hi swingball
one thing i think it does playing mid to high iron off the tee is it make you think more about the shots after the drive, like if its a par 4 420 and you hit say a 5 iron 160 and another 5 iron with wedge to the green and two putts. or you could your second with a 8 iron and then another 8 iron and your not really have to hit hard just steady, and play to the handicap,take the free shot into the count before you start the hole, if its a par 4 and you get a shot then say its a par 5 think of it like that and it plays so much easer, its the same if you play of only 6 then think of the holes you get a shot, there the harder holes and talk the shot into your mind before yo play think of it as an easy par 5 and not a par 4 that you get a shot at.
