Tee game for sure. Not hitting good tee shots turns birdies into pars and pars into bogeys really fast and the scores get elevated real quick.

If my short game is off I will not be able to go low.
Irons. I'm solid enough with my driver, but I need to hit the green when I'm in the FW.
100% Chipping/pitching. I rely on those shots to put me in a good position for birdie (but more often for par). If they aren't working, the strokes add up too fast!
I can make due if Driver isn't working. I can make due if long irons/hybrids/woods aren't. But inside 125 is where I gain or lose the majority of my shots.
I'd say my short game for the most part.
But it this begs another question for me, I can really start to struggle with my driver and that kills me so... When do you guys give up on the driver during a round to tee off with a wood or hybrid? Is it after a few bad drivers? Or more? I am really struggling with making that mental decision mid round.
Some like me have given up on the driver for good. As good as the fairway wood options are these days it may be worth the time to look into a permanent replacement. Or try out a driver head with a fairway wood length shaft. Or a mini driver.
But your question comes with an assumption. Can you find the fairway consistently with a fairway wood or hybrid? If that answer in no then you are killing yourself two ways. Loss of distance is okay if it comes with a gain in accuracy.
