| Re: The Driver
Just an update on golf "without" a wood... Last Saturday I played a s/ford round with only my irons (and a putter) in the bag, having again left the Driver & 3 Wood at home in the shed gathering dust... My score, 36 pts (90 off the stick, my h/cap is 17.5). The low score on the day being 46 points (by a fellow off 17 who had 78), I finished in a tie for 10th place in my club comp. The annoying thing for me is I was 1 over the card through 6 holes (and 18 s/ford points at that time), having found every fairway bar one (the first) and every green in reg (bar the 2nd) and still found a way to simply play to my handicap. This of course means that I only scored another 18 points in the final 12 holes. For me, the positive of the day was the fact that I scored at least 1 point on all 18 holes. No triple bogeys!!! Though I did 3 putt 3 times. If I can remove the 3 putts (a big if) and find a few more fairways, I think a 70 something is not far away... And, for me this is a GREAT thing, as I am still only playing once a fortnight and NOT practising... Course management is a big part of this, as every time I missed a fairway from the tee, I looked to get back in position and didn't go for a "glory" shot. More after my next round in a couple of weeks.... Cheers
