Hi all,

I've attempted to see if this was already covered...

I am pretty new to golf having spent the last couple of years going to the driving range casually and have taken to the course circa 10 times.

I would like to take some advice on which clubs i should be holding in my bag.

My current set up in as follows

  • Ping G30 (white dot which are 1.5 inch longer) 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, PW, SW
  • Ping G30 Hybrid (4) 22 degree
  • Ping G30 Driver (1) 10.5 degree
  • Spider Putter

Couple of things which i am thinking about.

  • Secure a LW (58deg) as the most aggressive wedge i have at present is the SW (54 deg)
  • The Hybrid i have feels like it could be useful but feels short, i.e. i have white dot irons but this is standard length, would you recommend getting this extended?
  • Is there any other clubs which you feel could be useful to me?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Others may recommend differently, but I would look at your gaps and pick your clubs accordingly, for instance your hybrid might replace your 4 or 5 iron, so you drop one of those and replace it with a 3/5W.

Regarding the extending of a club, get fit; once fit, get accurate distances for each club, then make a decision and where to drop/add clubs based on the gaps

    • Day 107 - More pitching practice, playing around with trajectory. 
    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.
    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
