Frustrating round today, but first, a rule question.
Let say you have 13 clubs in your bag. You can go to your car anytime during the round and grab #14, correct? So, here's another take on it.... You have 13 clubs. Can you declare your driver out of play, and remove/replace the shaft to make club #14?
OK, on to the round. After the PXG fitting, I gave the Cypher40R shaft the start. It was a disaster. 3/4 drives not within 30 yards of the desired fairway. Some good iron play and putting still had me even through 5 somehow. On #6, I swapped back to my XCaliber Avalon, and all was right with the world. Rolled in a 20 footer on 9 to make the turn at -1.
On the back 9, Both par 3s at 175 were 4 irons, and I chunked both of them, followed by a chunked chip, and a chip and putt bogey. The other 4 holes were missed birdie putts under 15 feet. +1 through 15, but 16-18 are all gettable, so I still was aiming for under par. #16, good drive, 7i to 5 feet, missed. #17, a 300 yard par 4, drive pin high (not sure how, I hit 230-250) but needed a flop over a bunker. Chunked it into the bunker. Up and down. #18 is a 490 Par 5. Good drive left 230. Drilled a 3w, and again, pin high, left needing a short flop over a bunker. Chipped long and could only save par.
Really frustrating.
