ANWA Set To Go, Rankin Saying Goodbye To Majors And Tiger's Day Trip
Playing down fairways bordered by straight lines of trees is not only unartistic but makes tedious and uninteresting golf. Many green committees ruin one's handiwork by planting trees like rows of soldiers along the borders of the fairways. Alternatively, groups of trees, planted irregularly, create most fascinating golf, and give players many opportunities of showing their skill and judgment in slicing, pulling round, or attempting to loft over them. Some of the most spectacular shots I have ever seen have been around, over or through narrow gaps in trees. ALISTER MACKENZIE

How to Gap Your Golf Bag
Before we dig in, let’s make sure we’re on the same page.
If you’re not familiar with the term, gapping refers to the process of calibrating the yardage differences between each club in your bag. How far do you hit a given club and how far is that from the next one—that sort of thing. The conventional wisdom is that you should have equal or near-equal gaps between all (or at least most) of your clubs.
It’s good advice and this guide should help you put it to good use.
How much distance should I have between clubs?
We’re painting with broad strokes here but the yardage distance between clubs, called the “gap”, should be between 10 and 15 yards. One degree of loft typically works out to about three yards of carry distance so, if you have four degrees of loft between clubs, a 12-yard gap is a solid target.
With that said, the gap doesn’t need to be exactly 12 yards throughout the bag. There are situations where it can make sense to widen some gaps, shrink others or even ignore them. More on that below.
