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

I can chip and drive as well... Lots of range time...

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 bet your wife loves it when you are mad...

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:

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
