4 club challenge

[Vikingman]

Got a 4 club challenge at our place this Sunday and struggling to choose the 4th club.

5 wood, 9 iron and putter are definates but not sure between 4 hybrid and 5 or 6 irons.

5 iron would seem the obvious choice but I'm probably a bit more consistant with the hybrid and 6 iron.

Picking the hybrid leaves me a big gap to the 9 iron but I suppose I can always grip down on it.

Course will be playing just under 6,400 yards.

Anyone played many of these things and if so what were the right clubs and which turned out to be poor choices?

How can you take 5 or 6 irons in a 4 club comp ?

:rofl:


Not sure 5 wood and 4H works maybe take the 4h 6iron 9iron and putter?

 

[NWJocko]

Only done it twice.

Both times took driver, 7 iron, gap wdge and putter.

Driver to batter it as far as I can on all holes to use the 7 or wedge, much less messing about.

Usually hit the 5 wood pretty well, reckon I'd miss the distance leaving it out.

Normally do 2 clubs and a putter - 3Rescue , 7I and putter

 

[Liverbirdie]

I would consider:-

How many par 5's?

Length of the par 3's

Number of bunkers

In our one recently, I took the following. 3 rescue (200 yards full), 8 iron (140 yards full) Sand wedge and putter.

At least with 2 rescues and an iron, I could hit all the par 5's in reg. I could take an easy rescue or 8 iron for the par 3's. The Sw was for 80 yards and in, and in case I got in any bunker. We have lots of par 4's around 350, so there was only 2-3 that needed 2 rescues, most were a rescue and an 8 iron.

I'd probably go with this, but I'd switch driver for my 5 wood

[Oddsocks]

4w 6i PW. putter

 

[Stuey01]

I won ours this year by 9 (35points in 13 holes) I used a driver, 7i, pw and putter.
I had a good driving day and it meant I didn't have to manufacture too many shots except pitches and chips with the pw which are fairly standard anyway.

Hit driver, wedge or driver 7 into all the par 4s and was on or around in reg. Driver, 7 pw on the only par 5 that was in the 13 holes. 7iron on all the par 3's. Left me short on one par 3 but I chipped it up to gimme range

 

[Dave B]

54 degree wedge, 9 iron, 6 iron and 3 hybrid - The hybrid works great for putting and hits the ball 5 wood distance, (200 yds)

 

[JCW]

For me, Driver, 7i, PW, Putter.

Thank you and good night.

I go with that .................EYG

Four club challenge works best in dry conditions. Trying to run things in on a boggy wet course doesn't work as you have to fly everything to the pin.


The height of the summer with bone dry courses is where you can have the most fun manufacturing shots!

 

[the smiling assassin]

The last 3 years I have used 2H, 6I, 52*, P in ours - next year I'm changing tactics and will be going with D, 5I, 9I, P as I'm fed up of having to force too many shots to make the GIR!

 

[Rooter]

i would play 5 wood, 7 iron, 52deg wedge and putter.
