Poll: what is the most valuable club in your bag?

[KhalJimbo]

In monetary terms its either my Driver or my 3 Wood. Got them together in a deal for £199, so one of them cost me £100, the other £99, that, or they both cost £99.50. Which means they are equally my most costly club!

 

[TheCaddie]

If you're hitting full 7 irons to gimme range every time, you should be on tour. Either that, or you have very generous playing partners.

I think he is joking.

 

[hines57]

Piching wedge. Valuable for shots into the green and invaluable for scrambling around the green!

 

[Stan Yarmez]

I also hit every drive 350 yards straight down the middle Oh hang on are you talking about when I'm awake?

 

[delc]

Apart from my putter, the club I use the most is my gap wedge, for most shots from 90 yards in.

 

[ScienceBoy]

My putter is priceless! It's the one that makes the key putts and its my putter for life. No way is anyone buying that off me! Might take it if you offer me a few grand though but don't tell it that!

Certainly wouldn't sell my driver either, too good a match.

You could have my irons though, probably the highest price I would set, I got them for £200 but would not part with them for less than £300!

So yeah, most valuable is my irons as the putter and driver are feeling priceless!

Is this about monetary value or scoring value? I had assumed the latter.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Since I can't think of a reason why the monetary value of a single club would be remotely interesting as a poll, I can only assume this is to do with performance or preference and I'm afraid, I can't vote as I don't have a particular favourite. I am equally happy with every club in the bag, if I wasn't, it wouldn't be in the bag

 

[Siren]

Putter, its the only club that stays in the bag.

 

[ScienceBoy]

Is this about monetary value or scoring value? I had assumed the latter.

I read it as how much I would sell my club for based on its importance to me. Once a club is bought its value is then determined by how well it performs, how easy it is to displace from the bag (does something better keep coming along?) and what the resale value is.

Well that's my take anyway.

 

[JohnnyDee]

My Ping Sedona putter. Bought for me by HiD on behalf of my sons for Fathers Day 1999.

Don't think I'll ever change it as it's served me extremely well over the years.

Best £65 the JD family has ever spent on golf gear.

 

[Khamelion]

None of the options in the poll. The club I use the most is my 50 degree gap wedge, it's my 100yd club, I know if I hit it harder it'll go further, but from 100yds in, around the green, its' my go to club

 

[HickoryShaft]

4 iron for me - not exactly the traditional choice!

My go to club for several tee shots and will drop to that if my driver is misbehaving to give me the best chance of keeping it on the fairway.

Also used on the fairway extensively - don't carry a hybrid but comfortably hitting 190 - 195 with my 4i so good for most situations.

It is also the club I think least about how I swing as I always believe I am going to connect well so mindset is positive straight away - not the case with other clubs and fairway woods.

 

[Foliage Finder]

Having cottoned on to the actual meaning of the poll (not about financial value!), I would change my answer to my 8 iron. This is the club I hit most consistently on full swings and can carry it 150 yds. Gets me out of all sorts of pickles created on the tee by swinging like a madman, can double up for chipping and can also use off the tee for short/mid length par 3's. 9 iron even easier to hit but the carry is a bit too short for getting out of trouble from a short, errant tee shot with a decent way still left to the green.

 

[Dando]

I got the wrong idea and put my Scotty Cameron putter down (most expensive) but my go to club/s if I am struggling off the tee are my long irons but out of those I would have to say its my 4iron. I can hit a low draw to about 245 and more often than not its on the short stuff

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

I'm a bit surprised that the putter isn't the most valuable club for us all - for surely it is the one club that loss of would cause us most problems. Yes I can putt with my three iron - but I wouldn't bet on taking less than 36 putts in a round. I have alternatives for every shot I play - and for my chosen shot there will be a club I would prefer to use - but it either wouldn't be the only club I could use - or I'd choose a different option. But not really for putting.

My daughter has my old one.:thup:

 

[Stuey01]

In monetary cost to me the driver just shades the putter.
In monetary value, the putter is a limited edition that currently sells for well over retail cost so it's the putter.

In value to my game, on recent form since I got it, putter.

 

[bernix]

gone for fairway wood. use it a lot off the tee and off the deck. scoring wise maybe the SW cause i find myself in bukers frequently

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

So what club would folks use to putt if they didn't have a putter - I'd use a 3i. Doubt I'd better 36 putts and that would be 4-6 more putts than normal. Loss of any other club wouldn't have anything like that impact. Basically ever club in my bag has a pretty good replacement - except the putter. Unless I misunderstand the question surely that's going to be the case for most if not all of us?

What club can make the most difference if I am playing it really well? Again has to be my putter - but putting that aside (see what I did there) probably my 4 wood.
