Started The Weekend without a driver.

So this is the story I buy a new golf club set on Golfsmith.com it comes in on thursday and I can't wait to try it out. Friday rolls around and I head to the driving range to get a feel for my new clubs. At about my 20th swing I got that unusually light feeling as I watched my club head fly about 95ft out. I call them up and they can do a full refund as long as I send the whole set back in which I can do as late as monday, and I have a tee time tomorrow with a couple buddies from work.

So for my question what should I do?

Should I just go ahead and use a 5 or a 3 wood?

I am a beginner so any advice would be helpful.

See if the course has a driver you can borrow. If not, go with the 3 wood.

Thank you Kyle. I guess it's the level headed unfrustrated approach that made the most sense, didn't even think to ask the course about a driver to borrow.

Maybe your buddies will let you use their driver? Otherwise use your three wood, I use mine on most holes anyway, more exact with it.

Use your 3W.

One reason people have trouble with FWs is they hit them only a few times a round. If you use a 3W 22 times a round instead of just four, you might get the hang of using it.
