Iron Distance ...... Learning how far?

Just find a flat spot that you can measure. It could be the 150 marker to the middle of the green or a sprinkler head in the fairway to another marker down the fairway and just hit a few balls. The best way to do it is by taking the average of all the balls. If you have a GPS it is most accurate but you can easily walk off yardages and have them be very close. I found mine by using a simulator by my house so I had it easy.

Be sure to do averages though because sometimes you may hit it solid and it could give you a false number. For example: My 6 iron goes about 185 but I hit it off the tee on a whole once with a very slight tail wind and I hit it flush and it flew 200 and rolled out to 211. I count count on one hand the number of times I have hit a 6 iron 200 yards because it means I tried to kill it and I hit it REALLY solid. Again, this is my average. Do this and you will have a very effective number.

Hey,

in answer to this question, Iron Distance ...... Learning how far?, I can tell you that this site http://onlinecollegesfaqs.net/ might help you in your situation

As you asked; "What is the best way (besides going to the range) to figure out how far you hit each of your irons? I have been the range, but they keep moving the hitting area and not moving the distance poles so I don't get a good idea of how far I'm hitting." I hope it may help you.

Best of Luck :)

Most beginners lack an understanding of how important the basic fundamentals are to playing golf. The basics include grip, alignment, posture, ball placement between the feet, and weight placement. From there, you need to learn how to turn away from the ball properly(Shoulder turn) as you draw the club back. Play short irons mid stance, mid irons one ball forward of mid stance, long irons two balls forward of mid stance, fairway woods same as long irons or a bit more forward and the driver is played just on the front heel. Weight shift is important as is hip turn. These not only get you into to the right position to deliver the hit, but, they help create the force to launch the ball. Your troubles may be playing the ball towards the back foot and you get very little shoulder turn back or through the ball. Mostly an arm swing with active hands and an incorrect weight shift. If you want to learn quicker, go to your nearest book store and search for a book that gives step by step instruction along with color photos. Mimic those moves. Follow the directions. Be patient, it takes time to develop the feel. Good luck.

If you can get your hands on a range finder it is pretty easy to figure out your distances. If you can get a laser rangefinder, you just shoot the target at the driving range and get your distances that way. If you have a GPS rangefinder, they usually have a feature that you can use to tell how far a shot went. You can use it on the course or any open area where it is safe to hit golf balls.

Iron Yardage

Go out on the course and hit several balls with different irons from the 150 yard marker into the green.

Once you know what club you can hit 150 you can work it out from there.

Alternatively just keep playing with trial and error... eventually experience will teach you!

Hope this helps!

Go to your local golf store and see if they have one of those golf simulators. You can get an idea how far you hit each club on it. If that's not an option, try a different driving range. Where I live, there are multiple options as far as ranges go so hopefully it's the same where you live.
