I have the following bag this season:

Mizuno MP-001 10.5 degree
2005 Callaway BB 3 wood
TM Rescue Mid 19 degree
Mizuno MX-15 #4I - SW
Odyssey 2 ball DFX

Cant decide whether I need a 5 wood in this lot or not, cant seem to get consistency off the tight cut Carnoustie fairways with the Rescue club, can anyone help.

I don't use a 5 wood anymore.
I never could hit it the way I wanted to.
I just got a 2 hybrid
Hoping it will do the job

Nope. You don't need one. Just might be that burning urge to buy a new club... haha... We all get that. But your current set up looks just fine.

The hybrid club you mention should be very easy to hit from a variety of lies, including tight lies. Might I suggest, respectfully, that you examine the swing you're putting on your hybrid. After all, their design enables them to be so useful and if you learn to use that club well, you can save the money you would otherwise spend on a club you may actually find more difficult to hit from a tight lie.

Shortgame that is the best advice I could probably ever hear, I too think the reason I struggle with the club is because of my execution. I have been told my swing is very nice, but its just the finer points that need tweaking, like maybe turning the hands over or squaring the clubface up. I will refrain from making any further purchases and try to learn with what I've got.

    • Ok, so I’m still confused here. Are you saying I could have used the only available Spot in the bunker even though it was 6-7 feet closer to the hole?   
    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?
