3 Clubs & a Putter Comp

[Richie13]

ive entered a 3 clubs and a putter comp for this friday, and ive been racking my brains trying to sort my club selection out,

also really looking forward to the different conditions, seems a obscure and fun way to play a round, really looking forward to it, have you guys played anything similar?

 

[MKDave]

Played in a couple before I hit my driver.

Always took 7 iron, 9 iron and SW!

It's all about the short game for me!! Maybe now-a-days I'd swap the 7 iron for a 5 iron

Firstly, take the clubs that will get you to most par 3 greens - may well be something like 6 and 8 irons so a 7 might do both.
Then fit in a "driving "club like a hybrid, 3 wood or long iron.
Then fit in a chipping/bunker club - PW or GW........

 

[NWJocko]

Not played one yet, think it would be a good laugh though.I'd take 2 hybrid, 7 iron and 56* wedge

Driver - you gotta take that you need to get the ball down there,
5/6 iron - for the pars 3s, and 2nd shots on the par 4s
PW/9 - Obvious what youll use that for

Played quite a few. You will be surprised when the scores are not a million miles away from the 14 club bag.
I usually go with 5 wood 7 iron and pitching wedge. You need to analyse your course hole by hole and play a virtual round to see if three clubs you choose will do the job.

 

[Richie13]

i was thinking of taking my 4iron as i have started to hit it well, and the forced practice can only be good, if not it will be my hybrid but it has been a bit naughty lately!

7 iron will reach all but 3 of our par 3's, i say reach it would if i could hit strait lol our last 2 par 3's play at over 190yards

unsure or which wedge to take, 56* or 60* i usually play myself into tight spots so guessing the 60 would be the choice

that said im really excited for it

 

[Ethan]

I would do hybrid, 7 iron and gap wedge.

 

[chrisd]

We have a 5 club comp this weekend and rest assured - whichever clubs I take will never be the right one for the shot I have to play!!

 

[One Planer]

I played one my first full season.

Took 3 hybrid, 8 iron and a pitching wedge.

 

[bignev]

Rescue club , 7 iron, Gap Wedge (54) and putter.
Those 4 should see you alright

 

[Lump]

Don't take a long iron for off the tee shots on par4 and 5's. I love my long irons but did this last year. It wasn't a fun round. Take a wood or hybrid for tee shots.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Unless you have huge carries off the tee I'd go something like 5w/3H 6 iron and wedge

 

[daymond]

A 60 degree wedge is not a good idea.

 

[GreiginFife]

Last one I did I had 6, 9 and 52*.
Played a mate round 9 holes a few weeks ago with 7 iron and putter was a brilliant laugh.

 

[kmdmr1]

5 Wood
7 Iron
PW
Putter
Easy.................

 

[Region3]

Ours is played off the ladies tees, so I took driver and SW for the par 4's, and a 7 iron for the 3's and approaches to par 5's.

 

[chappell07]

Entering my first 3 clubs and 1 putter tomorrow and still haven't got a clue what to use. Thinking 4 iron, 7irons, 52degree and putter!!........hhmmm? How have other faired in this style comp?
