Question for golfers.

[AUFred]

I am in no way a golfer but I do own clubs. Over the years through trial & error & gifts I have acquired too many clubs. Presently there are 16 clubs in my bag. I am going to be playing in a tournament. If they hold me to a strict adherence to the rule book 14 is the maximum number of clubs legally in your bag. Which two clubs would you remove?

Driver 10.5 degree
#3 wood 15 degree
#5 wood 18 degree
#7 wood 21 degree
#3 hybrid 18 degree
#4 iron 23 degree
#5 iron 26 degree
#6 iron 30 degree
#7 iron 34 degree
#8 iron 38 degree
#9 iron 42 degree
Pitching Wedge 46 degree
Lofting wedge 50 degree
Sand wedge 55 degree
Chipper club
putter

I know I need the putter and the driver. I like my fairway woods assuming I accidently find the fairway. That basically leaves the irons & short clubs in my opinion. What are your suggestions?

I'd say pick your best (for results) woods/hybrid, and leave out the 4 and 5 irons if you feel proficient with the fairway woods. I'd take my 6, 7, and 9 irons. I'd for sure bring my sand wedge, and pitching wedge.

I think the chipper club would be good too.

#7 and #3 wood hybrid...superfluous

Actually I hit the #7 wood as well as I hit any club. I have even landed the green on a 225 yd par 3 with that club.

Interesting perspective. I like that.

okay then, the six and eight irons are out then.

The three clubs you hit the worst with.

I hit my hybrids better than anything. My irons are not so hot.. i would drop my 4 and 5 as well. I agree with Carly's thinking. I would think about dropping the 8 as well. I actually have the same problem in my bag, but no one cares because I suck too bad. At some point I need to drop 2 or three clubs (can't remember how many I actually have)

You are not helping my cause.. I REALLY want to golf this weekend and Sunday is my best bet.... does golfing on mother's day equal divorce? If I take one of the kids with me I think she will be OK with it... lol

I'll take no-brainers for $200, please, Alex.

I'd drop the 5W and the chipper club... but that's mainly because I prefer my hybrids to my fairway woods, and I've never had any luck with a chip club... I just use my wedges choked up. My set consists of my driver, a 3W (that I pretty much never use), 3-4 hybrids, 4-9 irons, pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and putter.

I suppose if you have 20 clubs in your bag if you hit none of them well no one cares. This is a church men's scramble so no one will probably care but occasionally you have to deal with a purist. I average once or twice a year playing because it is so expensive and I do not enjoy it that much.

Why in God's name would you do that....?

If pressed likely I would drop the #3 wood & the chipper. I can hit my 5 wood & 7 wood better than I hit the three. If I need the 3 I will just use the driver.

I can see that logic too Fred. I don't have a chipper, so I could not vote to toss that one...

 

[pjbleek]

you keep the five iron for mid range shots and you lighten up on the eight to compensate for the nine iron.

The chipper was a gift from my daughter. I like playing around with it but have never actually used it on a golf course. I can do nice things with it 15 yards and in.

 

[rback33]

But... that goes against proper golf logic... you are supposed to use the proper club that allows you to swing normal and hit the correct distance. I suck, but I do watch golf shows that tell me how bad I suck too...

yup, only Tiger Woods in the video game....lol

 

[Panacea]

I am tragic with hybrids and woods, I like my 3 iron the bladier the better for me lol. And I hit men's clubs so maybe my advice is that much wonkier.

Yeah, that's just dumb.
