I know everyone has their "favorite iron"....You know...the one you hit perfect every time! Is it a "head thing" though? I believe it may be.....We all have one club that we have solid confidence in.....which usually leads to a well struck ball! It is when we are questioning a club, that we tend to duff it!

I love my 4 iron! (never fails)

You??

Is this discounting the wedges? I would have to say my 8 iron, however the club im most comfortable with in my hand would be my gap wedge from the fairway.

Probably my 8 iron although I like all of them from 6 iron down really. When I am hitting balls I always hit loads of 8 irons but the main reason I chose my 8 iron is because when I was a kid we used to go out on the course once a week or so and play 9 holes with just one club and for whatever reason I always took my 8 iron and learned to play all sorts of shots with it. Knock downs, cut up pitch shots, bunker shots, chip and run, you name it I was good at it with my 8 iron.

Ever since I have been a bit partial to it even though my current 8 iron is probably the 20 or 30th one I've owned :)

I guess it depends on where I am hitting from. From the teebox, I usually like my 4 iron - then 8 and then probably my 52 degree gap from the fairway.

If I had to just pick one, it would be my 52 degree... that is what I usually practice with the most.

My new irons are going to be here Monday though, so I may have a different answer next week.

Gotta be my 8 iron. It's the club I'm most comfortable at adress with. Lot of players favour their eight iron it seems? Maybe it's just the right length to be comfortable with?

got to be a toos up between my 8 iron and my SW. From 90 yards and in witht he SW I expect to be looking at no more than 10ft left. From 150 - 160 my 8 iron is a killer.

Seven wood, I can hit it high, I can chip with it, hit it out of the rough, hit it $180from the fairway, 185 from the tee. It was a tough decision because I like my seven iron, four hybrid, and my lob wedge also. Really the only club I don't like is my four wood it definitely is on probation.

I'm suprised nobody has said this yet - I love my putter, as it saves me more than any other club.
If I had to pick a full-swing club, I'd say 3-wood. It puts me in the fairway almost every time.

I think I'm most comfortable with my 8-Iron, even though I love the versatility of my 5-Iron. I'm not at the stage where I can hit trick shots yet, but I seem to be able to hit my 5-Iron higher or lower than a usual swing when the need arises, with corresponding losses in distance.

The 8-Iron is just the one I hit "right" the most.

Still, if I'm going to lay up, it's going to be a 70-75 yard Gap Wedge shot.

Either 7,8, or 9. I guess if I had to choose one it would be the 8 just like everyone else.

    • Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.  
    • Day 2 - range session. Focus on tempo. Not as good as last time, but good. 
    • Happened to me today.  I was with 3 others on a par 5 around 200 yards from the green and I watch these two young girls (200 yards away, I guess 8-10) walk their bikes out onto the golf course, head right for the green and proceed to walk right through the middle of it at which point I yelled at them to get off the green which they did.  On the next green, a guy who I would think was their father, comes out screaming at us and threatening us for yelling at the girls.  He came out a second time when we were on the next tee box screaming obscenities again along with more threats.  My wife doesn't think it's my place as a member to say anything.  Your thoughts?  
    • Day 89 (29 July 25) - Moved up to the mid-irons in the backyard drills today complete with hard foam balls…focus remains on setup and tempo.   
    • https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/handicapping/world-handicap-system/world-handicap-system-usga-golf-faqs/faqs---calculate-course-handicap-and-playing-handicap.html That's up to you and the league. You can do a percentage, or just do 100%. If they're already salty about a 12.4 becoming a 10… I don't know that docking it to an 8 with 80% will go over all that well. If the higher handicaps are winning way too often, a percentage is often warranted. It affects them more than the low handicappers (22 x .2 = 4.4, 2.2 x .2 = 0.44).
