    You're not really trying to make the tour you want to crush stronger

    Norman chokes again

    My point really isn't about LIV making the Tour better. I'm saying that Tour players should be thanking LIV for coming along and giving them some nice pay raises. LIV accelerated some changes that benefit those guys.
    Agree

    I’m all for Norman choking, Phil DIAFF, and the tour players benefiting.

    Abundance.

    5 iron is my driver. I'm decent with a wedge and a putter and our? greens are fucking brutal.

    You just described the Throbber's sex life.

    Should I learn to hit a driver in 2023? This is the question.

    Modern drivers are the easiest club in the bag to hit Yella. If my iron play, which I work on a lot, came close to my driving, which I never work on except during rounds, I'd be a scratch golfer.

    Get one and figure it out. I'd look for one of the previous year's Taylor Mades, M series or Sim, to avoid spending $400+ on a club that you don't think you can hit

    So true. Unless there's a crazy dogleg or a hazard that cuts through the fairway or something, I hit driver. Not because I've got a big dick or anything, but mostly because the sweet spot is so big now compared to a 3w or long iron. Better chance of hitting it straight and on the face than those other options.

    I have a friend who can routinely crush it 300 yards but isn't consistently accurate. He's still usually in play and in wedge range though. What cracks me up is how he'll pick some odd hole to "play it safe" with his three iron. 81% of his iron tee shots are 100 yards shorter than his driver and in the rough, if he's lucky. It's comical.

    So I flipped to the CW since the PGA Tour was nothing this week and thought I'd check out the LIV

    Wasn't on. It was on the guide but not the station

    But Laura Baugh's son almost won the Honda

    You got extra long clubs? My driver is off the shelf but have 1/2 inch longer irons. Need new stuff so considering going a full inch longer.

    Heh.

    I bought my first real set of irons last year and got fitted for plus 1.5 inch. Calloway Big Berthas. 5, 7, 9, PW and Putter.

    I'll get a driver this spring.

    I don't disagree with the logic here. I need to buy a modern, forgiving driver and learn to hit it.

    But my 5 iron goes about 170 yds with an easy tall guy swing and generally hits the fairway. I'll take 170 in the fairway vs 240 in the rough every time.

    Also, the rough at my course is fucking brutal. Here's the 1st tee. @Tequilla can confirm.
