Re: how my game is going since i ditched the driver

I haven't completely ditched my driver but I hit a lot of 3 and 5 woods off the tee. Most of your average courses don't require that you hit a driver off the tee so I try to take advantage of controlling my shots better. But there are some wide open holes on which I pull out the driver.

Re: how my game is going since i ditched the driver

I've done the opposite and ditched my 3 wood. Scoring alot better on the par 5s, even got on a green in two using my 3I hybrid. There are holes that I should just hit that baby instead of booming the driver.

Re: how my game is going since i ditched the driver

The title of this post "speaks" to me on so many levels...

My Driver issues are well documented in these threads and I'm here to say that I seem to have put them behind me, for the time being....

No longer do I fear grabbing it when I know it is the right club to hit...

My choices in selecting which club to take from the tee at my home track have become reasonably settled and I now only take the driver out on 4 or 5 holes a round, if that. And the first hole that I can reasonably hit it, even if I wanted to is our 7th, so by that time, I'm well and truly warmed up. There is no question in taking it earlier as the landing areas for me with driver on the early holes are too risky should I spray it.

Now, I am looking to replace my Driver. My Taylor Made Bubble Burner has served its purpose, and now I need to update the club. Will be looking in the pro shop bargain bins at every course I visit in the future and hopefully a pre loved gem will present itself...

Cheers
