One club for an entire round of golf....Which one would it be??

I would choose a 5 iron as I need a little more distance with my shorter swing. Really cool thought though, has anyone ever tried it out? Even for nine holes?

The best "known" round of golf with 1 club was John Daly. (7 iron)

No I believe it was by Roy McAvoy

I think I'd go with my Hybrid only because I can putt better with that compared to my 6 iron.

Would be either the 6 or 7 iron.... Would depend a lot on the course (long, lots of trouble, etc, etc)

Irons: r7 TP's
Wedges: RAC TP Black 52/56/60

I would play my hybrid. You can hit it a decent distance off the tee, you can use it to chip, and it's better to putt with than an iron.

i would rather hit a 6 iron for shorter-than-full-swing distances...let's say 120 yard to the pin, but i'm actually ok at making little knock down shots with the utility club.

A 7-iron for me. If I really want to blast it I could probably hit it 200 yards with a big hook. I can also get out of bunkers and hit some shorter shots pretty high, too.

With a hybrid I don't see how you people are going to play any shots that require loft.

Given three clubs, I would choose a 3W, a 5-iron, and a 9-iron. I'd putt by blading the 9-iron (I often practice putting with a PW).

I have never tried one club. I have played with 3 invoving a not so friendly bet with a person who had a problem counting their strokes . I bet him $100.00 I could beat him with only 3 clubs as long as witnesses kept the scorecards. Since his claimed handicap was an 8 and he really played to about a sixteen it wasn't even close. I carried a 7 wood, 6 iron and a putter.

I would probably choose the 5 iron, the shortest club I could hit and have a chance of paring par 5s.

After disgusting, horrific round I decided I'm not up to "real golf" anymore and I played with 7 iron only (incl. putting) holes 13 through 18 on my home course. Managed to score 4 over on 6 holes, including a sand shot from a deep bunker and a chip-in on 18th for a par
it was the BEST scoring streak of my round that day !

If I could find a course without deep greenside bunkers, I'd use a short shafted hybrid. But failing that, an 8 iron would be my choice.

It would be a tossup between my 5-iron, 6-iron, and 7-iron. In the end, I'd just split the difference and choose the 6-iron. It has just enough loft to chip a little, and I could hit it close to 200 yards from time to time. As for putting, it really wouldn't matter. I think you can blade just about anything if you really put your mind to it.

i would have two concerns, reaching the par 5's, and bunker shots out of steep faced bunkers. toss up between a 5 and a 6. would probably go with the 5 iron.

8 iron. When I was a kid a group of us junior members would go out once every couple of weeks and play 9 holes with just one club and I always took my 8 iron. I think the best I ever managed was a couple over and I'd never have more than about a bogey a hole averaged over 9 and it was a very long course.

Our club pro used to give all of the kids free lessons once a week and he was always going on about being able to hit all kinds of different shots with every club in the bag and the one club play was his way of getting us to be creative.

You'd be surprised just how well you can putt by blading a short iron.

I'll have to try this out!

Realistically if it is a long tough course then it would be any club that you can hit around 220-230, that is if you intend to make pars. Some do hit their 5 irons that far but for me it would have to be a Hybrid.

Two strokes of 230yds brings you on the green on the 460 yd monsters and anything less, the par 5's can be bumped and run onto in 3.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      47+49 for a 96. Just lost it today. Two way miss off the tee. Could not hit a decent iron. Three putted like at least 8 holes. Not good when the short game is the best part of the day 😭😭

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      Phillyk is very close by. Ok, I understand how the watch and tags are meant to be used, but I was just curious how it actually works. I can't really think of any other way than what I mentioned above. No worries. If it works it works. I'll probably pick one up. My co-worker mentioned a free app called 18 Birdies which offers similar services. However I personally do not like keeping my phone in my pocket while golfing, nor do I want to be clicking around on the phone while out on the course. I toss my phone in my bag and leave it there until I am done golfing. Tapping a club head to a watch seems wat more convenient.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, but not always the case. IMHO, green speeds are a huge variable and can effect score variation from week to week or month to month significantly. Our own course that is running at about 8-9 depending on the week/day, can run up to 12 (no kidding) in peak months around certain event, and most like me score 3-4 shots higher on an average, missing a lot of 3-4 footers. There are any PCC adjustments that I am aware of. Have you every played their course? I am betting $20 you will find some answers if you haven't already.
