Driving...Getting off the tee box...whether it be a driver, 5 wood, or an iron on a par 3 box, if I don't start the hole out right, I'm in trouble the whole way.  When I score good (par / subpar), I have driven and...

Hate 'em.  Their kinda like ball retrievers, usually left for hacks.  Sorry to offend anyone, but thats just always been my opinion. 

Had 5 birdies and 4 pars on front for 31, proceeded to birdie #10 from 15 feet with the short, 500 yard par 5 11th on deck.  My previous low round was a 68 and all I could think of was how low I was gonna' go.  Promptly...
