What do you do on days where it seems like driver is the only sure club in the bag?

Chip with it? Putt with it? 
My putting wasn’t bad, so I’ll keep the flat stick, but man, it sucked yesterday pounding 285+ down the pipe all round, only to frick up a 7 iron or less most of the day. Even a slipped hand in the middle of a drive or hitting it off the toe resulted in a near perfect drive.
I somewhat figured out the irons on the back 9 by shooting 10 strokes better, even carding a birdie, but the front 9 was frustrating as frick.

what your describing is called golf.

285 and it’s the best club in the bag? Maybe you need to work on your swing speed.

I can't say because I dont think I've ever had that day..... Now i've had several rounds where I contemplate never using a driver again.

Just have decent distances on your irons and resign to a chip and two putt. And try to break 90.
I started going to the range more often and hitting a ton of just 9iron and 7iron. That's helped some.
I might want to try arriving early enough to warm up.

I have good distances on 6I thru LW, but actually hitting them was a different story.
You would have laughed at my 2I hybrid that I hit 205 and it never appeared to get more than 6” off the ground. fricker scooted all the way to just left of the green pin high.

For everything else, put the ball back in your stance, press hands forward and hit down on it (taking an extra club)... “when you’re choking, hit it low” the old saying goes

Ain't this the truth. It never fails, if my driving is going well my iron play is balky and if I am kind of sharp with my irons I am all over the place with the driver.
Combine that with being a three putt machine at times I struggle to break 90. It doesn't happen often
