The executive course I belong to I typically carry under 8 clubs. It's got 1 par 4 at 330ish yards, everything else is Par 3 under 180. I forgot my walking bag one day and carried out 7i, 50*, and putter with 3 balls in my pocket. The guy I got paired with told me I was supposed to have my own bag but said he wouldn't tell because I seemed nice... By the end of the round, I shot 6 over while he was +15, he was asking me for any tip I could think of lol. The guy had a cart, full leather cart bag and took 5+ practice swings on each shot. I walk this place in under an hour usually, we were out over two. My parting tip was "get out of your own head and have fun". The guy laughed and we hung out in the shop for 30 minutes and had dinner.

Sometimes I even leave all woods, hybrids, driver out of the bag and carry only irons, wedges, and a putter and tee of from a closer tee box.

In all honesty and in my opinion, none of us that are over a 10 HC should be making the course more challenging, especially on purpose. The course proves to be challenging enough, even on my best days, and I've fluctuated from an 8 to a 10.

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
