Think of trying for consistancy and accuracy rather than distance. I'm by no means any kind of expert, but I can relay what I've been told easier than put it into practise myself! Best of luck with it mate!

I played 18 on the Fazio course today in high winds. It was tough and I fought to break 100. And fight I did scoring a 49 on the front and 50 on the back. Whew.
I had ONE solid hybrid shot. I used it 3x on the back 9 avoiding it on the front using my 5 iron most of the time. I also used my 3 wood off the rough in the back 9 for a solid 180 yarder. It felt good to dig deep for a shot that left me a sand wedge (50 odd yards) away.
The driver played havoc for me in the high winds. I teed up low and had some nice straight shots but some some shots just died on me. (which will lead to my next post on how to play in windy conditions) and some just went sailing to the right. For the most part they were all very playable.
I had a ton of sand bunker shots and did not par one single hole.
The hybrid, when I got the clean shot, was an easy, light grip, slow backswing that gave me a really good result. If only I can keep that in my head. The club is so light I want to just swing it to New Zealand!
I have maybe 18 more holes in me before I go back to Los Angeles. If the winds die down a bit (which is doubtful because Hurricane Flossie is passing by) I might fight to break 90!
