ROTFL!...So, have you ever played any golf course where every lie is 90�/180� anywhere? Nope. And neither have I. Yet the custom clubfitter's "bible" says that dynamic lie testing is the best way to go. I certainly agree - we must start somewhere. However, I have yet to find a course where all lies are flat and square.
The first event of the RSG season in the northeast is in Pittsburgh. One of the courses we play doesn't have a flat lie on the whole front nine, and maybe three on the back. I remember playing this course with a first-timer once, and he commented on this. On the spur of the moment, I told him that the Pennsylvania state better-ball championship had been held here two years previous -- and the winners were a pair of guys each of whom had one leg shorter than the other. One had a short right leg, and the other a short left leg; that gave them a big advantage here.
And he believed me.
Sometimes I think the right set of irons for that course is all the same loft, and lies at 1* intervals. ;>
