Discovering new game on the course

I have been trying varied hybrids each day. Striking down on the ball definitely is a must for solid contact. Really aim just behind the ball and drive the head of the hybrid into the ground a bit. This should take a small divot, but not one that would be the size of your shoe. Trying to sweep the hybrids into the air along the ground results in low shots not struck well.
If you are using one club and trying the just an hour before dusk format on the course here is an interesting game. Using one club and be thinking 'power walk to each shot.' Once you land on the green simply walk a full step toward the hole from where you hit it on the green and for each 5 full steps add another number. This keeps you moving and to hang around the green isn't really your objective.
Even the clubhouse should appreciate the fact that you are not on the course to play the 'real golf game' yet. There may be some small fee that the course will charge, but I have found two courses now that know what I am doing, see me doing this and I am not charged. Bringing in food of some type for an appreciation gift might be a fine gesture too for continuing the hybrid power walk at the cooperating courses. It wouldn't hurt to ask if you could help once in a while to pick up the range or other tasks they may suggest
