They fit, it's just a little snug. I used to carry a driver, 3-wood, 3, 4 and 5-hybrids, 6-pw irons 3 wedges and a putter and they all fit.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Besides, I'd rather my bag be a mess than to have my game be a mess because I'm constantly fighting my long irons.

Perhaps this is true ... HOWEVER, tell me how 3 or 4 hybrids, a couple fairways, and a 460cc driver fit in a golf bag !!!    LOL - it's rediculous trying to get all those hybrids in a golf bag assuming you use headcovers.    If you don't use headcovers, a golf bag full of hybrids sounds about like a decorated christmas tree bouncing down the fairway ... hey, I've been there with a bag full of hybrids & it's a mess ... something to consider.


I have no problems with: Driver, 15 degree 3W, 18 degree  Hybrid, 21 degree Hybrid, 4i down to W, U (approach wedge), 60 degree and a putter, and carry most of the time. I arranged my irons in a way that they don't hit each other, and have head covers on the hybrids and woods.

I ditched my 4i for a 4h - and am super happy.  i can do a lot more things with that hybrid.

I'm pretty much going to drop the 5w for the 2h also.  same reasons.  Harder decision, I like the 5w and how it sets up, I just like the 2h a tiny bit more - I can use the 2h anywhere I use the 5w, but can't use the 5w anywhere I use the 2h.

anyone want to buy a nearly new 4i? :-P

clubs with covers in my bag?  (Dr, 3w, 2h, 4h,.....putter)

I love my 4i, use it off the tee as well as on the fairway and under trees. I know I can drop the ball consistent 195+/- easy 3/4 swing, full swing 210+/- yards. I can aim it well so if I am going for a green or to get it close that is my go to. I have pushed this to 220 yards on a few par 3's, but that is a push and only make it 90% of the time.

My 3h is great for getting me down the fairway out of the ruff 200/220 yards with an easy swing, low ball flight with some roll not so great with the accuracy, but can keep it in the fairway, I will never use it if I am going for the green, I just don't control it that well..

I do have a 4w 16.5* but have only used this a few times in the last few months. It is great when I need to get the ball high and fast but to be honest not sure why I even carry it any more.

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
