I had a society day yesterday and it just so happened to be the course I grew up on, but hadn't played for years. It's the kind of course that historically I'd have just banged driver everywhere and been flicking in with wedges, but I decided to try something a bit different.
I've been watching some videos on youtube by a guy called "Just your average golfer". In one of those he spoke about hitting a club off the tee that you feeling comfortable hitting, rather than one that would get you to your desired distance for example....so yesterday I was teeing off from par 4s and 5s with 8i, 7i 5i etc just to make sure I shouldn't reach any danger (bunkers/water etc), but leaving myself with quite long shots in....which lead to me playing some of the par 4s as 3 shot holes, but I stuck with it.
I struck the ball quite badly all day if I'm honest, but I came in with a +15 (off a 14 hcp) and only hit driver twice and 3i once off the tee.........so have I learnt anything? Well possibly yes, I will give the theory another go and see how pans out.
