Re: Gir

I have to agree with B11's post. I would at the very least, move up to a 3 wood. 200 yard accurate tee shots are fine, but on longer par 4s, you are leaving yourself too long of a second shot into the green. Can you hit your 5w off the the turf 200 yards also?

A 210+ par 3 would present the same problem since you can't reach the green in regulation. Par 5s should not present an issue for you.

You need to get longer off the tee, leaving yourself with 2nd shot distances into the green that you can handle with other clubs in your bag.

If you can't get the distance off the tee you need to reach the geen on your second shot, then a better than average short game is your only answer to scoring well. Quite a few older golfers I know who do not have the distance off the tee anymore score quite well due to their stellar short games. GJS
