Depending on the hole and how its protected or orientated anything from my Hybrids 3i-5i and maybe a 4Iron. But its relative to what I see and how i feel when I step up to the tee box

why do you have a 4i, 5i hybrids and also the irons?

Aren't hybrids meant to replace irons?

A 19 degree hybrid would do the trick or a 3 iron if I'm hitting it real good that day.

4 wood if I mostly don't want to be short. 3 hybrid if I mostly don't want to be long.

3i or 2i depending on the wind direction or something like a 5i plus chip/pitch .... up and down ..... it is all about the landing zone, bunkers around the green etc. and there is nothing wrong with cutting the hole in half, just hit a 105 yds practice shot, and repeat the same shot another time ..... at hc 14 you can maybe even hit a bogey and still play a sound hole.

Yeah they are, but I use them to get a shot out of the rough, I hit my hybrids significantly better in rough. So I keep them in the bag.. lol Good question though. I tend to have a little more trouble punching an iron out of thick rough than a hybrid so I keep them in the bag..

    • Like Erik said, the rules really aren't that complicated. 99% of the time, it's put your ball down on the tee and hit it until it's in the hole. If you're on the green you can mark it and pick it up and clean it. Other than that don't touch it. Then there's what to do if you lose your ball or can't play it or hit it in a penalty area. Those are also pretty easy. The only time it gets complicated is when you do something wrong. There was that example of a pro who marked his ball, threw the ball to his caddie to clean it. The caddie missed the ball and it went into a lake beside the green. Couldn't get the ball back. Ball is not lose because it's marked. Ball can't be replaced because there's no reason to replace it within the rules, so what do you do? That's a more complicated example and the rules wind up being as long as they are because they need to pretty much cover all plausible scenarios and ensure that everyone comes to the same conclusion given the same situation.  As to the ball lost in the rough, yes it's annoying when it happens, but you just have to suck it up and deal with it. I remember playing in a tournament at St Andrews when I was at university. It was 72 holes, with two rounds on the Old and two rounds on the New. Fourth round playing the Old and I was playing half way decent. Hit a really good drive on 16, straight down the fairway, just left of the principal's nose. Get up there and...no ball. No sign anywhere. Not even anywhere it could be - it was literally fairway or wispy rough everywhere. I don't know if a seagull pinched it or what. I started to go back to the tee and a ranger came over and asked where I was going. I said I had to go back to the tee. He said I couldn't do that because Old course and play has to keep moving. I said I was playing in a tournament and I had to. He gave me a ride back to the tee, I hit another one in the same place, he drove me back and my second ball was right where it should be in the fairway (and where the first ball should have been!). That was about 30 years ago and I'm still sour about it. Doesn't mean I think the rule should change.

    • Yeah, the two-stroke penalty has you hitting four, but you're basically guaranteed you get to be in the fairway. So it's even better than hitting a provisional which you could, you know, hit in the rough, OB, in the trees, etc.
    • Yes, I'm going to cap it at 12 for Sunday; I need to finalize tee times with the course this week so I'm going to cancel the last tee time. Regarding games...here is what @iacas and I came up with.  I like the team aspect...and would encourage folks to dress accordingly!  🙂 There will also be a net skins game each day (with the remaining $10). Teams Saturday - Reserve Run 1. @MiuraMan, @vasaribm, @dennyjones, @StuM 2. @DinnerTime, @Carl3, @rwolfe, @ChetlovesMer 3. @Hardspoon, @iacas, @DaveP043, @billchao Sunday - Cranberry Highlands 1. @vasaribm, @MiuraMan, @StuM, @rwolfe 2. @DaveP043, @saevel25, @dennyjones, @billchao 3. @DrizZzY, @Daniel Mc, @Huffy, @OBlum 4. @Hardspoon, @iacas, @DinnerTime, xxx Rules Team play - blue vs. red overall. Winning team takes all (+$10 each). Each day is a separate competition. Each two-player team must count 9 net (80%) scores per nine holes, with a minimum of 3 scores from each player per nine for a total of 18 scores. Scores are counted relative to par. Scores must be decided and counted before anyone tees off on the next hole. On one hole per nine, the opposing twosome can select one of the players on the other team whose score must count on that hole as long as the team hasn't gotten to their 9 counted scores for the round yet. They must choose the other player on the other nine. (So, team A/B can force C/D to count C's score on hole 4, and D's score on hole 15.) This must be announced before anyone tees off on that hole. The total team score to par (net) will determine the winning team for the day.
