Lately, whenever I play my home course I carry only 10 clubs in my sunday bag, mixing it up a little bit each time I go out. Typically it looks something like this - Driver, 3w, 3hybrid, 5i, 7i, 9i, PW, 54*, 58*, Putter. Sometimes I swap around a little (leave driver at home for extra wedge or wood or long iron, etc). I figured it would be more of a challenge anyway since Vanny only measures about 6100 yards or so.

Does anyone else do this on courses that are on the short side?

Do your scores seem to suffer? I used leave a couple of irons out of my bag when I was walking 36. Now I have a push cart so wieght isn't an issue now.

On my local course I can take out my 7i, 8i, 3i and hybrid. I've used the 8i a few times, but it was a result of a badly hit 5i off the tee, normally not an issue anymore. I'll carry them for a tournament.

Honestly no. In fact they're either the same or better. It really has forced me to become a better shot maker - learning how to use a given club but differing trajectories for different distances.

That is what Dave Pelz said and I noticed as well. It doesn't matter if I don't have a 4 and 6 iron. I can just hit a smooth 5 and 3 iron instead. I can't remember the last birdie I made with anything less than a 6 iron.

For our Thursday work league, the course is around 5700 yards, so each 9 is around 2850. I would carry a 3 wood, 7i-GW, no sand so even left the SW in the car.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I guy that works for me played a round with 3i, 7i, pw, and putter. I think he shot 82 or 83 which is pretty typical for him.

Weight isn't really an issue either. I'm as tired after a round lugging 14 in a stand bag as I am with 10 in my mizuno 'scratch sac'

Usually when I'm paired up with someone I've never met they get really intrigued by the fact that I don't carry 14. I guess I'm just curious as to how many people do this on a regular basis these days.

I carry Driver, 2 hybrids, 5- PW, SW, and putter which comes to 11 clubs. I'm thinking of dropping the 7 or 8 iron to make it 10 clubs.

I carry 13 now that I sent my 60* to a watery grave in several pieces. That was over two years ago.

Improving my shotmaking skills is definitely one factor. I guess I just like the extra challenge for shorter courses.

Sometimes I even leave all woods, hybrids, driver out of the bag and carry only irons, wedges, and a putter and tee of from a closer tee box.

For me not really about shotmaking but just wanting to lighten up the bag. I find it much lighter with 3-4 clubs less. I don't carry many golf balls either.

Looking at your set, I'd def throw a 3w in there at least!

I play with a 10.5º Driver, 3W, 2-PW, SW, and a putter of course. So, that is 13 clubs. I'm still looking for another wedge to add in there soon. I've been playing for a few months, after a 3 year stint away from the game, and discovered that I need another club to help me out.

i saw a guy maybe two months ago coming onto the course late in the afternoon when the place was pretty quiet. he didn't even have his bag with him, he just had four clubs in his hand and some balls and tees in his pocket. i was at a bit of a distance, but it looked like he had a fairway wood, a putter, and two irons. i thought that was pretty neat.

i personally carry all 14 clubs - driver, 3w, 5w, 3-9, PW, 56, 60, and putter.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
