If you could only take 5 clubs around your usual course what would they be and why? I would find it fairly hard to play to my handicap with just 5 clubs.....

Also if you 're up for a challenge, go play your course with the 5 clubs you chose, come back here with you 're score. Best score wins a drink on me!

I have done this before, and I used putter, GW (52 deg), 7 iron, 4 iron, and 3 wood. It's really not as difficult as you might think. You just have to plan ahead your shots so that you have a distance you know you can hit without having to try something you wouldn't normally do. I don't remember exactly what I shot, but it wasn't very high. If you want a real challenge, try playing a whole round using just one club. It's actually pretty fun.

Fore!


I would choose putter (about 50% of all strokes are putts), 18 degree hybrid, 6 iron, 9 iron, SW.
Driver: Callaway FT-IQ 10° I-Mix 5w: Callaway X Hybrid: 21º Open CT
4-5: Mizuno MP Fli-Hi 6-PW: Alpha C1 Pro
52º, 56º,60º Callaway X-Tour
Putter: Cleveland Classic 4

I´ll go with only four :

- 4 wood (17º)
- 6 iron
- Sandwedge (54º)
- Putter

Hibore XLS 10.5º Yellow Reg
909F3 13º Mitsubishi Diamana Blue Reg
Big Bertha 17º Reg
585.H 21º Graphite 4175 Reg
804.OS 4-9 Graphite 3975 Reg Vokey Spin Milled 48.06 54.14 60.10 Tess G2 35" ProV1XHome course: Ria de Vigo Golf Vigo (SPAIN)


I've done 3 clubs before but never 5.
I would take:
  • 3 Wood
  • 6 Iron
  • 53°
  • putter
  • Ball retriever
And it isn't likely that I would hit my handicap....even though those are the clubs that I typically use the most (replacing the 3 wood with a driver).

(EDIT: Ok. After playing a few holes in my head with these clubs......I probably could hit my handicap or be really close to it.)

I'd take my Driver, 23* hybrid, 7i, GW, putter

My Bag:

Fairway: Wishon 949MC 16.5*
Hybrid(s): Cobra Baffler DWS 20*Irons: 6-PW Mizuno MP-52. 5i Mizuno MX-23Wedges: Cleveland CG12 DSG 56/10Putter: Rife 2-Bar Hybrid


i've done this with my dad before when he was teaching me how to play last year.

5 iron off the tee
5 iron 2nd shot
sand wedge 3rd shot
and then the putter.

so we did it with 3 clubs. if i could add 2 more clubs, i'd add 3 wood and then a 3 iron.

this is really not unusual for me because when I started golf it was just with a few clubs. You can actually play pretty well this way and develop the feel for a lot of shots. You really get to learn how to use your hands.

    • Causation does not equal correlation. Just because he "got jacked" doesn't mean that was what caused him not to win a major from 2015-2024.  There are so many reasons other than "he was too jacked to make good swings under pressure" as to why he didn't win from 2015-2024. First, winning a major is HARD. It requires a lot of luck and things to go your way over the course of 72 holes. Second, there were so many good players that came along and won majors during that time period. The longer time goes on the harder and harder it becomes to win because the skill level of professional golfers as a whole increases over time. Third, sometimes you straight up get beat, like in 2022 Rory lost to Cam Smith who shot an 8 under 64 in the final round. Rory shot a bogey free 70 and hit every single GIR.  There were plenty of other things besides "he got too jacked to make good swings under pressure" as to why he didn't win from 2015-2024.  In fact, since the 2015-2016 season, Rory has been inside the top 10 in Strokes Gained Tee to Green EVERY SINGLE SEASON. Think about that for a second. 9 straight seasons he was in the top 10 of a key statistical area measuring full swings and you're trying to argue that he was too jacked to make good swings under pressure while offering no facts or stats that support your claim in any way?? C'mon man that's a horrible take.
    • Caught up on the last two. The flow is going great. I enjoyed episode 4 with the hated drills. Good talk. I have not been interested in podcasts in quite some time until this one.

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
    • You have no proof that Rory's perceived "jackedness" was hindering him from hitting the crucial shots under pressure at the majors. I don't think his jackedness caused Rory to miss a combined like 7 feet of putts over the last 2 holes at the 2024 US Open.
