Non conforming clubs still count towards the maximum number. But to the OP, the maximum penalty is a match adjustment of two holes in match play, or a maximum of four strokes (the general penalty applied to the first two holes) in stroke play. Its entirely possible you would have come out ahead even if the penalties had been applied. -

Day 68 (8 Jul 25) - Took grandson and the Mrs for an easy nine today. She only wanted her driver, 7i and putter, so I trimmed my bag back to accommodate. Had a blast watching her shake the rust off and hit some nice drives, approaches and roll putts. Got her to use my 7w for those par 5 second shots - she used it well. Grandson was on his game as well. For me it was about course management and working from yardages and positions I don’t usually play - with fewer options to get back in play. Love mixing it up like this - makes me think and not just boringly do. -

During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16. Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17. In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. -

My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve. I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours. I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops. I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
