On the PGA Tour, your iron play in the 175'ish yard range is a very important distance.
If you want to be a top tier player, being a solid iron player at this distance goes a LONG way to getting you there.
So what does it take to be top tier from that 175'ish yard range? Is there a big difference between the best players on the PGA Tour and those that are struggling to keep their card?
Nope. Not at all. The margins between the best and the ones way down the money list are razor thin.
The table below shows the differences between these groups across several stats. You can see just how tight the margins are. These are not huge differences in performance.
For us weekend warriors, we will never perform at this level or proficiency from 175 yards.
Our goal from this distance should be to:
- avoid penalty strokes
- hit the ball relatively solid, advancing it *somewhere* near the green
🚨#NEW: The WSJ is reporting that PGA TOUR commissioner Jay Monahan told employees at PGAT HQ in Florida that they could no longer afford legal fees in the fight against Saudi Arabia’s Sovereign Wealth Fund and the TOUR had dipped into their reserves to pay for elevated events.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.
