[quote=vp27519]LP,


I don't work much on my long game as I am focusing on my short game.

Jamesh, it's a hard one to decide what to do. Like I said, if I could be consisitently straight with the driver, it would be used more often. I'll give your suggestion a go next round.

I took lessons all summer working on my long irons, mostly, and it is my short game that improved the most (except for putting which I spent no time on).

I was reading David Leadbetter, and he remarked that on some courses, where people played with only 3 or 4 clubs they beat the course record for lowest score. LowPost42 nailed it by using the longest club you can hit consistently well.

During my last round I was using my 5 iron/hybrid and 4 iron/hybrid off of the tee. I found that those using their drivers were not able to hit it dramatically farther than me and I was often left with a good lie for my second shot.

Having said that, I will be working on my driver later today. There is a good feeling when you blast a nice drive. Some courses are wide open and errant drives can be recovered from, other times it is foolhardy to use your driver.
