What would be your fifteenth club?

I only have 12 clubs..............

I'm feeling quite smug this morning cos i've just 'decoded' your numbering system (I admit it had me baffled for a bit)

I had every confidence that you'd figure it out.

You're from the UK, not Alabama.

It's just a 16 degree driving iron
It's got a wide base and is hollow from the late 80s

I used to have a full set of those
Shows that some of today's ideas are not actually new. They were foam filled heads.

For those that are suggesting having one club in the opposite hand to their normal ones I would suggest giving on a go on the range. I tried it once and could not hit the ball for toffee. These days I just 'back hand' a standard club.

OK, I've been convinced that there are technical reasons beyond vanity lofts why modern irons have a different club number / loft correlation than do classic irons.

I accept the arguments, and now change my position to....

even with modern club head technology, I would SUBJECTIVELY CHOOSE different stamping protocols if they were offered.



Then, if a fifteenth club were allowed, I'd choose a specialty sand iron with curved leading edge.

Good grief 15 clubs - I have enough trouble getting 14 to behave...

Used to play social golf with the lads . One a lefty.
So on par 3s we would play left handed and my mate would have to play right handed.
We had some great laughs, but only if nobody’s behind ,you could win the hole with a 9/10.
