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.

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'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.

3 Wood

5 Iron

8 Iron

PW

Putter


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.

    • Three women were playing on the fourteenth hole, walking up to the green when out of the bushes come a very well endowed masked naked man running across the green in front of them, into the bushes on the other side.   The first lady gasped and said, "That wasn't my husband"  The second lady sighed and said, "That wasn't my husband"  The third lady said, "That wasn't anyone from THIS Club!"

    • Played 9 yesterday at Cape Ann in Essex, MA. Played awful with maybe 4 really good shots but the course is so beautiful being right on the water it's hard to be to upset. I haven't practiced in forever so I'll need to get going on that.  Been better getting to the gym since I've been out here in NH. I came out from Minnesota for my well being so I figured I should be working on just that. Still hovering around 226 which surprises me as my sister in law feeds me quite well. Excited to be back east for the Celtics coronation. Go Celts!!!
