I'm looking for some advice. Since I started taking lessons 8 weeks ago I've been hovering right around 100 for most rounds I play. I picked up a book called 'Break 100 Now!' which made some great equipment suggestions that might help me to improve my game.
The main suggestion was the removal of the driver from the bag and teeing off with a 3 Wood on the longer holes. I have been doing this for the last two weeks with success. Yesterday I hit 7 of the 14 fairways I teed off with the 3W. I was also consistently around 230-250 yards off the tee.
The other suggestions for woods focused around higher woods (5W, 7W, etc) and removing the long irons to make room for the higher woods. I have some ideas and I would like your thoughts.
I was thinking about getting a Callaway Steelhead III 5 Wood Graphite Firm (to use from 210-230), and then getting a Taylor Made Rescue Mid 3 Steel and Taylor Made Rescue Mid 4 Steel to replace the 3 and 4 irons (as I have been having a hard time lately with my 3 and 4 irons).
Does this plan make sense? Following that plan, is there any need for a Rescue Mid 2? How would a 5 Wood and a Rescue Mid 2 differ in ball flight and distance?
So far following the advice, I scored a good 99 yesterday (a few 3 putt holes souring a good day). So I am playing better and hitting with a little more control off the tee.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
