Holy Pole ies....
A new personal record for me today. Out of about 70 balls at the range today, 5 pole-ies - including three in a row (never done that before).
54 deg wedge 3/4 swing to 100 yard pin sitting on an upside down bowl 'green' about 10 yards wide.
Thanks for the review of alignments at Henrico Lynn -

That is just plain awesome! After the 3 in a row the wind probably changed directions by a degree.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

3 Polies in a Row from 100???!!!! I suspect that may be more than just YOUR personal record! Incredible!

That must have been it! 
Actually, the thing that really amazed me about the three in a row was that there really was a wind blowing. Nothing strong, but about 1/2 club worth.
Now if I can just get that putter going......

I remember you said recently that you were working on hitting. Did you hit, swing, or both for the polies?

3/4 Swing, from impact fix, for the 3 in a row
one of the others was a hit, the last was a swing

Birds of a Feather
Ed,
I don't care what your sig says about friends.
You love Golf, you love TGM, you love hit'in Polies, you're my friend!
But dang...3 in a row from 100 is somethin else!
Maybe you should start a thread on being "In the EdZone". That is amazing!
