Club Usage Frequency

[Open-Faced Club Sandwedge]

How much do you use each club in your bag? I'll start:

Putter <- Most frequently used
58° LW
Driver
54° SW
4-hybrid
7i
GW, PW, 9i, 8i <- Use these four about equally often
6i
5w <- I rarely use these last 3, and when I do I probably shouldn't have
5i
3w

I don't actually track stats on these, this is just my estimate. Just curious if it lines up very closely with others.

Don't really think about this.. obviously wedges and putter the most though.

[zeg]

Probably something like:
putter [every hole]
52 degree wedge [almost every hole]
driver [most full tee shots]
4I [many approaches, a few tee shots]
9I
PW
[everything else]

It's sort of a toss-up between the driver and the 4-iron. On most courses, the driver for sure, but on my home course I have found I am better off teeing off with my 4-iron on a few of the par-4s since they're short--290 to 330 yards from the longest tees--so I leave myself a nice short iron approach. Other irons are on an as-needed basis. I tend to gravitate to the 7 iron, but it really doesn't come up that often during my usual rounds. There just aren't many 140-150 yard shots on that course.

[Chris223]

Putter, driver, wedge and the ole' reliable 7 iron. Then everything else.

[mdbuschsr]

Putter every hole (obviously), 60* LW almost every hole depending on lie and necessary run, 6-7i. Everything else is fitted in as needed. Driver, 3W, 4i from tee about 50, 30, 20 depending on the day and the hole.

[kris]

probably something like: putter, 56º, 3W, 5i, 7i, (52º, PW, 9,8,6), 4H, Driver, 4i, 5W

[Paradox]

putter
60
Driver
Pitching wedge
9i
hybrid
the rest are kind of the same not counting the tees of par 3's.

[double_j]

Depends on the course, but at my home layout:

putter
56
52
Driver
8 (normal shots & chips)
6,7,9, & PW (tie)
19 degree hybrid
5
4
3
3W

[Gioguy21]

Home course, assuming all GIR (chipping is done with either a 54 or 58):

Putter
Driver
3W
58
PW
5I
4I,6I,7I,8I (tie)
9I
2H,AW,54 (tie)

[Fourputt]

1) Putter
2) Sand Wedge (normal chipping on fast greens - home course running at 11)
3) Driver - PW (long chips as well as full shots from 100 - 110 yards) - 25° hybrid (trouble shots and anything from about 180-190)

All the rest

[Tweetie]

Putter
SW
Driver
3 hybrid

[BostonSully]

1) Putter (although lately this has been my #1 enemy on the course)
2) SW/LW
3) Drive
4) 7i/8i
5) 4i

[rwfastrax]

Putter
60 wedge
56 wedge
driver
5 wood, 5i and 6i... tee shot on shorter par 4s.
7,8,9,P and AW pretty much equally.

[trog2233]

At my home course....
Putter
56
Driver
AW-PW
7i-8i-9i (about the same)
3W
6i-5i (about the same)
4H-5W-7W

[ChipShot]

Typical hole for me goes something like this from tee to green: Driver, 7I, one of four wedges, putter. Other irons I use but not as often are 6, 8, and 9. I rarely hit my 5 and have never even pulled the 3I or 4I out of my bag on the course. So to answer your question I probably hit my 7I, or a wedge most often.

[saevel25]

Putter: 40% of the time
AW: 17%
Driver: 15% of the time
PW: 8%
SW: 6%
9-iron: 3%
LW: 2%
3-wood: 2% of the time
4-iron: 2% of the time
5-iron: 2%
6-iron: 1%
7-iron: 1%
8-iron: 1%

Roughe estimate off the top of my head

[golfro]

putter: every hole
60*: maybe once or twice a round
56*: most wedge or chip shots
PW-6i: Most approach shots for me
5i-4i: not too often used...tee off on long par 3's and long approach shots
5w: par 5 approach shots or tee off on short par 4's.
3w: I tee off with 3 wood quite often on narrow par 4's that are less than 400 yards. Appraoch shots are par 5's to get it on the green.
driver: Tee off on most holes with driver unless the fariway is narrow or if there is a strong dogleg that looks difficult to hit.

[B-Con]

Putter - Every hole, obviously
52* - Basically every hole, I've kept stats on what club I approach the green with on my last 3 games, and about 90% of the time it's my 52*
5i - I'm a short hitter so I pull it on most par-4s, all par5s, and I usually tee off with it on par-3s.
Driver - Every non par-3 hole, so about 14 holes
7i, 9i
PW
60* - Only for special shots that need to get high and/or not roll, usually once or twice a round.
SW - Prefer my GW and LW when not in the sand, and I rarely find the sand, so this almost never gets pulled

Just got new hybrids, so I'll see if I can replace some of my 5i with my hybrids.
