What do you hit from 100 yards out? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing their strategy from 100 yards out. WRXer ‘edapp’ has been having trouble from this range and kicks off the thread saying:
“I have been absolutely struggling on my approach shots lately…. tried a few different things from full wedges to partial pitching wedges etc. Can’t seem to get on the green from this otherwise very desirable distance. What are you hitting from 80, 100, 120 out?”
And our members have been sharing their optimal club from this distance in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- ballzo: “Kinda depends for 100yrd to flag, pin the back, I might hit a soft GW hoping it runs a bit more. Pin the front; I’d probably hit a full SW, hoping it sticks or spin back some.”
- dfeldss: “Generally a 52 or 56, depending. I could get after a 60 and get it there, but I pretty much never take a full swing with a wedge in my hands.”
- Haber: “If the pin is back, It’s a 58 full send lob wedge. If it’s front or middle, it’s a knockdown 54.”
- TheBiles: “3/4 pitching wedge. Smooth and easy. I never full swing my wedges.”

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

I prefer to thin a 56 degree across the green into a hazard or off a hill. Then I walk down there and try some miracle shot and apparently I’ve ran out of miracles. Thoroughly pissed off I just leave.

100 yds? It depends on the hole, but typically it’s a fat approach wedge, followed up with a shanked sand wedge, then a skulled sand wedge across the green, a flopodopolous lob wedge to the fringe, and finally the putter from the fringe.
