Well, it's official: I have buried my 3 wood. It's in my garage, where all clubs go to die, and is to remain there for the forseeable future. I have been unable to hit this club in the same ferocious manner to which I had become accustomed, and finally decided that the 2 shots per round that I was pulling it out for were, in fact, better off hit with a shorter club. I have come to the realization that some par 5's were meant to be reached in 3, so in that line of thinking I have decided to rekindle my love affair with the 4th wedge.
I used to carry a GW, along with a PW, SW and LW, during my brief Phil Mickelson emulation period, but dropped it to add a 16* hybrid during my Todd Hamilton phase. Between then and now, well, I've just been using my old Retro Raylor/V Steel 3 wood as a Longhorns headcover holder. There have been brief stints where I would keep my driver in the bag due to my enormous confidnce in my spoon, and I would intentionally lay up on short par 5's to hit 3 wood instead of 3 iron, but those days are a thing of the past.
Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I say farewell, at least until this phase wears off.
