So much for new irons!

[haplesshacker]

As some of you are aware, I got some MX300s earlier this year. Now there's nothing wrong with them, in fact they're very good. But last Friday I hardly used them.

Drove with whichever wood I felt comfortable with, bearing in mind distence to hazards etc and then used a wedge to get to the green. Hardly used hundreds of pounds worth of irons!

Admitedly the course I was playing lends itself to this approach or two long ish irons to get to the green. But I was a bit disappointed not to use the new bats much. Oh score, fwiw, 37.

You could always do what I do. Play no woods and hit irons on every hole, sometimes numerous times

Decent stableford return though. Is this your usual track? If not I wouldn't worry

It was the second course at the club. Which I don't play very often.

Did blob quite embarrasinly on two holes though. I just hope I can hold it together for the next two Wednesdays.

hapless....have you been playing at mine?

We only have long and short holes so it's wedge and/or fairway/rescue almost all the time. I'd enjoy hitting the occasional 6 iron or even (dare to wish) a 7 iron!!

I know how you feel. My irons see very little action.

Sounds like my game also......
Im fairly long off the tee....Dont use a driver only a 3 wood and on par 4's im usually a wedge into the greens.....( I dont always hit them though mind.... )

Par 5's if im hitting the ball solid are probably 3 wood and either another 3 wood or maybe 2 wedges if im actually using a bit of grey matter.
