    Game management.

    Practice mostly with the clubs you are confident, this will groove your swing. Practice a little with the clubs you are not confident. Gradually you will start hitting them better.

    Go to the course with only the clubs you hit well, you will score better. Being short of the green in regulation is better than hitting 3 off the tee, dropping behind the hazard, and even pitching out of the woods.

    How do you hit your fairway woods? Maybe go to a 3W or 5W off the tee for awhile.

    Would you rather be 220 down the middle of the fairway with a 3 wood or 270 in the trees with a driver? You may even be surprised to find out that you hit a 3 wood FARTHER than a driver on occasion. Golf pros even use drivers sparingly because they also occasionally hit a wild one with the driver.

    I used a 3 wood or 4 wood off the tee for ages (1972-2003) because I couldn't hit a driver. My longest ever drive was 325 with a laminated 3 wood in 1973 and I hit one close to 300 with a persimmon in 1988. I had a period where I used a 1 iron off the tee (1984-1990) and could hit it 260. I've actually played better golf with less clubs (my bare minimum setup is driver, 7 wood, 5H, 7-PW, 3 Vokeys and a putter; the 4H and 5-6 irons are there for the ride).
