I still not doing it but, wait there's more

I get such enjoyment from this game.

I hit balls today and I was horrible until I found a little temp at the top. Doing everything I can to get that shoulder down and it seems it's at the top of the swing. 50 balls in and it was horrible. then I took it back a little slower and was smacking the heck out of the ball but even with that, it became hit-and-miss. Big behind-the-ball chunks that would normally bring out the landscape police, a lot of tops, and a few whiffs, and sometimes when I hit the ball it went nowhere with some crazy knuckleball spin and movement. it was wild. Still trying to do the same thing all the time and obviously, I am not. But I know I can so I am more than 1/2 way in my mind.

I played a par 3 today. But they teamed me up with a 3some that wanted to play best ball. I only hit 2 greens in reg but had 3 very nice chips that I was able to take down. It was fun. And I was a little stinko but I had a blast. 2 old ladies. One asked me if I was married because she was a widow. She had to be 77 maybe. nice to know I still got what the old ladies want😁

Question On par 3 they have 3 different hitting spots. We hit from the middle. Should I play these par 3's from the longest tee and does it affect the handicap?
