When I play executive, I only use 2 clubs. Putter and wedge. And with both, I’m always estimating how much power to use. ANY less than full swing. If that’s not a skill…?

If you're only using 2 clubs, you don't need to know the distance.
I'm using 14 Clubs and I know a "Stock 8 Iron" is 148 yards. Hard 8 is 152. 3/4 I8 is 142. I don't care what it looks like, I want to know a number. Which per the USGA, is public information.
Estimating how hard to swing, isn't measuring distance.
