Actually, although I voted for a 3 wood, and I carry a 3 wood now, I have carried a #1 hybrid ( 16 degree ), and I may carry it, again. I also carry a few other hybrids. You might say I'm more of a hybrid fan than a fairway wood fan.

I am very similar, I love my 3 wood, but I can hit my 3 iron much better then my 5 wood so I carry that instead of the 5 wood.

I love my 3 wood, best I have ever played, long, workable, don't tee it to high or it can baloon. I depend on my short game so carry 4 wedges. On a really long course I sometimes drop my gap wedge and carry a five wood.

I'm loving my 3wd! Last time I played I used it mostly off the tee and was killing it! I swear to god this club is amazing. I'm hitting 250's off the tee and can hit it about the same off the deck. Best 3wd ever! My other 3wd is an alpha 3+ that if you hit it, it seems longer than a driver! Awesome!

For some reason I can't hit my 3 wood but I hit the 5 wood very well. Same manufacturer for both clubs. Taylormade. Just can't hit the 3 wood. Thinking of taking it out of the bag and putting in a 60 degree lob wedge.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
