Well, I've come to a cross roads in my golfing life. I have gone from playing blades and carrying a 2 iron to playing game improvement irons and carrying 3 hybrids. I feel like I am on a downward spiral into golf mediocrity, even though I have the same handicap I've had for 3 years (8). I am trying to find a quick and easy way to shave a few strokes off each round, and think I have the solution. I am canning my 3 wood and picking up a GW.
I figure at the most I hit my 3 wood 2 or 3 times per round, and most of those shots are not going to reach the green anyway. I could easily hit a 16* or 19* hybrid, which are easier to hit anyway, and lay up to a decent distance and still get on in regulation. However, I seem to face 2 to 3 shots per round where I am in between my 45* PW and 54* SW. These are shots that have a good chance of getting close, so it just seems logical to put a club in my bag that will allow me to take a full swing from these distances.
Am I nuts or does this make sense to you?
Coincidentally, I am sure I'm nuts, but just not for this reason.
