    I’ve recently began to tee off on par 5’s with a 4iron... allows me to go 4 iron, 4 iron, 7-pw into the green. 
     
    Essentially eliminates any eagle 🦅 opportunity but it’s not like I really was having many opportunities at them anyways. It has however kept me in play and my scoring average down.

    I’m a victim of the over draw / block miss on my driver. Don’t have those issues when I pull the 4-iron out. Haven’t completely abandoned it, especially on longer par 4’s but it’s costing me probably a good 3-4 shots a round. And I feel that is being optimistic.

    My miss on driver can be a two way miss much too often. I’m giving up a good 65 yards from driver to 4 iron... but it also forces my hand on the second shot.

    Has to be taking the driver off the deck... never practiced and seldom used so by sheer volume alone it is the most inconsistent.

    I think it depends on the layout/design of the hole. I have a par 5 at my club where you can only hit 4 iron or hybrid max off the tee to a landing area. you have a narrow landing area for your second shot due to a large lake down the left side of the fairway. You have to option of hitting 4 iron to 3 wood for your second, leaving anything from 150 yds to 40 yds for 3rd shot. If you want to very very aggressive, you can hit driver off the tee, but you must carry it 250+ and you are still left with 225 to the green with water all along the left. Just paly to your strengths!

    Strategizing the way you play the hole to suit your strengths is the smartest way to play golf.
    Unfortunately many of us, myself included, want to go for the long drives and try to reach the green in two.
    I will be creating game plans this year, so I can try to play for my best score in each round.

    Just curious if you're having trouble controlling your 3 wood as well.  Not sure if you just skipped it or it didnt work out.  Itll definitely help on those par 4s

    toshea reacted to GolfSpy_APH in Do you actually use your 3-Wood?   
    3 wood for me is a go to club. Whether it be off the tee or from the fairway it gets regular use.
    Most the courses I play are not super long and I could get away with no driver.
    It took a long time to find a 3 wood I love, but now that I have one it's a great weapon in the bag and the only reason its use has settled the last little while is I've been giving the g400 a good spin even on holes where 3 wood would be my normal club to use.
    Much of it would be course dependent, but I couldn't imagine not having one in my bag now.

    Hey everyone!
     
    I’ve been playing golf since the age of 10 when I bought my first set at my neighbors garage sale. Old leather bag with about 35 clubs in it... 20 of them were some type of wood and the others were blades. 
     
    What is not to love about golf... I think the best part is that you can truly never master it. There is always room for growth. 
    I’ve been reading MGS for years and recommend it to all my golf junkie friends. I know a few spies and always looking to meet some more. 
     
    I’m from Chicago (south burbs) and don’t have a home course... more of a golfing nomad.
     I’m a teacher and coach by trade.

    I heard about them from this website I believe. I’ve had a couple bad experiences with local “fitters” in my area; trying to push me to buy the latest and most expensive club as well as the club that gives me the most distance on their monitors. Building to my liking and not have a salesman push for something else, is refreshing. Price point is refreshing. Performance of these irons are great and the customer service was top notch. Highly recommend you go with them if you’re in the market.
