I am doing some prep for the round Thursday, and I am wondering if I should just play my irons the first time out and park my driver? My irons are pretty solid, and I don't think I will have too many penalties using them, versus my driver, which could get ugly. It would basically be a bogey plan.
I feel pretty solid from my SW to my 5 iron, and even my 4i is not that sporadic on the range (I know, not the same). I am thinking I'd go 5i off the tee, just to keep it in play, leaving me a mid iron to the green in many cases. The thought of racking up a lot of penalty strokes doesn't sound that appealing, and I think with a few more range sessions I might be able to get it under control. I don't have any hybrids, and my fairway woods are nowhere near ready for prime time. So I am thinking irons only first time out.
Do you guys think this is a good plan?
