Do you swap clubs in your bag to suit different types of courses/conditions?
Maybe different wedges for links courses or different putter for slow/fast greens or an extra wedge and no driver for tight courses ?

Yeah I have an extra hybrid that comes and goes to suit how the course is playing or if I think I need more choice on longer approach shots.

Nope.

My home course is where I play most of my golf so I have my bag set up for that.

When I play a diferent course, I use the same clubs and make course management decisions based on what faces me when I step up to the ball.

If I've never played the course before, I'll invest in the courses' planner and look for my yardages. If thy don't have a planner I'll cob the information off a friends GPS, and play to those.

In the process of hunting out a 5 Wood to see if thats of more benefit to me than my hybrid is for the summer for some tee shots.

Putters always getting swapped out, have just ordered another new one from clubhouse golf to try out! Better not tell HID!

Seriously thought about buying a new set of irons yesterday.
Last game I said I would swop my two spot putter for my bullseye for the summer.
I did neither and played my best golf for years today.

Begs the question.......can clubs hear.
