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 33 (13 Dec 25) - Worked on weight shift and resetting the left heel during downswing (after listening to a discussion on Golf School this morning on PGA Tour Radio).  It centered on how Jack Nicklaus lifted his lead heel and how long driver champs do as well.  Taking cues from that discussion, worked an exaggerated feel of the left heel working doing some swing drill in the backyard using the 7i.  Wrapped up the session by hitting a few low bump and run shots in the backyard - keeping the process slow and exaggerated.  
    • Day 123 12-13 Rotation and getting to lead side work. Recorded face on. Hit a few foam balls but did plenty of rehearsals today.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
