it's in between clubs for me, but up here in the northeast with our high humidity and low temps I'm hitting a 5 iron. If I'm in Vegas (and I am a lot) I'm probably hitting a gap wedge

It can get seriously windy where I play, 30mph is not that uncommon, so I can hit anything between a 3-wood and a 6 iron from 200 yards. That said with no wind and I'm striking the ball well then I'll pull my 4 hybrid out.

Most of the time I'll go with my 4-Hybrid, though if the situation calls for it I might hit my 5-wood.

Off the tee, a 4 iron. At times, I'll use a 3 hybrid if I'm hitting it well beforehand.

Driver......I wanna get there! Seriously, wind and how I'm hitting it that day, anywhere from 5i to 3H. I suppose on average I'd use a 4i.

early in the round, and still sober? I hit a 4 iron....

Around 14th, pressing? opt for the hybrid.

i believe the average male golfer only hits the ball around 200yards, reading this thread i have to assume that the average golfer on here hits a 5 iron 200yards a driver 310.

watching the scottish open yesterday and the majority of pros were hitting 4 iron on 190 yard par 3

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
