a "set" of clubs seems so ridiculous.

if the pga limited players to four clubs what would actually happen?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

that's way too big a gap early in the bag, if you're going that low one wedge will do just fine

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

seems great for those who can actually hit it as it can fill in for both driver and fairway wood (i can't hit a 3W)

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

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.
