Does It matter whats in the bag if it is all legal - Page 2

I used to run a golf league and one week a year we'd have "Specialty Night"  Golfers were allowed 2 clubs and a putter. Many grumbled and moaned about how that's not really golf, but many were surprised that they shot no worse or even better without their whole bag.

 

You guys talking about a 1 iron.....have you checked the specs on clubs lateley?  Present day clubs with longer shafts and stronger loft make today's 3 iron almost the same as the 1 irons.

 

After Lee Trevino had his near miss with lightning at the Western Open years ago, he was seen walking down the fairway holding a 1 iron in the air. His explanation was "not even God can't hit a 1 iron."

Honestly, for me i could play a hole round with just the 3-wood off the tee. Depending on how i play the ball in my stance i can vary the yardage and work it from left to right a lot better than my driver. Damn thing is a beast i tell you.


I stopped playing golf about 15 years ago and just recently took it up again. Getting used to the new huge headed driver has been a little bit of a challenge. They hit further than the old ones, but they seem less accurate. When I get a hold of one, I can hit it almost 300 yards. I just have trouble keeping it straight.

I agree with you on the 3 wood. Not as much distance, but a lot more controlable. If I was smart, I'd toss the driver and stick to the 3 wood. The problem is that it's so much fun to hit a huge drive; it gets addicting. There's nothing quite like the feeling of piping a long one straight down the middle.

I carry one kilo of coke, three cases of Cuban cigars and 2 machine guns and I have no problems.... As far as hitting any club, it is all in your head. Hit what you feel comfortable with.
