when I was in college, my dad beat me with a 5-iron and a putter! We always walked and it was hot so he thought he'd just bring a 'couple of clubs!'

Unless he is a touring pro, I would take the bet and double up ^^

Ditto that. But tell him you will double up the bet, but he can only use his driver. :)

Hopefully it's not too late, politely refuse this bet.


If you win - you're the guy that beat the guy who was playing with one club.

If you lose - you're the guy that lost to the guy playing with only one club.

Either way, you lose.

If you do play him make sure you wath all his pitchs or chips onto the green,they should all release and give you a read for a lot of your putts.

haha, perfect quote.

My money is on the pro, I don't think it just randomly came up, he's probably done it before and is trying to hustle you for money

I have never played a round with just one club. However, years ago, after working a night shift and talking alot of smack about my golf game (3 handicap ten years ago), I challenged 2 guys at work (one was a solid 8-10 and the other one was high teens handicap) to a match, they scrambled, I played with 6 iron through putter. It was a tight match, until I started trying to hood the 6 iron on a few par 5's and started pull hooking them pretty bad. If I recall, they scrambled for a 78, while I finished in 83 strokes. Not too bad, but it could have been better if I had stayed with my original plan of hitting routine shots and not trying to create more than my clubs would allow.

Wasn't Roy a multi-talented sports star? Like Deion Sanders and Danny Ainge... wasn't he a pro pitcher as I recall and dated a movie actress, right? Or am I thinking about a different guy?

Haha, you're thinking of someone else. Roy McAvoy is Kevin Costner's character in the movie Tin Cup.

  • 4 weeks later...
Ended up with a bet today - a local pro challanged me to beat me with a 6iron only - strokeplay over 9 holes - no shots. I could use all my clubs, he only 6iron - no putter or wedges - we play same tees. We probably play front 9 so a lot of elevated greens - heavily sloped greens (have fun chipping a 6iron or pitching 6iron into these greens esp. if they are dry - ball wont hold).

Kafka01?????

What happened? Did the match take place? Inquiring minds you know...

No problema! I was just thinking about you last night checking up and cleaning out some of my subscribed threads and came across this thread.

I trust the weather in your part of the world is allowing you to play some good golf. Here in the state of Ohio, the weather has been perfect for the past two weeks. Hit'm straight!

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
