I'd putt with my 3-hybrid. do it frequently from off the green, might work on the putting surface as well

My 7 iron is easily the shot saver in my bag. I hit it clean everytime whether my tee shots, full fairway approach or even a little chip to the green. I think it is the length of the club that makes it work. It feels nicest & most comfortable at address.
Edit: Whoops! Just realised that this is "monetary" valuable not "playing" valuable.
As they are a package set they all cost the same I guess......

I don't think it's monetary is it? - that's surely a pointless survey - or maybe it is intended to find out what club you are willing to spend most on. But then surely that's always going to be either putter or driver and only if we buy new or current model clubs?

I just read back through some of the other posts & people were talking monetary....ah well. My 7iron is my go to club, & they all cost about £16 each......

It depends how you look at it. If the putter was removed from the bag I would be wrecked. If it was replaced with another brand I would probably still be ok. If the driver was removed or replaced I would be ok using my 3W. If my 55 degree wedge was removed I would have major problems but could get by.

I'm with you on this - how I see it.

I took it literally in the poll too....doh!
However, in terms of value to my game I'd still stick with driver. I have my favourite putter but believe I'd still putt OK with anything. The clubs between putter and driver aren't used enough to merit high value (can still score in a 5 club comp!) but being confident and consistent on the tee sets up a good round. I certainly couldn't just pick up any driver and drive well in the same way I could use any putter and do OK.

Something can cost you a lot of money and can end up being totally worthless to you; something might cost you almost nothing or be free - and be completely invaluable to you. As in life as in golf bats.

At the moment my pitching wedge is top dog.
Seems to be the answer to anything withing 80 yards.

Gone for driver because if I am not hitting good drives then I scored badly.

Putter - because I use it at least once per hole.
If you mean 'cost' then the Driver is most expensive in my bag ~£350 closely followed by the putter at £320!

I went for the sand/lob wedge option. Both Vokeys and have saved me countless shots.

Plumped for my putter, but my 7i, 5h and 5w ran it close!

Must be the Putter, you use it more than any other club, you change it more than any other club and curse it more than any other club!

If you were to forget to take your driver out with you can you not hit a 3w or 4w off the tee almost as effectively?

By far its my 7 iron. i can rely on it on a fairway of a tee and is my go to club when im just off the greens

Your savage with that 7 iron. We ever play battle golf that's the first club I'm taking off you.
at the moment I would say driver is my most valuable club as that gets me into positions were I can then hit wedge into the green and I'm pretty accurate (at the moment) with wedges.

Monetary value would be the driver but overall value to my game it has to be the hybrid so that's what I voted for.

It's my 5W played from so many fairway and rough positions around the course. I am not the longest hitter so get plenty of use from it, I also normally strike it really well and it gets me back into good positions.

In monetary terms it would be my 3 wood as that was bought new and both my driver and putter were sourced from the for sale section on here at knock-down prices.
In terms of value to me on the course I would say the 52 deg Vokey as it's my club of choice from 110 yards out, unless I have to avoid an obstacle of some sort, overhanging tree's or finding myself having to get up and down quickly over a bunker say.
