  Well, this is about the 10th time I entered an open and single play game and had to quit because i`ll play ctth first without my driver and use another wedge .Then I enter an open or single play and tee off and find out that I have no Driver. There is no way you can switch clubs after you start a game? P.S. I always warm up on CTTH before I play stroke play.

  LOL-I thought I was the only one. Oakmont CTTH doesn't need a driver so I carry 5 wedges. Try playing a Match Play game after forgetting to put the driver back in!! OIY-teeing off with a 2i the whole round!

   

   

  *edit* Meant 3i

  It would be a challenge but when you do that try playing with your 3 wood off tee if you have one in the bag that is.

  It happened to me on Beth. With no driver or 3 wood I was mighty delighted to have the 5 wedges...

  I did discover something interesting during my round. It was at SA and I use the TMs there. Because of the short drive you have to play longer irons, irons you normally wouldn't use on most of the holes. 2-3 clubs difference was typical. The greens were actually a bit easier to hold with the low flying, high spinning fairway irons. I was surprised to the point I'm going to try laying up on a few just to see if using the longer irons really makes a difference.

  I can't control my drives (in real golf) as well as my 3, so I seldom use a driver when I play. Makes for a longer approach on holes but only the longer holes and par 5s give me trouble.
