00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
This golf course game is three clubs.

2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Now there's two different versions of this.

3
00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.000
It could either be three clubs plus putter or just three clubs.

4
00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:12.000
We would play this once or twice this semester,

5
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:15.000
usually for a box of golf balls on my college team.

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.000
We always played three clubs.

7
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
So if you chose putter, that was one of your three clubs.

8
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.870
It would force you to either put with your three wood or put with your sandwich

9
00:00:23.870 --> 00:00:24.000
.

10
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
You'll find that the most common strategies are either going to be

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
a three or a five wood, a seven, six iron, eight iron,

12
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.000
depending on how long you are, and then some wedge.

13
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.000
You'd be surprised at how close to your normal scores

14
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.000
you can shoot with just these three clubs.

15
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.000
But those are just general guidelines.

16
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:47.000
What I would really challenge you to do is look at the scorecard and see,

17
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.000
all right, if I take three wood, what's that going to leave me into a lot of

18
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:51.000
par fours

19
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.000
and what's that going to leave me potentially if I hit it twice into a par five

20
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.000
and then use that to balance out what other clubs you choose,

21
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:02.630
also while looking at kind of the par threes for the potential of which iron to

22
00:01:02.630 --> 00:01:03.000
pick.

23
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.000
But again, it just forces you to hit a lot of creative shots, a variety of

24
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:08.000
shots.

25
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:12.010
It challenges you to adjust your stock swing, which is really what playing golf

26
00:01:12.010 --> 00:01:13.000
is all about

27
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.000
once you've established a stock swing that you can adjust from.
