Men like myself always wanna pull out the big gun and smoke one down the middle, theres nothing like it I admit. But theres also nothing like setting yourself up with a very solid shot and leaving a possiblity for a solid par by playing percentages. Personally I go from week to week playing either the 3 wood or driver off tee, depending on which club is more compatable with my swing that day. When im "on" with either club its a beautiful thing to see. My advice....go to the range briefly before you play and see how well your hitting those
clubs and that will almost always tell you which one to go with. Its hard to get rid of the ego but Ive been in more than one situation where im the only one hitting a 3 wood or even a comfortable iron off the tee, theres nothing wrong with it! And guess what, Im killing it right down the middle of the fairway while theyre usually looking for theyre ball. Its called course management. Hope this helps, try it.
