Champions was relaxed for a weekday session

This sounds familiar. I would keep the next step small and use one of the site tools before changing too much.

Good question. The answer depends on pace, safety, and whether the course feels fair from the tees you choose.

I tried something similar last month. Writing notes after the round helped me more than trying to fix it during play.

The thread recommends Champions for players who want a central course, coaching nearby, and a lower-pressure first round.
