice "drive your pitch shots and putt your chips". so the woods head will get it through the thicker grass better than an iron would?

yes, the head allows the club to "slide" through the grass which could tangle up a wedge and cause an inconsistent face contact. hold it a bit lower on the grip and use small stroke, as you would imagine the ROI in using a wood means the ball will move fast.

never tried chipping with 3/5 woods. maybe i will try that next time. i have had success rolling it up if there are no obstructions with my 9 iron. holed out for par last round it was sweet. i just have to concentrate on accelerating through the ball on chips. yea I'm talking about the first cut of rough (secondary cut) just past the fringe, trying to get better from there.

It was a great day, perfect weather, and great experience all around. I had been to the US Men's Open in 2007 and the Women's Open in 2010, but this was as just as fun as the others that I went to. Here's some pics that I snapped.

The greens were absolutely insane this year... you could see the frustration with the players as their shots rolled way back off the greens

I just installed "The Grint" golf app. Says my handicap is 20.3 whereas the foursum app has it at 16.8.... weird.

Soaking wet and muddy, but it was a fun but long day at the PGA Championship. We were on site from 8 am to 6 pm and decided to beat the crowds home. We walked 8 miles throughout the day and saw all the big names. Pics are below.

damn, their R&D place, "The Oven" is on the west side of Fort Worth here. very inconspicuous little place, but Tiger and Rory could be seen on the private driving range testing stuff apparently.
