Thomas,
The previous day I played Royal Melbourne East with Ryan (Ruffels) and Richie Ramsay - 4x Euro Tour winner and a self-described "on the short side" driver.
They hit wedges into every par 4 on the course.
The next day Ryan played the back nine at Victoria with hickory. It took him a bit to get used to the clubs but he hit drives and 3 irons into the 10th,11th and 12th holes - 10 and 11 would have been wedges and 12 perhaps a driver/8 iron.
The high, drawn 3 iron up the hill to 11 was super impressive and the golf was so much more interesting to watch than the driver/wedge fest the previous day. (Not that playing Royal Melbourne is ever bad!)
By the end he was well-used to the clubs and his two drivers onto 18 were super impressive.
The game is so obviously more interesting at their level when the clubs are more difficult to hit and the courses play in a way their original architects would recognise.
