My 4 wood was my favorite club in my bag. I used to blast her and used it off of the tee more so than the driver. In fairness I did get a good bounce, I was playing to lay up but 250-270 was never out of range for me with that club. I carried four wedges from PW down so I only used my driver and my four to be within the rules and I could either lay into it or take a little off for a 220-240 shot.
It was always a bitch for me hitting long irons and I hit my five iron just as far as my three and four so I learned early on how to manipulate my four wood and just took to it. Shaping the ball was not as easy as it was with the irons but it was still my go to. My old Billy Baroo.
LOL I four putted from 18", get it straight. And yes I had a couple before that. It really happened. I just got dizzy and felt pressure that I normally didn't feel. There might have been other grown men yelling NOONAN in the background but that was a normal occurrence, so no excuses there.
