5 Clubs in your bag, what would you take with you?

[PeterPumpkinEater]

Coming from the Black Country, the joke from over there when you tell people that you play golf is "All yow need mar mon is a Pisser and a Putter!".

This got me thinking to arrange a competition with my mates to only take 5 clubs (one of which obviously has to be the putter) for a round, as surely this will really be a test of your skill than having 14 clubs to choose from.

I would take the following:-

Driver
3iron hybrid 19deg
7iron
SW (56deg)
Putter

Have any of you lot tried this before?

 

[Twire]

Alot would depend on what course i'm playing..

My last club used to have the 3 clubs and a putter comp at xmas time. You would be supprised at the high (stableford) scores that used to come in. I think having so few clubs does'nt confuse your choice, and you have to manufacture a lot of shots.

For me on my home course now it would be

3 wood
#4 rescue
8 iron
sand iron
Putter

 

[hackamore]

For my course, 3w, 6i, 8i, 52 wedge and putter

 

[ColinR]

I'd go for

3W
6i
9i
52 wedge
Putter

I think that is what I use for 805 of my shots anyway !!!

We had a night golf thing the other week, and were only allowed 5 clubs. I took....

4, 6, 8, 52 degree wedge and a putter. My longer clubs are iffy at the moment and I can hit my 4 iron more consistently than those.

3 fruit ones, a plain one and a mint one....Mmmmmmm

Cripes why did they get rid of those Jacobs Clubs - only matched in chocolate biscuit land by the perennial favourite Kit Kats.

As a youngster I was once paid in Club biscuits rather than cash for cutting firewood.....seemed like a good deal at the time!

 

[OldWindy]

Bostin phrase PPE.

Gotta be 3w,5i,8i,SW,putter. Good idea about the xmas comp with reduced clubs.

 

[CarpeDiem]

Driver, Putter, 8i, 5i and 52*

My favourite clubs

....tumbleweed rolls past window!....

 

[tincup]

3w,6i,9i,sw and putter

 

[ricardodaintino]

I'd take:
Putter
52' wedge
8 iron
5 iron
3 wood

Unless I was Woosnam, then i'd add an extra club in for good measure!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

3W 5 iron, 8 iron, 52 wedge and putter

 

[Deleted member 1147]

3 wood - from tee & long range fairway
Rescue - rough, long range and choke down for long iron shots
8 iron - mid-range, choke down & chipping
sand wedge - pitching, chipping & bunkers
putter - obvious really

 

[SammmeBee]

3 wood
6 iron
9 iron
SW
Putter

 

[viscount17]

those I think I need for the course;

driver, 5-i, 8-i, PW & putter

 

[Herbie]

Depends on the course....
Some courses I would take Driver/8 iron/9 iron/PW/Putter

Others it would be 3W/5 iron/7 iron/PW/ Putter.

Interesting thought on club selection here. I think I'd drop the driver or 3 wood and go with an all irons assembly.

I'd base this on what clubs are likely to be more usefull on short par 4s and the par3s. Two 4 irons into a short par 4 are just the same as a driver and a wedge, but I can play the 4 off the turf more easily than the driver!

I'd go for 4,6,8, 52°W & putter. But thats my selection for my home course.

 

[madandra]

I would have :

Driver
5 iron
8 iron
56* wedge
putter.

 

[Smiffy]

I would have :

Driver
5 iron
8 iron
56* wedge
putter.

Apart from substituting the Driver with a 3 wood, I would be carrying the same.
