Most of us have one I think... I've heard pros speak of it. The one that puts that favorite club in your hand at a certain yardage... the distance you lay up to on par 5 or short par 4?

Mine currently is 105. Thats a full SW or an easy GW and where I feel comfortable right now.
 
I prefer my 7 iron, which for me is 145-155. I know that seems far, but just feel confident with my 7 iron.
 
Typically on layups, I try to hang to about 105 to put a LW in my hands. My best performing distance would probably be 140-150 though. That puts me with a PW or soft 9 iron which are both great clubs for me.

This year has been an anomaly for me though. My delivery is really off and my wedges have suffered greatly. My shot from the 105 distance is now a knock down SW or Gap wedge. At this point, I don't have a favorite yardage, I hate them all equally!
 
140 for my seven iron, it rarely lets me down.
 
Sand Wedge @ 115-125 or Gap Wedge @128-138....

Also have been fancying a half Sand wedge around 65-85yds
 
Anything from 100 - 140y which can be GW - 8i depending on the conditions.
 
145 for my 8 iron. I have a ton of confidence in that club. 105 with 54* wedge is pretty solid also

Probably 100 yards either a 56 or 52 depending on pin location
 
About 2 inches. I can usually make the putt from that distance.

100 yards is perfect for a smooth 50* wedge for me right now.
 
Give me 130 yards with my 50° all damn day.
 
I would say 100 would be my target but anything between 95-105 is fine.
 
110-130 will be my AW or PW.
 
95 yards with a full 58 degree wedge. Really anything from 90 - 105 (full 54 wedge) is my $ zone.
 
Either 75 yards with my 60 or 95 with my 54.
 
120...nice normal PW

Beat me to it. Since that one is gone, I'll go with 105-110. Just an easy 54.
 
100 with a 50 or 125 with pw.
 
60-70 yards, as long as spin isn't an issue (i.e. sloped green, pin tucked over a hazard, etc.).
 
i like anywhere from 110 to 85. i feel like i have enough shots available to knock it close from there.
 
75-90 yds.........choke down 56* slightly flighted that hits and spins.
 
90 and 100 yards are good numbers for me

120 PW is perfect for me.
 
135 with my 9 iron is my go to distance at the moment.
