I played at the LPGA course in Daytona yesterday, another fabulous course joining Palencia, North Hampton and Eagle Harbor on the list of great courses I've been lucky enough to play this year. Tomorrow it's back to normal at the Palatka GC.

 

I saw a brief video online somewhere with Fuzzy Zoeller showing how to hit a hybrid. It was interesting but I loved his line at the end about how a well hit hybrid is "almost like cheating." I feel the same way often as I'd never been able to get consistent results with a 3i/4i but I can often smack a similar hybrid 180-210 yards.

 

Yesterday we were up one hole on the 17th and my partner slapped a 100 yarder off the tee well right and I "boomed" a 30 yarder just short of the red tees. The other guys got out about 220. We hit our seconds from his lie (maybe 370 par 4) and I rocketed a 3H out of there about 220 yards. This would never happen with a 3I.

 

(He then hit the green and we 2 putted to halve the hole).
