I played yesterday on the was up to my lake place. I have been spraying both ways with the driver, so I didn't even bring it on the course.
Despite some horrible putting, I hit a lot (for me) of fairways (8) and only had one really bad tee shot (on a par 3) that got wet. Other than that, no penalties or lost in the fescue grass tee shots, despite some big wind. Fairway or first cut.
My score was better than average despite an 8 on a par 5 that involved a second shot shank into fescue, a hack out to the fairway, then an approach that would've been perfect if it went ten more feet, but, instead, caught a huge wind gust that ballooned it and it went swimming.
We played the second from the back tees, 6391 yards, and I shot a 93 on a course I'm usually high 90's on while hitting mainly 7-wood nice and straight off the tee box.
Thumper Pond today, where straight really is long. I'm gonna go driverless all weekend and see how it plays out.
