Re: Skulling irons....
Take a piece of chalk to the range. Draw a line toward your 7i target-- and a cross line where you will place balls. Then work to hit the ball while removing NO chalk behind the ball (fat shots) and a few inches of chalk on the target line in front of the ball. This is very very good practice.
BTW, do what Harvey Penick had his golf teams do-- hit 90% 8 or 7i. Only occasionally hit driver or 3w, etc. The idea is to bring your medium iron swing to all your clubs--NOT visa versa.
After several dozen 8i shots in a row you should be able to hit them 10 in a row crisp and drop the ball on or near a target 10 out of 10 balls. This is the "skills" distance. If you can't hit greens from 140 out, you have no chance of scoring below 85 or so.
