Amy Boulden Tips: Should I use a rescue or 3 iron?
Ladies European Tour Professional Amy Boulden uses both a 3 iron rescue and a traditional 3 iron, which she changes depending on the course and condition.
With a windy links course she is more likely to use a 3 iron; for a parkland, tree-lined course, more likely a rescue club.
A rescue is very forgiving, which means it is very easy to hit out of the rough. It has an open face and is much easier to hit.
