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.
Amy Boulden: A bio
Amy has been a well known name since the age of 15 when in 2008 she won the BBC Young Sportswomen of the year award. After turning Pro in 2013, she enjoyed a successful rookie year in 2014, accumulating six top-25 finishes that included four top-10’s as well as three top-5 finishes. Back-to-back top 5 finishes at the German Open and Sherbank Masters saw the young Welsh star pick up over $27,000. Her success was not overlooked and her season was capped by winning the coveted LET Rookie of the year crown.
Amy followed her rookie success with a solid 2015 season. A 4th place finish at the Buick Championship was followed up with an 8th place finish at the Scottish Open.
A 9th place finish at the RICOH British Open saw Amy collect over $60,000 and a very respectable top-10 finish in only her third Open.
Amy is a brand ambassador for Mizuno and Rohnisch sportswear.
