Played my first round of golf in the last 2 or so years yesterday morning with a group of guys I used to play with every Sunday (family commitments has made it tough the last few years to play). Trip to the driving range told me my grip after all these years off is way too strong (duck hooking all woods and hybrids) but I still wanted to play so I decided to simply tee off on the 4's and 5's with a 5 iron. Adjusted stance a little for the strong wrist and managed to shoot a 45 on the front using nothing longer than a 5 iron (5 iron got away from me on the back but was still happy with the front
)
Hole that stood out to me was #7 - 420yd par 4 straight with no trouble - partner who shot 42 on the front used driver and then 5H leaving himself 25 yds off the front - he got up and down for 4. I used 5I and then 5I and was 15yds off the front and chipped up to 4 ft - and of course missed the 4 footer for par
. It stood out to me because it was a very clear illustration that there are many different ways to play a course.
On the phone now making a lesson so I can correct my grip and I can use my driver again
