Date: May 16th, 2025 2:06 PM Author: judgmental bawdyhouse a "set" of clubs seems so ridiculous.
if the pga limited players to four clubs what would actually happen? |

Date: May 16th, 2025 2:10 PM Author: snowy haunting really tough guy Good hypo. Scores would go up, but not by all that much. Those guys can calibrate a seven iron to do basically whatever they want. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48937182) |

Date: May 16th, 2025 2:27 PM Author: multi-colored spot Driver
7 iron
9 iron
GW
LW
And I’d really like a 5 hybrid
Putter
So 7 |

Date: May 18th, 2025 10:55 AM Author: fragrant charcoal plaza trust fund club I grew up playing actually had a tournament where you only used a 6 iron, pw and a putter in memory of the old club manager who did just that. Was a fun time.
Four clubs I would do driver, 50* wedge, 7 iron and putter. I’d maybe consider adding a wedge and putting with the edge of it. Would give space for a longer approach club. |

Date: May 18th, 2025 11:22 AM Author: lime address I brought a vacation 1/2 set and didn't feel like it hurt me at all. Maybe 1 or 2 shots where I unsuccessfully took something off an iron because I was caught in between clubs and missed the green long. If I stretched it out to 10 or 11 clubs I probably wouldn't feel like I was missing anything. DR 4h 6i 8i PW SW putter

that’s all you need |

Date: May 18th, 2025 11:46 AM Author: lime address 3W and 5W might the 2 most redundant clubs in the bag. The average amateur hits a 5w off the deck farther than 3w when you factor in miss hits and balls that don't get sufficiently airborne.

Date: May 19th, 2025 9:00 AM Author: narrow-minded windowlicker u need more than that: 1W, 3W, 5W, putter, but the absolute most important clubs in ur bag (for scoring) are the irons (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48943441) |

Date: May 25th, 2025 6:57 PM Author: dino bravo I played at a very high level for a while with no 5 wood. Having an extra wedge >>>> yardage gap from not having something in the 19* range (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48961158) |

Date: May 18th, 2025 11:44 AM Author: beady-eyed shivering gas station mood Four clubs would be fun.
3 wood 9 wood 7 iron 52 degree wedge
If putter is one of the four then 5 wood 7 iron 52 degree Putter |

Date: May 18th, 2025 12:08 PM Author: henna heady range alpha it’d be pretty entertaining to watch pros some doods would still go pretty low.
four i’d probably go
4w 7i a couple wedges, probably my 52 and 60 which i would putt with. ideally for this probably get a wedge that was a little stronger, 49 or 50 to replace the 52
playing with 8-9 clubs is credited for a light bag without giving up much. driver, 4 or 5w, 4 iron or hybrid, 6, 8, some wedges and a putter |

Date: May 25th, 2025 10:42 PM Author: Cowghost Absolute minimum would be 5: 3W 7i PW (most versatile) 56 (2nd most versatile) Putter |
|
Date: May 25th, 2025 10:51 PM Author: hank_scorpio that's way too big a gap early in the bag, if you're going that low one wedge will do just fine (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48961475) |
|
Date: May 25th, 2025 11:04 PM Author: Cowghost You need at least a SW (54-56) to get out of deep bunkers and to chip
If that's your only wedge you'll have a huge gap at the bottom of bag
3W is versatile enough that you can hit it 130 to 200 or more off the tee including bump shots |

Date: May 25th, 2025 11:28 PM Author: hank_scorpio 3w is one of the least versatile clubs (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48961532) |

|
Date: May 25th, 2025 11:31 PM Author: hank_scorpio well that is part of the problem, most people don't love their 3w, a lot of golfers with a full bag would be better off skipping it (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5725952&forum_id=2#48961542) |

Date: May 25th, 2025 11:21 PM Author: dha tux ( ) until recently i'd typically play with driver, 5H, 6i-9i, pw 44, sw 54 and a putter, all in a small/light sunday loma xl bag.
i typically bring everything now, but still don't know how to hit my fairway woods. |
