Want to try an experiment (I stole it from Tom Watson, so I don't want credit if it works)?

Everyone has a club or 2, they love and seem to hit well most of the time. Go play some day and just use that club, unless you're in the sand or around the green. Use it (or one of 2) for every shot. I'll bet you $5 you'll shoot your best round ever.
Only trouble with that is, those two clubs aren't always the same (for me anyway). But that aside, that's a pretty good idea and would be an interesting thing to try sometime.
