3 clubs and a putter comp

[Oddsocks]

I enjoy the 4+putter format but 3 inc putter I never enter.

I think it very much depends on the length and style of your course. My original club was a short links course. 3 clubs only was fine. My current course, long parkland, 3 clubs only would be a nonsense, it would have to be 4. The course is the key to this.

Pretty much this. My old club a 3h, 9i and putter was ok but the big hitters could take 6i, 52* and putter and it was often cat1’s who won it. 5 clubs definitely made it a tighter comp.

At the new club I wouldn’t bother with 3 clubs due to length,

Nairn has a 3 club one has to be a putter and its always amazing how well people score at times. i managed to shoot 72 gross last time i played it but got well beaten

My club did one of these this week but it was on a Thursday morning so I couldn't play in it, which was a shame as I've never done it.

Yes, I'd maybe take 3 wood as my course isn't the longest and it means I can hit it for second shots as well. Then it's a mid-iron and a wedge really. 7 iron most likely, and as for the wedge you'd maybe go 50°? I would say PW or AW but I'd definitely have to avoid bunkers in that case. Even 50 is probably pushing it.

I've seen the results come through for this on the app - only two people entered. Guess they won't bother with it next year. Winner still got 35 points though!
