It is a failing of many players that during a round they will use only one club off the tee for the 14 or so holes that are par fours or fives. For example, they erroneously reach for a driver when confronted with a hole of 500 yards or 460 meters with two deep bunkers that narrow the fairway to just 20 yards or 18 meters in width at about the distance to which they can hit.
On a hole of 320 yards or 292 meters with a narrow sliver of fairway at which to aim, owing to water down the left hand side and trees on the right, they pull out the driver and so on. It is interesting to note that the straightest drivers of all, such as Colin Montgomery or Lee Westwood, would not dream of using a driver in either of these instances unless there were three holes to play and they needed three birdies.
Even given that situation, they would probably still use other clubs. Many golfers fall back on the argument that they are just having a fun round and using a 3 wood on one hole and a 3 iron on another would go against the grain.
That is fine, of course, but on the really fun rounds that you have enjoyed you can be sure that you were playing well and scoring well. Most golfers would answer in the affirmative to both these questions. Yet taking a driver on every hole helps them achieve neither, indeed, driving into the water or into the trees can have just the opposite effect, as your score hoes haywire and your confidence disappears down the drain.
So if the fairway is narrow at the driving distance, do not look on it as an irresistible temptation, but concede a small defeat to the course and use your 3 wood in the knowledge that you will have a much better chance of winning a far greater victory by enjoying success on the hole. Or use your 4 wood if you think the situation calls for it.
