Driver - 315-yard

Post by neilgbarclay » Thu Jul 16, 2009 5:47 am

Ah, Jake:

Somewhere, I know there are instructions about this, but I can't find them.

Driver 1 (330 yards), as it is displayed, is obviously off-limits, but Driver 2 (315 yards) appears to be available.
Yet, when I click on that, I cannot get any of the courses to come up for play.

I rather suspect my unlimited mulligans might be the culprit, but if so why does Driver 2 give the impression that it is available?

Please explain the mulligan limit for each driver.

Are you using the 1W/2W? It should say twice that you can't use either of those clubs with the driver (to balance out the extra distance of the club)

Sweet Jake, lovely Jake, darlin' Jake,

You did say what you said you said, and I missed it both times - sort of.

Actually, I did think I eliminated both the 1 & 2 Woods, but I guess not. (I'm so dumb that No always means "number.")

I never was good at instructions, which is why I don't knit or crochet.

On the subject of the 315 yard driver, does anyone think it's an advantage for a specific course?

On the courses I've played so far, it doesn't seem to be an advantage, because you can't use it from the fairway (unlike the 1-wood). There are a couple of holes on Oakmont (4 and 12) where the green is reachable in two shots (fair wind permitting) with the 1-wood, but not with the Driver2 and a 3-wood. There aren't many holes that you can reach the green with a DR2, so you normally need that second shot whatever.

Interested in comments.

Cheers, AndrewD

I've been using it for fun lately. I don't think it as useful on the 580 yard+ holes that can't really be reached in two, it may even hurt 5 yards. It's kind of designed to helpful on par 4s, dropping 15 yards off the majority of the second shots.

The 330 yard driver should be interesting, you can still use a 1/2 wood but you don't get a mulligan! I have a feeling it will help the really good golfers, but I personally use the mulligan to take one stroke off my game just about every round.

That's an interesting decision Jake - to allow the DR1 and 1W together. It means even the longer par fives should be reachable in 2 shots, and I think will be well worth the lost mulligan - prepare to see scores tumble!
