.... and I was thinking of taking my 7i and SW
I'm going to have to think hard about making shorter shots with the 7i.
The other critical factor is that this is a Stableford competition, and that I go off 24. On all but the shorter par 4s I need three shots to get onto the green, and therefore course management can come into play even more. So I intend to try 4i off the tee (which I can hit accurately and a decent distance), 4i off the fairway, and a 7i in to the green. In other words, still split those holes into 3 shots into the green, but in different lengths.
I should be able to potentially rack up the points with the shots given on each hole.

Spot on. Think about it this way. You play every par four hole as a par five. Get on in 3 and two-putt for a bogey. Let the other guys hit driver/wedge, and then try to figure out what to do when they snap hook a driver into the rough and have to hit three wedges to get to the green.
