3 clubs and a putter

[Matty6]

My club is running a '3 clubs and a putter' comp in the new year. Not played in one before so should be good bit of fun. Im thinking of using a hybrid, 7 iron and a wedge. Although driver would be handy for my tee shots off the long par 4's and par 5's, my hybrid works well off the tee.

What would be your 3 clubs for your home track?

I used 5,9&60° and shot 36 points........

43 won it that day.

The usual thing to do is make sure you select clubs that cover playing the par 3's. Personally I would never take a driver it has limited use.

the comp we play is 3 clubs which one must be a putter so less options.

last year i went with a 23 deg hybrid (the only time i use it) and a wedge. amazing how well you can score with just those. shot 74 gross and a mate shot level. we didn't get close to those score during the season.

That was my thinking too. My 3 clubs cover all of the par 3's.

For me it would be 22 ° hybrid, 7 iron and sandwedge. I struggle with length (or rather, lack thereof), so not having the driver off the tee does hurt me, but I agree with what Doh said about limited use. It does not make sense to pick a club that you can hit 15 times at most during the round (not counting provisionals off the tee, that is )

4i, 8i, 58*W would be my weapons of choice. I can grip down and lay off the 4i to roughly get my 5i & 6i distances, same with my 8i to get 9i & PW distances, then 58* is good for anything within 80 yards.

 

[stokie_93]

think I would go 5 iron, 8 iron and 52* Wedge.

 

[londonlewis]

Probably 6, 8, SW
Or 7, 9, SW

My clubs of choice. We have one of these each year and amazing to see how good some of the scores are. Makes you wonder if 14 clubs are really necessary

 

[PJ87]

5 Wood
8 Iron
54 Degree

Putter

 

[Garush34]

I would go 3 wood, 6 iron and 9 iron. It covers most of the shots I would need, and I can use the 9 iron for most shots around the green, could also use the 3 wood for bump and runs.

 

[londonlewis]

Seve would have probably used a 3-iron. No other clubs necessary.

 

[Orikoru]

I would probably take a 5 wood, 7 iron and sand wedge. Tough call though - ask me another day and I'd probably say something different.

5 Wood
8 Iron

That one is on the money for me!

Swap the 8i for a 7i if the par 3s suggest it, otherwise top choice.

I think it's because the 8 iron is my fav club. Very forgiving and I use around the green for little bump and runs sometimes

all round useful club

I learned golf with half set 4 6 8 pw, 8 iron is my fav club also

I absolutely detest this format. Happens a couple of times over the winter at my club.

I wish it would just wither and die as a format and that I could get a proper game on the days that this is on.

 

[Stuey01]

Won one of these at my old club. We played 13 holes and I had 34 points. I used Driver, 7i, PW, Putter
