Selecting the right wood is important when playing from a poor fairway lie A common error in judg- ment made by far too many golfersis the use of a 3-wood off the fairway when they don't have a good lie. The result is usu- ally either a topped shot or the loss of several yards. It takes a golfer who's quite experienced and YE RAS 1 MINA rs ONT skilled to hit a 3-wood from a poor lie on the fair- way. The average player would be far better off us- ing a 4 or 5-wood with more loft, a smaller head and a shorter shaft, which makes it easier to control.
