Winter Months - how many clubs do you carry?

[WHSExpert]

1st November comes along! Its officially season over and winter golf is now upon us!

Don't about you but I put my electric trolley away and the carry bag comes out!

My regular bad consists of driver, 3 wood, hybrid, 4-PW, 52, 54,60 and putter. I'm going to try and condense this down to only 9 clubs.

Driver, 3 hybrid, 5,6,7,8,PW,54, Putter
or
Driver,3 wood, 4,6,8,9,PW,54, Putter

Just want to gather people thoughts and see what they will be doing?
Also any reconmendations for a good winter ball for a 9 handicapper?

Carrying all of them.

 

[Hosel Fade]

Carrying all of them.

Same here, in terms of ball I will use anything that isn't scuffed to shreds or repulsively hard (Velocity just missing the mark on that)

 

[patricks148]

same as summer. Play on a links so no trolley bans etc.

i tend to play any old ball over winter once the weather turns bad, but mostly a premium ball of some sort when its nice.

No change to the bag whatsoever. Same ball, same clubs. Why would you want to change?

 

[Alex1975]

No change for the most part until the trolley ban.

Hedgehog wheels on the trolley & same clubs as summer, with the 3 iron in on windy days & the 5 wood otherwise. I switch to Vice Drive balls, 79p each, & perfectly adequate when lots of backspin isn't a requirement.

 

[CliveW]

No change for me apart from a yellow ball if snow or frost.

None, trolley will get cleaned and put away, clubs cleaned and they may come out of hibernation, probably not.

 

[Imurg]

Don't carry any.....that's what trolleys are for....

 

[Hobbit]

I've looked on the American Golf website, and I can't see a carry! What colour do carries come in?

 

[Alex1975]

None, trolley will get cleaned and put away, clubs cleaned and they may come out of hibernation, probably not.

You just pack it all up for 5 months or whatever?

No change at all. Still carry full set as I do during the summer. Ball might change if the ground is really soft as I don't want to be losing premium balls in the winter with plugged balls/leaves etc.

 

[Region3]

Change nothing to do with the bag. If there's a trolley ban I won't be playing.

As for ball, try the Bridgestone e6.

Sometimes play the full set & trolley and sometimes a half set with the pencil bag - depends how I'm feeling and how busy the course might be. You can motor round with a light pencil bag if no-one is in front of you.

 

[shewy]

Only carry 12 anyway but if I wanted a lighter bag I'd drop my fw and 5 iron

 

[Orikoru]

I only carry 12 clubs anyway. In fact was 11 until recently. So I doubt I'll drop any.

 

[richart]

real men carry all year round.

 

[GeeJay]

I just carry on using my regular kit during the winter. I have a Motocaddy push trolley that gets used all year round unless there's a trolley ban in place. My bag is a Motocaddy hybrid, so it fits the trolley or can be carried comfortably if required. As for balls, I'm happy to hit anything that isn't like hitting a stone, but have a preference Wilson Staff DX2 and buy a couple of boxes when they're on offer at a local discount store. In the winter, I tend to use the yellow ones, though I don't have any of those at the moment so am still using the normal white ones.

I don't understand why people drop clubs from the bag.
Maybe if you're carrying 1/2 set in a pencil bag,but dropping 2 to 3 clubs just makes no sense to me.
