Having got my driver fixed (big thumbs up here to the Benross workshop for customer service) I was on the range on Sunday warming up for a round when with the last little pitch of the warm up the wedge snapped in two.
Ok, first tee got slightly out of position on the dogleg with no shot to the green chipped out and played a sand iron to the green, 2 putts and an ok bogey start.
Second tee, rescue club straight as an arrow to the green, 2 putts, par.
Third tee, first time for the driver, nailed it walked up smiling at the wonderful day
to find I was at PW distance. Even a choked down 9I would run the risk of the crud at the back of the green so played a SI but instead of just leaving it short and chipping I leant on it and chunked it into a ditch walked off with a 7.
From then on I was constantly having to manufacture shots and failing.
On reflection I should have played everything short to say 8-9 distance but it so much easier to use your brain in hindsight and for once I was swinging the driver well so was reluctant to leave it in the bag. More fool me.
So back to the question, apart from the putter, if you had a club taken away on the walk to the first which would you least like to lose?
