  Has anyone ever played a match without their driver. Well, that was my case this past grueling 18 holes! I had just got done playing a blitz match and then I jumped over to the tournaments page and decided to play the 3rd round of an important premium tournament I was leading. WELL...Little did I know, I forgot to switch out my long wedge for my driver and what do you know..

  Hun, Get me a beer. :) Hope u enjoyed

  I did for 2 months, yet not as a Legend :)

  During that time, as a Pro and TP, I used a Rapture 3WD instead of the Starter driver. A nice bargain for one, sometimes two deadly precise shots per hole. Kicked a few Masters' a§§es then *sighs*

  When I found myself in an AS as a TM with two 3WDs (G20 + Rapture, a nostalgic review) but no driver I was less pleased, having to drive to the very left part of BPB's #7 FW.

  I've been there. Took both woods out to play a CTTH then got invited to an alt shot game on Bethpage. My partner was not amused.

  Ever play CCC from the Legend tees with only a 3i to drive with? Been there. The worst part is getting to the 1st tee and having the caddie hand it to you.  Oops.  :-D

  I made a suggestion a few weeks ago on a way we could avoid these situations, but it didn't garner much interest.

  I once beat Jakestanfill without driver on sta front 9. I was using raptures too. If you see him, make sure you ask him about it:)

  I quit using a CTTH set-up as I played so often right after a CTTH round with only my iron set and 5 wedges.

  If a Confirm/Change Equipment box came up after hitting the Tee Off button, it would solve this problem.

  Although, getting just half your money back from a RG does feel somewhat like a victory, when you do it with free or cheap balls.

  This brings to mind a thought (that I think has already been raised previously) and makes sense to help "avoid" these situations.

  Whatever happened to the idea of a saved configuration to choose when starting play?  I would swear this was brought up at some point, but can't find the post to save my life (kind of like my putting).
