If you could only play a round with 5 clubs what would they be...?

1. Driver

2. 3hi (20*)

3. 8 iron

4. Gap wedge (52*)

5. Putter

I might switch the 3hi for a 5 iron based on course length and conditions.

This.  I'd forego a putter as well, putt with the wedge...  Option 2 would be ditch the 9i and SW and put in a PW and putter... probably go with option 1 though.

I don't understand ditching the putter. I couldn't bear to play without the #1 scoring club in the bag. I can piece together a short game or a long game, but blaming every missed putt on using a wedge seems dumb to me.

If it was me, I would play Driver, 3h, 6 iron, 52*, putter.

I'd putt with my wedge. It's not that hard to putt with a wedge as long as you've had some practice. Ideally for these less than full bag matches, I am looking to pick clubs that will give me a chance to hit as many GIR or just be off the green. So I'd like to spread out the long clubs and trust my short game on the sand wedge/9-iron.

    • Yes. The full swing is not that different, and speed is important with all of them. You don't see Tour players hitting their driver 310 and then hitting their 7I 160. Of course, but they're nothing like those for the full swing.
    • How about with the high numbered irons such as the 9 iron? Is the swing the same with that? If that's the case then I stand corrected.  OK, although there is physics involved in the putt too. 
    • I have a master's in Spanish linguistics and I like black holes.
    • I didn't say it was unfeasible. That's not what you said. And… be careful there. Not around the club's COM, man.
    • Our public course has red penalty areas marked with red stakes. The stakes are imprecisely placed, often overgrown or missing. Our golf club has no control over how the stakes are placed. We have therefore decided to create a local rule to define the penalty areas by physical features and ignore the red stakes.  Also, most of the currently marked penalty areas are because of an overgrown creek behind dense ground vegetation. The penalty areas are marked (roughly) at the edges of the dense vegetation (see picture example). Players cannot see the creek. The dense vegetation looks the same on holes where there is no creek and no penalty area. For consistency and to reduce confusion, we have decided to define all edges of dense ground vegetation as penalty area.   This adopts a popular USGA recommendation from 2019. Committee Procedures 2C(2) cautions: "A Committee may define the edge of a penalty area by clearly describing it in writing but should do so only if there will be little or no doubt where the edge is. For example, where there are large areas of lava or desert that are to be treated as penalty areas, and the border between these areas and the intended general area is well defined, the Committee could define the edge of the penalty area as being the edge of the lava bed or desert."  We are going ahead, but IMO "little or no doubt" is not possible. For example, the "edge of desert", no matter how "well defined" is often not a distinct line. Sand and grass may intermingle. An edge defined this way will never be as clear as stakes or a line. We will see what happens!  Other comments: I believe the change will improve pace of play. And have minimal effect on handicaps. (Seems like I saw a study of this, but unable to find it again.)    Does anyone have a similar experience with defining penalty areas by physical features? How did that go?
