Playing a hole with only one club

[tm22721]

The only way I could get my handicap down to 10 was to play within my limitations. So I decided to stick with the longest club that I consistently hit straight, 7i. Even off the tees, 150 yards. You are the laughing stock until scores are tallied.

i've played with the bare minimum, driver, 5 iron, sw, and putter. shot 4 over on 18 on my home course. most fun i had ever had playing and it's a great experience. it felt like an accomplishment.

I´d love to see the greenkeeper´s reaction when he finds you putting with a 5 iron...

I've never known that to be a problem unless one is chipping with an iron. Putting with an iron you usually try to belly the ball, meaning that the club is about 3/4" off the grass. It's actually less likely to stub that shot than it is if you are using a putter.

Personally I enjoy playing with odd numbered clubs one round, then even numbered the next. One day I used 4, 6, 8, pw and putter. The next time out I used 3, 5, 7, 9 and putter. No driver, no wedges. For the last 3 years I've done this a few times at the beginning of the season just to work on getting the cobwebs off. I started because I got tired of being 270 - 290 in the short stuff and not being able to hit a green. Now it's just for fun

Played first 4 holes in the back 9 with only my gap wedge and I was 2-over. I can skull my gap wedge about 150 yards.

I take no divots with a putting stroke, regardless of the club.

We always used to play 3 club golf on Captains day.
My weapons of choice were 4Iron,8Iron & I couldn`t be without my Trusted putter !

Playing a 9 holes course tomorrow with my 14 year old son, 8 year old daughter and her friend. I will play with at least 3 or 4 clubs, 5 iron, 9 iron, 56 wedge and putter.

A company I worked for had a two club tourney every year. I used a 4 iron and (I think) a 9 iron when I came in second. I putted the ball playing lefty using the back side of the 4 iron. A guy I played with suggested that I should putt that way all the time.

My friend wanted to play a game where our tee shots are our shortest (lengthwise; besides putter) off the tee. 2nd shortest for our 2nd shot. And so on and so forth. I told him that was the stupidest thing he's ever said and continued to play regular.

Played 9 holes with my 14 year old son and 8 year old daughter. I played with 5 clubs, ( 15 degree fairway wood, 5 iron, 9 iron, PW and putter) and shot 3 over.

My son shot 10 over and my daughter shot 46 or 19 over par with 27 putts on shorten tee boxes playing 1,022 approximate yards.

Swedish Player Johan Edfors played a medium hard Swedish Golf course with only a 6 iron (no putter or SW) a shot a 78. Pretty impressive.
