Hence instead of a tentative swing with the driver, use a long irong and swing with confidence. Sound advice...I think. But will your ego let you do this ?

I have been golfing for 5 years now. I just bought my first driver. If the Par 4 hole is 400 yds or less, I use a 3 iron to Tee off which gives me about 220 yards or my 3 wood which gives me about 240-250 yards. I am learning to play the course rather than just hit the driver. It is very hard to do, since the other golfers in my group will be using drivers. But then I chuckle to myself when they go in the rough.
