Only 5 clubs...

[qbaldwin]

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

[qbaldwin]

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.

Driver, hybrid, 6 iron, 9 iron, and sand wedge would be standard 5 clubs. Really would depend on the course.

no putter?

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.

Id leave the driver out. What happens if you have  a long par 5 and no wood?

3 Wood, 5 iron, Pitching Wedge, Putter, 8 iron

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.
