The guy I mentioned usually sticks the chip to dustbin lid range and rarely 2 putts.
It gives me hope for my senior years while sickening me when I'm trying to play "proper" golf shots and mostly getting hammered by him.

12° and a whippy shaft.
Give it a go and see what happens.
But then you would need a "real" driver in the bag as well.

If a 12 deg club counts as a driver, I hit mine all the time...

I had a driver and a 2-wood in the bag yesterday. And a 4-wood and a 6-wood. Irons 3-SW.

OMP's golf is easier on the eye. The number of times he hears, "Ffs that's not even a golf shot", when he has driver in hand makes him more similar to Barlow; disgusting to watch but somehow effective.Is he OMP from Golf Mates??

One of my favourite shots, especially into wind and or on firm fairways. Just don't hit it fat, but thin is fine, and allow for a bit of left to right.. Not as much carry as my three wood, but plenty of run.

This thread inspired me to try it for the first time today.
In a 4BBB match, hit my my tee shot OB, so being 3 off the tee with nothing to lose, tried driver for the next shot.
Topped it about 100 yards.
Don't think I'll try it again

Social golf yes.
Comp golf no.
It’s not easy with modern drivers, but my Persimmon driver was easy.

I've given it a shot a few times. It’s a whole different ball game hitting off the deck. When it goes well, it’s awesome—those low, piercing shots really roll out. But, I’ve also had some rough ones where I just didn’t get the contact right. If you’re solid with your fairway woods, it might be better to stick with them, but it’s definitely worth a try if you’re up for experimenting.

I'm guessing he was hitting his 4th shot

Yes. Sorry that I didn't make that clear.
Second tee shot ended in the first cut, so I tried driver from there just for fun.
Tried it, doesn't work for me
