Fortunately a double bogey on hole 17 stopped me from posting a third -5 round for the week. Ended up with a fairly mediocre -20 and I just never seemed to get the feel of this course. Didn't hate it or anything but it clearly didn't like me. Just curious John, any idea what your bag setup is? I doubt I've ever changed it from whatever the default is. The thought of fiddling with it has entered my head a few times but never at a time when I can change it.

When I switched to beginner I put in a lot more longer options (2-wood, etc). I took out a mid-iron and sometimes that hurts me with distance options.

The main gaps I notice are between 1 and I believe 3 wood which is mostly an issue on long par 3's and whatever clubs are 192 yds and 174 yds which comes up much more often.

I just realized something...
Y'all have the wind number, right?
I'm still playing with it off!

I’m sure there is some equation/math for it but I never bothered to learn. I kind of like knowing just the direction and general strength. You’ll be lapping the field with your scoring Daxon, regardless of what aides you have on. Edit: What’s going on with your tourney Tim?

Fired the game up for the first time since the beginning of October and quickly realized I've got some dust and cobwebs to sort out! Putting, yikes!!!, and where did all my damn club/side spin mappings go!! I'm also curious what's in others peoples bag; I've always used D, 1i-9i, PW, GW, and a LW.

Something I don't like is changing clubs for each tournament. It is tedious and I would rather not do it. I agree. I played that game for awhile and gave up. Finally found a combo that works for me with beginner. My main issue when I started was reaching some of the long par 3s. Finally just decided the only thing that would work was having every club in the bag, which you can’t do. So it is what it is. I use D,2w, 4w, 3,4,5,7,8,9,pw, and all wedges Tried a 1-iron instead of 4w (same distance) but felt like I had better loft/de-loft control with the 4w. There’s probably no difference I just felt that way.

If you played this week’s tournament it’s probably not the best to get your putting stroke back with green speeds all over the place.

I signed up in the Society called "Tough Beginner Club Tour" to get some MUCH NEEDED practice in. Once I remap my clubs, find my old putting formula (it's somewhere on this site), and get a weeee bit of confidence back, I'll hit the course proper.

Had a temper tantrum after my lackluster round and sitting on the 18th green for Round 2. I will finish up at some point

D, 2W, 4H, 3-9, PW, SW, LW.
It's what I used with masters and I'm not changing it.
I hit my fair share of 1/2 box to 3/4 box draws/fades to kill distance.
I haven't mapped me wedges and 9i for max loft/deloft yet.
Just been playing by feel since being here.

My 4th round was a funny disaster. 😂😂
Haven't hit the ball that bad in years. 😬😬
Math was off.
Chipping was bad.
Putting was a joke.
At least I didn't rage. 😊😊
I have fun with these clubs. 😎😎
