Nonsense. Cloke would very likely be much more accurate with a change of clubs. A big strong lad like him who is having difficulty with the Woods should certainly switch to a different club. He always gets plenty of height on the ball, so my thinking is that the perfect club for Cloke might be a one iron.

Had to get his mate Goldsack a medal I reckon.

Pure speculation - Cloke to Richmond, Lids to GWS, Marchbak to the Pies.

Cloke to the Dogs, Boyd to GWS, Marchbank to the Pies?

Ever tried to hit a 1 iron??
There's a reason most iron sets start at 4 iron these days!
I think he's been using 1 iron his whole career!

He's been putting with a sand wedge, if you ask me.

Putting with a sand wedge can actually fix the yips.
Less margain for error, helps you focus on rolling the ball towards the cup instead of "hitting" it.

Not recommended over a 10-12 year career though.

lee Trevino was hit by lightning. When asked what he would do next time he said "I will stick up a 1 Iron, even God can't hit a 1 iron".

I carry a 1-iron in my bag to hold above my head in the event of a lightening storm. Not even god can hit a 1-iron......

Indeed I have. A one iron is a helluv a lot easier to hit in the vague, approximate direction of the fairway than a wood of any kind is. Well, that's my experience, but I never did get the hang of hitting with a wood, so maybe I'm weird. In the end, I learned that it was best to leave the woods in the bag and just use irons for everything. Lost a bit of distance but at least it mostly went in around about the right direction most of the time.

I never actually owned a one iron, just borrowed one to try out for a few rounds, but I used a two iron off the tee for a good while until I got a bit smarter and decided the thing I liked best about golf was walking around on the grass listening to the birds calling and enjoying the sunshine, and that stopping to hit the damn ball all the time was the most annoying part. I daresay my clubs are still buried in the shed somewhere.
