Some of it is dependent on your technique and how firm, soft, or tight the course you're playing is, but I'd generally lean toward your 54 being the around the greens/chipping club.
It's easier to make better contact with lower lofted wedges, and 58 is getting close to lob wedge territory where your only option is to go high.
As an aside, if you feel like your gapping is off and it also makes sense to add or remove bounce, having someone bend a wedge will take proportionally more or less bounce off. For example, bending your 58 to a 57 would also turn your 10 degrees of bounce into 9. Just another option.

re: Ok. Jeff Landry gets a pass

My problem with Landry was not running the bus over Woodward. My problem was it was clearly political theater because Woodward IMO was a lame duck AD. You pay a coach that money that Kelly got in a long term contract in the most important sport at a school and the guy fails at the job. You are D.E.A.D. in keeping your own job.
Not to mention, Landry couldn't have been more wrong in what he was spouting... Taxpayers have never been on the hook for an LSU coach's salary, and there is no world in which the incentive-based contract he was pining for was going to get a coach worthy of the LSU job to campus, especially Kiffin.
Giving Landry roses after this is hilarious.
They've played some bad teams recently where they've gotten up so quickly with the help of elite defense/ST that there was no reason to air it out.
Basically the other side of the coin of the Bengals the last 2 years where their only chance to win is to turn it into a shootout, resulting in a Fantasy points goldmine.

Never more than 3 losses in a season
Since 2000 which is basically the beginning of the golden era of LSU, we've averaged more than 3 losses per season (3.3 to be exact), and most of this was before all of Texas, Oklahoma, and A&M entered the SEC and the transfer portal/NIL hampered our in-state recruiting advantage.
Might want to rethink this line in particular, because this is why people say LSU fans have unrealistic expectations.

You could be right, I haven't heard much from him since local and national sports analysts started talking about how LSU was no longer a top-5 job anymore because of the governor.

I can agree with that if they were really coming after football. But if there is evidence that football can be fricked what’s to stop it from happening now
Just felt like wrong move I loved that guy
They were trying to nail LSU for lack of institutional control, which would involve sports beyond just basketball and used football as an additional bargaining chip. And once you open up an investigation into football, you never know what they might find. Receipt from when a staffer paid thought it was legal for him to pay for Joe Burrow's lunch in 2017, but actually wasn't? Let's vacate all their wins in 2018 and 2019 then for impermissable benefits, etc. etc.
I liked Wade too, just not at the expense of LSU football.

I actually think Jeff Landry is the reason Lane is coming.
You're a dumbass then. Lane is coming solely because LSU is paying top-dollar and is a top-5 job in the country with a fertile recruiting base, and because his mentor Saban told him as much.
If anything, Jeff Landry did his best to nuke this process by opening his mouth without doing his homework on every sports talk show he could get on.

Other blue blood coaches
We're not a basketball blue blood, and as such, the NCAA was looking to make an example out of us. Wade was literally caught on tape, not hearsay like some of the other coaches. The rest of it is just hindsight being 20/20.
If the football program was handed down even more sanctions or postseason bans because of findings as a result of increased scrutiny from the Wade stuff, the fanbase would've really lost their mind, myself included. Firing Wade at the time was the right move given the information we had to go off of.

There is a lot more to running a program than just the contracts . Woodward had his way and his thoughts the board and boosters had others .
Sure seemed like Woodward had a good relationship with the boosters considering the amount of $$ he was able to consistently fundraise.

HOWEVER remember he did run Will Wade off. People really didn’t like that move
I've never understood the anger over this. He did so to try to protect the football program at the time, which is the sport that most ranters say is the only one that matters because it pays the bills. The other fans that point to the Wade firing as a strike against Woodward refuse to acknowledge the Baseball and Women's Basketball national championship successes. None of it is logical.
The good news is that the stadium on Saturday night will largely be filled up with real fans as opposed to the ones who only started watching after we won a natty. That gives me hope.

Put me on record for no.
He's a creative offensive mind who also makes bonehead decisions in big moments, and is a personal disaster and troll off the field. Perfect for an underdog program like Ole Miss to raise their ceiling, but give me someone with more stability, discipline, and toughness for LSU, for far less as well.

It's easily one of my favorite courses I've played. Super underrated. Glad it's still in good shape.

City Park is currently as good as you can expect City Park to ever be. They're medium speed, a little bumpy in spots thanks to hardly anyone fixing ball marks, and #7 still looking like a fun-house mirror.
That being said, really solid for City Park though. Even #5 is in good shape.

Only one I'd differ with you on is DOD King. I understand this character he plays can be off-putting, but he's a class act. He was nothing but positive and supportive as a teammate.
I debated leaving him off this list but the character he chose is just too off-putting for my liking. Carter sounds like a great guy otherwise though.
Edit: you're right, taking him off.

Sure did. I wonder if Mo will be asked to leave Good Good.
I doubt it because it's technically inconclusive from everything I've seen and he's still a good watch, although there sure was a hell of a lot of smoke. Speaking of...
Big winners for their brand:
Dalke, Bryan bros, Peter Finch, Bob, Coldcuts, Fat Perez / Trent Ryan dreamcart, Bubbie, Beef (RIP), Daltoosh, Nadeshot, Gruden, The Duke, Roger Steele, Chaz, Ryan Whitney, Francis, Frankie, Santino, PFT, Gabby Golf Girl
I now think less of them than I did before:
Kwon, Mo, Paige, Micah, Berkshire
Everyone else more or less was fine, except Portnoy who came off as a total dick, but played the villain/antagonizer card to perfection and put on an incredibly entertaining event. You can say a lot about him personally, but the man knows content.

I keep going back and forth on what I’d like to see for next years tournament on the caliber of player. Do you have good to great golfers across the board or do you mix in the duke’s and Josh Richard’s to keep alt shot interesting?
The Duke was hysterical. I hope they bring him back. Josh Richards was boring af though.
In my opinion though, part of what made this series so great was the crazy differences in skill levels between the top and the bottom which translates to more strategy involved, and more emotion with a big upset and large personalities. It also gives you a great frame of reference for how good the borderline pros in the series are.

I agree. I am only saying inconclusive because I could never see anything that was 100% proof and not circumstantial. His movement of the rocks with the ball shifting and Bubbie calling it and not him, them saying to look out for Paige and him, etc.. Makes sense it's drama. But still nothing slam dunk to me.
Yeah I hear ya. Technically it's inconclusive, but it gives me vietnam-style flashbacks to CFB rulings where the play stood because of "inconclusive evidence". PP7 caught that interception and had a foot in bounds dammit! :lol:
