Played same course, par 71, 6247 yds. Which is pretty long for me 'cause I hit irons off the tee atm.

Yes sir! Let's play next time I'm in town imo.

[Clarkmeister]

For sure

Friday's round is best exemplified thus:
Out: Par-Par-Par-Bogey-Par-Par- +5 - Birdie-Birdie
In: Par-Par-Double-Double-Bogey-Triple-Birdie-Par

I'd like to think the back nine breakdown was due to realizing my bar exam results would be posted in two hours. The ten was just poor course management. Tee shot in a lateral hazard. Belief I could hit my next shot over the trees/hazard to get close. Hitting that shot into the hazard. Having to chip out. That chip out going behind a tree. Poor approach. Etc.

What irons do you guys hit off the tee?

Anyone here hit a one-iron? Do they still even make one-irons? My father spent many, many years unable to hit woods of any kind, but he was very accurate and reasonably long with a one-iron. He doesn't use it anymore, but he's still the only person I've known who used it exclusively.

I am legendarily good with my 3-iron off the tee. To the same degree I am almost as shaky with my driver. In big tournaments I have been known to ditch the driver almost completely in favor of the 3-iron, since I can usually hit it 240-250 yards (understand that the slightly high elevation in Phoenix helps inflate that number a bit).

Edit to add: I recently started using a 15* hybrid club that goes even farther that may be an even better solution from now on. I think my driver problems are in my head.

I use a 1 iron. I can't hit a fairway wood to save my life and even hybrids are iffy. I can get about 220 (240 on a good, dry day) out of the 1 iron and use it frequently off the tee when the driver is going who knows where.

[Clarkmeister]

3-iron, about 200.

[tuq]

Clark,

Are you taking the club all the way back? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[Clarkmeister]

Yeah. You see my scores, I'm not very good.

I hit a 7-iron about 150
