I will try to get my round in tomorrow, rain dependent…I revised my bag makeup after considering the probable distances expected…it will be:

3h
6iron
8iron
52*
putter

I put the hybrid back in the bag last week…I spent a couple range sessions focused on it and improved my setup and have been having better results, but the bottom line is that all things being equal, the hybrid will hold a green better than a long iron, and as the rainy season started last week, the ground conditions are softening and the hybrid gives that little extra insurance against digging in…also, after a little debate, I decided that the putter would ultimately save more strokes…that is to say I haven’t practiced enough putting with anything other than my putter, and I am sure that on some putts I wouldn’t hold the green, and anything made over 10 feet would depend on a lot of luck.
Looking forward to this, I am looking at this as a practice experience, making me approach holes that I have played hundreds of times with a fresh perspective and manufacturing tee and fairway shots to suit what I have available…I don’t want to change anything about my putting game at the moment! (somebody give me some wood to knock on, a rabbit’s foot and a four leaf clover held by a leprechaun!!!)
