Just signing off of on my round from yesterday on Shotscope so looking at tee shots. I knew I was having a bad day off the tee with driver anyway and stopped hitting it at all after hole 11. Here are a few examples. (note, this course has a lot of holes that are less than driver holes)
Hole 4 felt like I hit this one pretty decent. Left it in the trees on the right trying to fade one around the dogleg.
Hole 5 Made decent contact here to only hit it 223? yes it was into wind, but not a huge wind - splashed it in the fairway bunker on the right side of the fairway
Hole 7 par 5 downwind, darn near shanked it right
Hole 8. Pulled first drive OB into a back yard, felt like I absolutely smoked the second to only get 235 yards out of it
Hole 9 - downwind, smoked this one - only driver shot all day that found the fairway
Hole 10 - tried to go over the trees on the edge of a dogleg, hit it really poorly left it in the trees on the right
At this point I was frustrated with driver and witched to 3w the rest of the day
11 - center of the fairway
Hole 12 - have to play to a position here but coppied it for the distance
Hole 15 - kind oc crescent shaped hole that bends to the right the whole way. Hit a tree limb and dropped straight down. Worst shot with the 3w
Hole 18 - smoked this 3w
Even the bad 3w hits left me in better playing position than the bad drivers. The 2 well hit 3w shots went every bit as far as even the best hit drivers of the day. Why do I even bother with a driver!?! I think I might try to put the mini-driver back in the bag for a few rounds soon.
