Think we had one winter since I was a member with carry only, but they did so much drainage work that it's hedgehog wheels and no buggies soon and that will be it

Depends how I feel and what we’re doing - if we’re just out for 9 I’ll carry the full set. Otherwise, I’ve got a Sunday/pencil bag and it’ll be Driver, 4, 6, 8, pw & 58 degree wedge. The vastly annoying thing is I really don’t find a score much differently!

Same here. Scores not radically different.
A few years back my best round of the season was in the 3 clubs + putter comp.
Bit still always take a full set when using wheels.

I do have a super light bag, so I was okay. However a full set of steel shaft irons affected me.
So now graphite shafts all round.. just thinking more about the 7 wood and 6iron .. realistically I would not need them because even where I would use a 3 wood I could reduce my driver or accept a longer 2nd shot.
If I pop in my hybrid instead and set it to 200-210 yards that should be okay .. so that’s got everything covered I think.

I try to only take what clubs I’ll get decent amount of use from for any round at any time of the year, whether carrying or not. That usually means taking a dozen as a maximum even with a buggy (can’t abide taking clubs to not use or use only once)

That’s my intention as well, and I think if you know your yardages and where you get to on the course you can set the bag up.
I also have taken the view that if I don’t have that distance in my bag I play up to my favourite short range or I accept that I may be slightly short and if the hole/bunker layout allows I do that.

Yeah its not going down to half set its something in-between
My 3w and 4iron often give pretty similar distance (especially into the wind) so I'll choose which one to take even though I have club capacity to take both.
The course, weather, tees, comp/GP all make that choice for me
I hate that I need to carry a rock club (course has a lot of subsurface volcanic rock off the fairways) otherwise that would be another I could drop (currently a beat up 9iron & my ocd wont let me drop the shiny 9iron that I use off fairway, so I kinda have a 'double' in there)

When I play our 9 hole course I slim the bag down (even though I use a buggy)
There is only one hole that I can use a driver on and it is a par 5 on so that is.
One or two of the wedges go
Sometimes the putter goes because the greens are so different to the 18 hole course (I just putt with a wedge)
I may just go to every other iron.
When I play down there for practice I often just take a 5 or 6 iron and one wedge.

No change for me. I will put a rain cape on the trolley if its wet and if its carry only then I'll be moving to a motocaddy hydroflex waterproof bag

I'm normally putter, SW, PW, 8, 6, 4, 2H, driver.
Even then I might drop the 4 or 2H depending on conditions.

Never play more than 8 clubs anyway, sometimes drop to 7:
Driver, 5w, 7w, 6i, 8i, C wedge (42 degree), 56, putter
Playing short courses I drop the driver.

I never give it much thought about what I have in the bag- same for all courses, all seasons. Just the same boring 13 clubs

Home course I carry in the winter to keep the powakaddy clean!
I'll take out a rescue, odd number irons and two wedges to keep it light enough to carry.
Sometimes I change even number irons to odd, just for practice
Will be spending more time at the seaside playing proper golf this winter! Full bag etc!

Only in the most extreme weather will we have a ban on trolleys....and to be honest, when that happens the course isnt the most playable and I generally don't bother. So no need for a winter setup for me....if I do anything though it is to leave the lob wedge out of the bag....no fun getting a face full of muddy slop when it digs in to soft wet Earth.

I only use a trolley for competitions in the summer to be honest.
Most the time I carry but winter kind of makes some clubs pointless..
Hopefully today I will get time to hit some balls with R10 at work out the distance gaps and fudge the hybrid or 7 wood ( 7 wood is a bit long and I don’t have the ability to control 3/4 shots)

When Carrying At Nairn over winter i would either just take a half set or use Hickorys. No comps and short course. At Tain last year they played counting comps every week so i just used the full set (13 clubs)
