I assume you still have a putter so putt, putt and putt some more.

I played the last 4 holes of a round last year including a 156 yard par 3 (that I hit in regulation) with nothing but a 5W and a putter because I was mad at my irons.

A couple of years ago one of my playing partners played the entire round with a hybrid he was trying out and a putter (just for the heck of it). He shot 2 over par.

Of course he can hit a hybrid as far as most fairly long hitters can hit a driver.

I played a round with my old clubs... They are 4° flat and a halk inch shorter than standard with whippy shafts. They also are about 15-20 yards shorter than any other iron I have used in the last 5 years... They also left shots to the right about 20 yards consistently... I guess it is time for a golf break.

Take a vacation from golf. Use the time you normally devote to practicing and playing to do something else you've always wanted to try.

I think I will just catch up around the house. I have been playing golf instead of working on things like I should. I need to work on some drills anyway.

Go to the gym and work out. This will add even more yardage to your new clubs. Upset your playing partners when they have to buy you lunch all the time.

I only see an upside...

So I picked up my new irons... They are really, really (really) nice. I think I fell in love with my 3 iron from the start... I will do a review later.

Did I mention that they are really nice?

But we've been told over and over (not here on the TST) how amateurs are supposed to get rid of 3 and 4 irons because we can't hit them well.  Be careful you aren't setting yourself up for emotional anguish... :mad:

Just kidding.. congrats on the new sticks! :dance:

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
